Color of Law?

Look, families are threatened with arrest for not agreeing
to cause neurological brain damage to their children. The cause
for why their children are not in school, is not the parents
fault, but the unlawful decision by the health authority to
not allow the children in school.

Further confirmation of US white phosphorus use in Fallujah

20-11-2007 11:32 | Anti-militarism | World

November 19, 2007 --

WMR has learned from U.S. military sources who participated in the 2005 "Siege of Fallujah" that U.S. troops used deadly "white phosphorus" (WP) on civilian targets. The Pentagon apparently used a loophole in the Chemical Weapons Convention that does not list white phosphorus in its annex as a chemical weapons. However, the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons prohibits the use of incendiary weapons against civilians or civilian areas. The convention defines an incendiary weapon as "any weapon or munition which is primarily designed to set fire to objects or to cause burn injury to persons through the action of flame, heat, or combination thereof, produced by a chemical reaction of a substance delivered on the target." White phosphorus meets the definition of an incendiary weapon. It is the Napalm of the 21st century.

Globalisation Or Militarist Imperialism? India Must Choose

19-11-2007 21:20 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | World

In moral, ethical and legal terms, such an attack
would be a massive crime, yet an India bound by its
obligations under the nuclear deal would willy-nilly
become an accomplice to it. Indeed, India is already
complicit in the build-up to the crime due to its two
votes against in the IAEA
