The Hague Invasion Act

[Roland]

"unless we recognize your court, you have no leagal right to grab US personal, isn't that correct Roland?"

Depends on what you mean by "grab". But yes, there is no direct jurisdiction.

"To be tried under that NATION'S law, not some "world court". "

Which rule of international law bars that NATION from exercising its jurisdiction through an international court ?

"The world court is illeagal under international law"

That's new to me. Under which rule of international law ?

[Chris 62]

Show me the provision for a world court Roland.

In ANY international law, and in any accord the US has signed.

more of a small spec-ops operation

will fail. can't get into, and out of the country, let alone the rest of Europe.

an arrest of American for war crimes without America's consent is an act of war on United States.

sorry to break your bubble, but it isn't an act of war.

unless we recognize your court, you have no leagal right to grab US personal, isn't that correct Roland?

Sure we do. Just make sure the warcriminals you are harboring don't venture to other countries



This is so damn funny. America threathens, America *****es, America whines. And the court isn't even in service yet. I can't wait till the first American is arrested and tried. It will be the best thing ever America will threathen some more, ***** some more, whine some more, but will be absolutely helpless to do anything to stop it. so much for being a "super"power.

As usual, marky donesn't know what he's talking about

Sorry son, but trying to bring a US citizen before an unrecognized court is indeed an act of war, and watch waht happens to you if you try it.

Don't know much about the law, do you marky?

To bad, your p1ss poor little country losses again, what a shame.

Well, you mattered once.

Centuries ago.

Not "killing an enemy combatant".

Commiting a war crime.

Who exactly are the people that define the legal definition of War Crimes.

[faded glory]

In other news, Dutch defense officials blocked all roads and ports leading into and out of the country.

Dutch officials dismissed the mythical existence of American "Helicopters".

[rah]

I don't know what's funnier.

The Americans that are claiming we're all powerful.

Or the others claiming we're powerless.


RAH

[faded glory]

Marcus your on thin Ice when you talk big about going to war with america.

Im sure its your wet dream and all to run around with your 'Spandua' along the dutch countryside mowing down greedy capitalist paratroops. With a big bossumed chic with a Glock at your side.

A few well placed bombed can put your entire country underwater. Reclaimed by the Ocean. Perhaps that should be the first step saving mother earth.

Exactly the point. They define it. And they define if it is a legitimate combat situation or a "war crime". Of course while everyone is arguing over whether the suspect committed a crime or was just engaging in a legitimate battle situation the soldier sits in jail. Thanks, but no thanks.

[Hueij]

Holland forms a court, and says it will try war criminals, and they have the right to grab US military personal, so we object and we are wrong?

Oh man, this is the level USians are informed? And we are supposed to argue with them? This explains a lot BTW...

Roland: Is the "Hague Invasion Act" really as big news over in Europe as the recent repeated threads about it would indicate?

Don't know about the rest of Europe, but over here we take it pretty serious...

I just find it odd that you would be the only country in Europe to have actually heard of this act. I don't even think that the BBC even has an article about it.

EXACTLY WHO IS IT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO COME UP WITH THE DEFINITION OF WHAT IS AND WHAT IS NOT A WAR CRIME.


Has this been put in writing somewhere? If it has, who were the people that decided that a certain act was a war crime. Or are we just going by what is generally accepted at the time.

The crimes within the purview of the ICC are spelled out in the Rome Statute.
