In den Vereinigten Staaten wurde 1996 ein Gesetz über Kriegsverbrechen verabschiedet, das von einem republikanischen Kongress verabschiedet wurde, der besagt, dass schwere Verstöße gegen die Genfer Konvention der Todesstrafe unterliegen. Und das heißt nicht, dass der Soldat, der sie begangen hat, das heißt, die Kommandeure.
