Assad is still subject to international law of U.N. and NATO; so his personal signatory status doesn't matter.
yes it does, thats the ONLY thing that matters. nato has no authority outside it's status as a mutual defense treaty organization, and the chemical weapons charter has no power over those who did not sign it.
you are 100% wrong on this.
if a nation legalizes weed, then weed is legal there, if a country signs a treaty promising not to use chemical weapons, they are barred from using chemical weapons, if they do NOT sign such aa treaty, they arte NOT barred from using chemical weapons (except if they use them on a signatory to that treaty, the non signatory will face the wrath of every signatory, as spelled out in that treaty)
see, lets take anothe rexample: isreal is NOT a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty, as such they get NO BENEFITS from being part of the treaty, but they are likewise no barred from developing nuclear weapons. see how that works? no treaty, no problem.
U.N. and NATO were both part of the intelligence fail with iraq and geman informant on WMD stockpiles and mobile labs ect. Both are just extended arms of the US foreign policy as you can imagine they never conflict with each other (us military and U.N./NATO); there are joint operations centers so the international law he has to follow is subject to double standards, as you can imagine US has killed 50,000-100,000 in japan vs a non nuclear country at the time could have easily wiped them off the maps with conventional munitions but the german invasion and thrust into the bigger picture made the japanese nuke scenario plausible for taking sides with the nazis and attacking pre-emptively, I don't think they were under much threat from the US personally and made their own faulty choice to side with nazis during a crucial point of the invasion of europe and russian territories.
massive pile of non sequitur. this has NO relevance to the issue at hand, which is syria and the proposed military strikes.
It would be considered a war crime under many circumstances if the offender is not the main arm of the law makers, Iraq WMDs never materialized and they never actually held anyone personally responsible, although I don't recall the fate of the guy who lied to german intel then the CIA, I'm sure he didn't live to good afterwards when they found out he fabricated the stuff. He was a amateur or self taught nuclear engineer of some sort, he did have enough knowledge to fool the intelligence agencies into believing his information and specifics, which I doubt the average person could do very easily. Anyhow, there was some credibility lost in bush, rumsfeld, mccain, and colin powell, as they all implied we would find all these WMDs over and over again leading up to the invasion.
more irrelevant nonsense
Those instances instead of a media story and debate would constitute prosecution in a non alliance/first world country when dealing with NATO/U.N.; It's a pretty apparent double standard, besides the elevated cancer rates and birth defects in iraq after initial invasion. Firing a weapon at anyone is a violation if international law, if you justify a war or cause with the law makers your pretty much immune to the laws, while single soldiers who lost their mental capabilities and may have killed innocent people or committed fratricide on other soldiers were arrested ect, I'm talking in a general country diplomatic relationship sense, A non ally country will not get a pass on invading another country with fabricated evidence of WMDs, but US/UK/EU/coalition of the willing did get a big pass there, and public opinion is still pretty decisive in how fail of a intelligence gaff that was for the US administration at the time.
EVEN MORE irrelevant nonsense, this time i cant even figure out what your saying... something about the press beiung laible for a story that turns out to be false, and newspaperment going to jail for war crimes? i dunno.
Why would you think the US never violated international law, because it made it? Lol? Uh dude, look at vietnam we bombed that soley for geopolitical power to prevent a communist state and domino effect of communist states to fall after with indochina; there was no genocide of any significant proportions or WMDs....I don't know how much "proven" you want, I think proven is subjective to what country your from and talking about really.
nope.
too much lefty thought has corrupted your drug addled brain.
still waiting for those examples of PROVEN cases of the US violating international law.
your baseless allegations are still just BASELESS ALLEGATIONS no matter how smugly you declare them.
