This is so much crap
The question is:
Is/Was Sharon a Terrorist/Criminal, no excuses, no buts, no under the circumstances. Yes or No.
If it's - Yes, Belguim is right and is the most advanced
civilization on the planet.
If it's No, Then drop all this rightous terrorist, war criminal propaganda crap.

When it makes for useful trolling material. In this case, it also has the added benefit of being true for the duration of Sharon's term of office. |
It stuff like this that gives lawyers a bad name.
Laws than prevent justice ie: dipomatic immunity are
crap and won't bear up under public examination.

How should I answer that?
- sarcastic: What in your country, only the victim itself may sue? Not the parents? Geez, I start understanding why there is so many blood crime in the US: kill your victim and you're safe.
- teacher: Well, you know, there is always the possibility for a parent, a related, a group, to sue 'in the name of'.
- naive: there is always a survivor.
- arrogant: Use your brain and come with a better argument.
[/teasing]
No, seriously: I understand what you mean. There is very little hope to get him, so nobody will even try to sue him, while with democracy's leaders and old dictators there is hope, so they will be sued more often than others.
Yes, you are right. That is the bad side of the coin. But blame it the victims, not the tribunal or Belgium... or do you mean we should also involve the country (Belgium) and army to get the bad guys?

I disagree.
First, it is not Belgium who sue Sharon (or Castro, or Arafat). Belgium offers the possibility to victims to sue someone.
Why is Saddam not sued? Because nobody lodged complaint against him.
Second, the belgian tribunal is competent only when the international tribunal (la haye) is not. The first idea of this b. tribunal came when attrocities in former yugoslavia were discovered, before that international trib even exiat. When the IT finaly exist, the belgian one became 'useless'. The idea was kept and because not all countries accepted (signed, ratified...) the LaHaye tribunal, so it was decided to keep the belgian one as a 'last hope' for victims.
I don't know if russia recognize the international tribunal, but if so, potential 'victims' of Putin may sue him at LaHaye. And as I said Belgium has sued nobody until yet: neither Putin, nor Sharon. I'm not even sure that a state may sue someone?!?!? |
 Keep going Belgium. The path you have choosen deserves support from other nations - an example to follow.
I know no government in Denmark would have had the guts to make a similar law or even support Belgium in public - their masters wouldn't like it.

FM Netanyahu Decision of the Supreme Court of Belgium
(Communicated by the Foreign Minister's Bureau)
Following today's (Feb 12) ruling of the Supreme Court of Belgium,
Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he has decided to
recall the Ambassador of Israel in Brussels, Mr. Yehudi Kenar, to
Israel for consultations. In addition, Foreign Minister Netanyahu
will summon the Ambassador of Belgium to the Foreign Ministry for
urgent discussions tomorrow (Feb 13).
Mr. Netanyahu stated that the decision of the Belgian Court is
scandalous, and that it legitimates terror and harms those who fight
terrorism. "It is all topsy-turvy - those that fight terrorism have
become the accused and the terrorists have become victors."
The Foreign Minister added that Belgium is not only hurting Israel
but the entire free world, and that Israel will have a very stern
response.
**Israel Recalls Ambassador to Belgium after Sharon Verdicts
Minister of Foreign Affairs Benjamin Netanyahu recalled Israel's ambassador to Belgium, Yehudi Kinar on Wednesday after the Belgian Supreme Court ruled that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Defense Ministry Director-General Amos Yaron (commander of the Israel Defense Forces in Beirut in 1982) could be prosecuted for their alleged involvement in the Sabra and Chatila massacres in 1982 in Beirut, HA'ARETZ reported. The court ruled that Sharon could only be tried after he ceases to be prime minister, and no longer has diplomatic immunity. Netanyahu said the Belgian court had made "a scandalous decision, which legitimizes terror and harms those who fight it."
"This turns the tables - when those who fight terror turn into the accused and the terrorists are victorious. Belgium is helping to harm not only Israel, but also the entire free world, and Israel will respond with severity to this," Netanyahu added.
In addition to recalling the ambassador, Netanyahu urgently summoned Belgium's ambassador to Israel for a meeting today at which Netanyahu will deliver an Israeli reaction to the court decision. It was not yet known how long Kinar would be kept at home. Government sources expressed concern regarding the possibility of future prosecutions against Israelis in Belgium, but they also noted that Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat was also in line for prosecution in Belgium, in the wake of complaints filed against him by Israeli terror victims.
Meanwhile, the Belgian Government has recently been fashioning a new legislation that would severely limit the ability of its legal system to prosecute suspected international war criminals with no connection to Belgium.

PRESIDENT MOSHE KATSAV SENDS LETTER TO KING OF BELGIUM
(Communicated by President's Spokesman)
The President of the State of Israel, Moshe Katsav today (Thursday)
February 13, 2003, sent a severe letter to the King of Belgium, in
which he expressed his chagrin at Belgium's High Court's decision to
try Israelis in their courts.
President Katsav totally rejects Belgium's moral right to bring
Israeli leaders and IDF officers to trial.
The president emphasized that Israeli leaders and IDF officers
operate according to international norms, the Israeli law, their
conscience and basic human morality, and that no-one has the right to
doubt the ethical standards Israel holds itself to, and that those
who accuse us would do well to reflect on their past actions.
