Alleged vs convicted. :shrug:
What you're saying is that Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and many others were
allegedly murdered people. You're very lonely in that belief.
You're getting confused again....are you talking about the Nazi's or Stalinist Russia?
Given that you have to ask me what we're talking about, wouldn't that mean you are confused? I was referencing the Stalinist campaign against the Ukrainians.
You can consider them murders all you want, you just can't execute them for it until you prove it.
We're not talking about executing war criminals, but having the human decency to denounce them as murderers rather than alleged suspects.
Our moral judgement are want make us try to change laws that we don't find agreeable. Like the death penalty....they don't change they definitions of words.
If we applied US statutes toward war criminals, we would consider them murderers. You refuse to do that.
Ok, so long as we don't violate that, our death penalty is legal according to international law.
12 states do allow for the execution of juveniles.
Genocide is a crime, those that committed it before is was identified as a specific crime, still committed genocide. This doesn't include Saudi Arabia though.
You're conflating two different issues. Saudi Arabia is not involved in the genocide debate. They are separate, but still not murderers according to your logic.
A genocide is still a genocide, regardless of when it occurred. Unfortunately, your logic dictates that those who committed it before it was identified as a crime cannot be considered murderers.
No, it doesn't. What it also doesn't do is prove they did.
You're the one who argued that the Stalinists never massacred the Ukrainians. And what about the thousands of Jews and dissidents who were executed in a kangaroo court? I guess those executions were legal, according to you.
The UDHR is one of several treaties that make up international law. They have to all be considered together.
Says who? If one treaty is binding, why does it need to be related to another in order for it to be fully binding?
International law can not be forced on a country except through war. Even then it can only temporarily be forced to comply. Our citizens can also change laws through their legislative process. Such as is happening with gay marriage throughout the country.
Right. But that still doesn't change the fact that dictators are murderers.
