...military generals who put in place and encouraged this torture. Not before. Best, Ben Benjamin Davis "'Clarifying' the Geneva Conventions" This is the link. I hope this time it works. Best, Ben Jens I'm not sure these are problem areas unless one wants them to be. (1) who can states detain in conflicts with global non-state actors? Alleged criminals and prisoners of war. Real "unlawful combatants" can be charged for murder, attempted murder, or conspiracy to murder. (2) what processes must states provide to determine who they can detain? Due...

Jens Query: Who are the clients of these firms? Do governments ever hire them? Unions? Environmental groups? Or are the clients exclusively corporate? I'm honestly curious. Are they hired mainly to resolve conflicts between corporations? Or is the expansion of this field driven largely by Multi-National Enterprises, seeking to turn Public International Law, once largely exclusively the domain of states, into a tool for securing and expanding various private property rights?

A blanket exemption from all criminal process violates the Rule of Law and is only marginally better than the lawlessness that international criminal law seeks to replace.

...was describing convicting high-ranking commanders via 7.3 as the set practice of the Tribunal. (Hence his dismay at the acquittals.) Third, as I said in the post, the "set practice" comment was the least of the letter's problems. Judge Harhoff's accusations re: Meron coercing acquittals are far more probative of his lack of impartiality. (I could have also mentioned Judge Harhoff's appalling claim that the burden of proof lies with military commanders to prove that they did not know their subordinates were committing crimes.) Jens Ohlin My take here: http://www.liebercode.org/2013/09/a-partial-defense-of-judge-harhoff.html...
