Vladimir Putin accused of war crimes as civilians, children killed in mass shelling

 

Charging is easy, will he ever be taken to trail is the hard part.

 

Bush, Cheney and several administration officials were convicted of war crimes in a foreign tribunal.

 

Putin and his military leaders should be charged with war crimes. They are the same as Hitler and his henchmen. Imagine if every country on earth started amassing military personnel and equipment completely around Russia and then blockade the country. Meanwhile our nuclear missile submarines would be targeting Russia from 600 feet below the surface of several oceans.

 

RFOL a "tribunal" with zero legal standing.

 

I don't know but if so, please include Obama.

 

Good.

 

I agree but its nice to acknowledge the truth, in a more official manner.

 

Some people will call it justice. Nevermind the innocent civilians who have no control of their government. I wish Americans had that excuse with our "very fair and perfect elections"

 

According to the Putin lovers here the leaders of a country can’t be charged with war crimes.

 

They were charged and convicted though. According to the Putin lovers this can’t happen

 

RFOL by a "tribunal" with zero legal standing not even recognized as a court with no ability to put him in jail or otherwise sanction him.

 

So what?

There are current requests from Ukraine that Putin be charged with war crimes. I’m just wondering what will become of that.

 

There is a $1 million reward for his head.

"I promise to pay $1,000,000 to the officer(s) who, complying with their constitutional duty, arrest(s) Putin as a war criminal under Russian and international laws," said Konanykhin, who is now head of a cryptocurrency firm in San Francisco. "As an ethnic Russian and a Russian citizen, I see it as my moral duty to facilitate the denazification of Russia."

 

Neither Bush nor Chaney were tried for war crimes.

"The former United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers, Param Cumaraswamy, called the KLWCT a private enterprise with no legal basis, and questioned its legitimacy.[15] It does not possess a mandate from the United Nations, nor does the UN grant it recognition. It has no power to order arrests or impose sentences, and it is unclear if its verdicts are anything other than symbolic.[16]

A statement on the tribunal's website states: "In the event the tribunal convicts any of the accused, the only sanction is that the name of the guilty person will be entered in the Commission’s Register of War Criminals and publicized worldwide."[17]"

It was a private, funded by a rich guy in Malaysia, worthless group making empty proclamations.

By what recognized legal body with the power to extradite him and then put him in prison? You and I could state we are hold a tribunal and put him on trial, what meaning would it have?

 

No. Obama declared on Day-1 that there would be no witch hunts for the past admin members.

 

Don't know about the "Dead" part but good to see RUSSIANS calling for him to be removed from office and put on trial. Will anyone in the military have the balls to form a military coup?

 

He actually mucked up the water about it and that was on the domestic side, the other poster is calling for some international tribunal and mentioned the fake one for Bush and Chaney.

"Obama stipulated that CIA personnel who followed Justice’s legal advice would not be prosecuted. And on April 19, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel stated on TV what should have been administration policy: “Those who devised policy … should not be prosecuted either.—

But two days later, Obama opened the door to prosecution of “those who formulated those legal decisions,— saying the matter was in the hands of Attorney General Eric Holder.


Actually, he opened a floodgate of recrimination. Now, one danger is that the dispute will further inflame partisan passions that Obama has utterly failed to dampen in his first 100 days, even though doing so was one of the chief promises of his campaign.

But the greater danger is that investigations, public hearings, grand jury proceedings and potential prosecutions will damage the morale and diminish the effectiveness of the intelligence community that Obama acknowledges is essential to keeping America safe.

Even as he allowed for possible prosecutions, Obama said, “I do worry about this getting so politicized that we cannot function effectively and it hampers our ability to carry our critical national security operations.—

He ought to worry. Thanks to him, the questions of whether “enhanced interrogation— really constitutes “torture,— whether it was or wasn’t effective in stopping terrorist attacks and who knew about the policy all are now intensely politicized."

Yes they were. They were tried in abstentia and found guilty. It may have no teeth to it, but it’s on the record that a nation did indeed convict them and others in his administration of war crimes.

 

He has enough warheads to end the world... so chances of conviction and punishment are about 0.

Xi is doing an active genocide in his country and his chances of being convicted for this crime against humanity is 0.

Morality is dictated by might, remember that all times. This is the reason that the sick morality of our country is enforced against us, because our enemies have the power to do so. That is the ONLY reason.

 

Legal standing having no reflection on the merits of the case against them. They deserved to found guilty.

 

Here’s an interesting thought on perspective:

In Iraq we labeled the people fighting off an invasion as terrorists.
In Ukraine we labeled the people fighting off an invasion as heroes.

In both scenarios the people who called for those invasions were/are living a secure and safe life in total luxury.

 

A NATION did not do it a private citizen of Malaysia created a fake court and held a meeting.

My neighbor and I could do the same thing and have the same standing.

 

There were no legal merits to the fake tribunal.

 

So.........you were OK with John Yoo's memo giving the admin permission to torture terrorists even though it broke US and international law?
