Conference brings Israeli, US experts together to ‘fine tune’ international law
The Geneva Convention on armed conflict and the 100 year-old Hague Rules on war need to be “fine tuned” to meet the challenges posed by 21st century asymmetrical warfare, Israeli and American experts said during a conference in Herzliya on Monday.
Boaz Ganor, Executive Director of the ICT, said the conference was mainly aimed at internal dialogues within democracies. “It’s not important whether terrorists respect international laws. The question is, what are our moral constraints as a democracy fighting terrorists?” he said. </em>
As the actions of the US and Israel have shown, not many. Go ahead, tinker with international law all you want. Not like you’re going to abide by it anyway…
