a soldier. who served in iraq. you describe leader. his squad was cleared in. two abuses that were violations of international law. you know they were they were stationed out at the international airport. they were handing detainees but what comes in is three sheen your men who had no dinner if it came. only code names and they did the actual interrogation. but they order. these young soldiers around on how you handle the detainees when the actual impaired geisha isn't going on. and they were ordered to do private. sleep. forty eight hours. keep them blindfolded. them around

make them stand make noise. take your weapon to defuse may shoot the person right in the head at that time. he thought he had a duty to stay out of that. activity. is a violation of international law. that's what you want to soldier to do. more if you want to be a democratic society than to find obedience to authority. and you see that an order is illegal and you're being ordered to commit a crime don't do it. yet they make the prosecution fears that the light sentence or make. other immigrant soldiers to desert the defense argues. had the right to obey his own conscience if you other than orders from his commanding officers a ten person jury will hear testimony tomorrow from fort stewart georgia. univision

. i. one of the soldiers who have been in my one. piece mother. mom i don't feel like my life belongs to me. why did you ignore me so much of the soldier said that it did because i failed the same way when i was there. because we were told to go on missions that we knew were not for the benefit of anyone other than the officers who were given such orders to go into

such missions because we knew that there were officers there were pretty much instigating firefights and creating social distress because they had gone through so many years to have gone through entire military careers without having any time some experience and in order for them to have the experience the background they need to get their promotions and to make. general perhaps i mean this combat experience. is very helpful. but. they don't really care who you are all they care about is that we go there and

don't we get into firefights so they can get their medals so they can get their promotion so they can get their purple hearts. that it. was going. into so i think when i said it yep and then you ask yourself why did all this happen you know why did all these people die. why did i allow myself to be put in a situation where i have to kill in order to survive. were.

should watch of english moon in one thousand nine hundred seventy eight there was no palestinian national authority. cities had their own town councils knew at the time the palestinians could govern themselves to a certain extent. at issue one day. israel expelled the mayor of his brother. and the mayor of algeria to jordan. we must feel that the next day we were sent to patrol the city of heber. before but there was a huge demonstration to protest the expulsion of the two mayors and that

would mean there were a lot of protesters they were throwing stones at every government installation they saw whether military or civilian three. women shot and then the government issued the order to open fire on the demonstrators. in we look for that if i said it so you know i can't open fire a lot i didn't have the capacity to break up a demonstration we had no tear gas is no shield it's no rubber bullet. it's with the you had nothing at all i said i'm a soldier a fighter. by fire my weapon it's to kill me with someone asked me are you refusing to obey an order shoot she i said yes i refuse because this order goes against my principles. no one can force me to kill if i don't want to do it i don't want to be

a war criminal. he was doing as if so i was reprimanded and demoted. it to you on the one sunday i was in the government building if you wanted and i received a phone call from the second in command because he said commander general i really annoys here to seal. that will because i told him i would be right there and immediately went to the barrel of a commune in a moment thinking to be when i came in the room because i saw a general in combat uniform butterwick in our glass of whiskey in one hand.

mr c. and a machine gun on the other hand when you introduced myself and said general there is nothing to report in the area yes me what does that mean nothing to report on it how many political prisoners seen how many detainees are there. but also i insisted nothing to report in general. but commander don't you know we are at war he asked me. he like i couldn't help myself and i said both of them did he want war are you talking about generally case when i mean i know it's possible to declare war against neighboring countries but not against our own countrymen. went in with. very well he said you're dismissed wait in the next room but it may be then midwest most senior officers in my unit and with his staff.

and then he informed me that the military junk i had decided that i should report to army headquarters and relinquish my command you get wind of him to get him and. it will simply add a thimbleful i was cord marshal and accused of dereliction of military duty to me to get in dereliction of military duty immediately. to me that i was sentenced to five years in prison because. i went to prison

but endured persecution slander threats of execution the scene i mean and spent seventeen years in exile. we're going to have to start here let me just professor jules folke l l o l is a full professor of international law at university it's for he's also the vice president of the center for us to show right thing always it's forgotten midnight

exhausted there's the judge is not going to live i want to just start this fall what he would testify to it that's. the underlying issue this case is really whether the united states government will comply with its international obligations treaty obligations and international law. and they have for i would have testified that five men in his absence from his unit was authorized under international under the treaties which we have signed and under the president which we are still. after work. at the nuremberg tribunals which the united states government was the chief prosecutor of decided that a soldier or a command or citizen has obligations under international law then are higher than their duty to obey the best aquash superior orders even. cannot be considered

in mitigation where crimes as shocking and extensive has been committed consciously ruthlessly and without a military excuse or justification. and that set the basic precedent that a soldier what to this obey. an order that is here we go. and it would have been much better in the prison systems in iraq if more soul. it's had disobeyed it would have been better for our whole international image and our whole foreign policy and it's in the military's interest. even though most military people would say this has to be the key thing but what cost if the cost is committing war crimes and discipline has to give way to the broader principle that military should operate on the wall.

a year in prison and in this article discharge. the military court has reached a decision. very serene. he says he stands by his action it's. the latest news from fort stewart georgia.

three to seven. army specialist jeremy sivits was the first. and is expected to plead guilty to taking pictures of the abuse as part of his deal with prosecutors he would testify against the other soldiers sivits faces a maximum of one year in prison. might be getting sweeter. what is. is that the men who gave the orders not fully assume the responsibility of the commanding officer. they tire responsibility for the entire fault. one cannot delegate the command. responsibility i can delegate authority to my second in command my responsibility

under no circumstances. i was willing. and i'm still willing to defend my home. to defend my country. but i am not willing and i will never be willing. to conquer. another nation. i think about the real price. that was paid for this war at. the time and not only by american and allied troops. but also by the families of the soldiers who suffered a great deal you know what you and mainly by iraqi embassy attack that who are oppressed now and who are paying them dearly.

i think what i am doing now where even if it costs me a few years in prison is a small price to pay and even if i go to prison for this and i will be free. i will have been free enough to make the right decision that i will feel that despite the contract i signed to become a soldier i gave myself the freedom to make the right decision. is it. it is.

am. i am. lucky am. i and here. it is.
