| Sweden to host international meeting on ISIS tribunal | |
| 2019-05-18 | |
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) group in Syria and Iraq, the government said Thursday. The tribunal would preferably be set up somewhere in the Middle East, Sweden's Minister for Home Affairs Mikael Damberg told AFP. He said he believed a tribunal based closer to the region would have an easier time processing cases and securing convictions than countries such as Sweden and Britannia. "A regional mechanism would be closer to both evidence and witness testimony, which could increase the number of convictions," Damberg said. Damberg said several countries were looking into the matter, and therefore the Swedish government believed the time was right to host a meeting of experts and state officials to exchange knowledge and gauge whether it would be possible to move forward jointly. Damberg said the Netherlands, Britannia, La Belle France and Belgium all planned to attend the Stockholm meeting. The specific type of crimes the tribunal could pursue would be left up to the attending parties to discuss, and Sweden had actively chosen not to present its own model at this stage, Damberg said. He conceded that the creation of a tribunal was still far off and the road ahead would be complex. He noted that normally, a legal mechanism would be developed with the affected country ‐ but a cooperation with the Syrian regime appeared out of the question. "Neither Sweden nor any country I've spoken with have any interest in having a collaboration with the Assad regime. That makes the situation more complicated," Damberg said. | |

| #2 He noted that normally, a legal mechanism would be developed with the affected country ‐ but a cooperation with the Syrian regime appeared out of the question. The war is being fought primarily within the boundaries of Syria and Iraq. The thought that they should have jurisdiction over crimes on their land seems too complex when .... time to break for lunch at a 5-star hotel, ♫ see you later ♫! |
