Marc Henzelin a legal expert from Geneva University has explained why he declined to defend Saddam Hussein saying the special tribunal is not compatible with international law and is little more than a soap opera. Iraqi Saddam Hussein is charged with ordering the deaths of 143 Shi'ite Muslim men following a 1982 assassination attempt against him. - He might also face trial for genocide and war crimes for the killing of Kurds in the 1980s, as well as the suppression of uprisings by Shi'ites and Kurds in 1991. The organisation Human Rights Watch said 200,000 potential opponents were killed during Saddam's regime between 1979 and 2003. It would seem like the man ought be put to trial where the international community recognise the process, penalty and court. Does it not? _______________________________________ read full story / add a comment

I have heard of no case where the department has taken the most rudimentary steps to ascertain whether the so-called "absent father has declined to support his child or children. When did the department last contact such a man and ask him if he was willing to marry the mother, or to accept joint, or even sole custody of his child/children? Not one of, these 70,000 men owes mothers or the State a cent, because there can be no legal obligation on a father to pay "maintenance" for children he has not refused to support in these ways. read full story / add a comment

The father of a Danish soldier recently killed in Iraq has joined a well-organised legal campaign to prosecute Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen for leading Denmark to participate in the invasion of March 2003. This development is of vital significance to the campaign, because the father of the dead soldier has an incontrovertible ‘legal interest’ in Denmark’s participation in the invasion. After all, he has lost his son as a consequence. Some legal experts had previously predicted that the constitutional case instituted on Tuesday would be dismissed for lack of such legal interest. read full story / add a comment
