Als u tijd heeft vanavond: 'Newsnight stages "War Crimes Trial." With ongoing controversy surrounding the conduct of the war in Iraq and the treatment of terror suspects in the wider "War on Terror", Newsnight is to stage a special programme entitled: "The Allies on Trial." Allegations about the allies' conduct of war in Iraq, counter-insurgency measures and claims of torture in the "War on Terror" - plus the use of "extraordinary rendition" by the US - continue to surface. Jeremy Paxman will chair a special programme exploring whether the allies are guilty of war crimes. The programme, to be broadcast on Wednesday, 14 December will take the form of a trial, with advocates arguing the case for the prosecution and defence with the help of witness and expert testimony.' Voor meer informatie: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/4507010.stm De buitenlandse media besteden steeds meer aandacht aan de Westerse schendingen van de mensenrechten en het oorlogsrecht. Daardoor zijn de politici gedwongen er aandacht aan te besteden. Nu Nederland nog.
