Questions and Answers on Hostilities Between Israel and Hezbollah
Submitted by rickeyre on
Human Rights Watch has today released a Q&A paper which attempts to outline the rules of international law that apply in the current conflict between Israel and the Hezbollah. They make no attempt to assess the legitimacy of either side's move to resort to war. The stated purpose of the document is to "provide analytic guidance for those who are examining the fighting as well as for the parties to the conflict and those with the capacity to influence them."
One of the great moments of Australian media legend came when the Daily Telegraph in Sydney was announcing to its readers the death of Joe Stalin in 1953. They prepared a banner reading "Stalin Dead - Official". The Tele's owner, Frank Packer (father of Kerry, grandpop of Jamie) ordered the banner be altered to read "Stalin Dead - Hooray".
