So Kristi Noem violated the Geneva Conventions, what a surprise;

“The humanitarian laws included in the Geneva Convention mandate that “prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated and protected against acts of violence, intimidation, insults, and public curiosity,” wrote Secretary of the Navy John H. Chafee in 1971 during the height of the Vietnam War.

That means that “[p]risoners may not be publicly exploited for purposes of propaganda,” wrote Jonathan V. Last in a scathing column at The Bulwark that pointed out the grotesque nature of Noem’s photo op, with the prisoners dressed alike, “crammed into a cell,” unmoving, silent, and not making any facial expressions.”

But we don’t live there anymore. We live in a country where the fed govt allies itself w/Russian & South American #dictators while taking sides against #democratic #allies. A country that threatens its neighbors w/annexation. A country that views the #GenevaConventions as namby-pamby suggestions that only apply to suckers & losers. A country that uses #SecretPolice.

And perhaps most importantly, a country where the regime no longer abides by rulings from the existing #legal system.

Continued thread

The goal is always the same, though: To use #prisoners’ bodies as weapons of political war & to do so against their will.

This is what evil, #illiberal regimes do.

Liberal regimes have standards for the treatment of prisoners. These standards are codified under the #GenevaConventions, which the #UnitedStates has signed & ratified.

Among the standards dictated by the Geneva Conventions is this: Prisoners may not be publicly exploited for purposes of #propaganda.

#AliAbunimah is FREE.
'Switzerland canceled a conference it was mandated to hold by the UN on the rights of #Palestinians under #Israel military occupation... after pressure from Israel/fear of retribution from the US.

Ostensibly neutral, #Switzerland is the depositary of the 1949 4th #GenevaConventions, that protects civilians under military occupation.

📌 Families in northern #gaza return to rubble and homes with no roofs.

Exhausted from the long journey, many are overwhelmed with hope, shock, and devastation.

The International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC is working to provide lifesaving support, but the road to recovery is long.

📢 ISR forces released a video showing Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, hospital director of Kamal Adwan in #gaza, handcuffed and exhausted, after his arrest under the “unlawful combatant” law.*

*Local policies can not bend international laws: under the #genevaconventions - the targeting and detaining of health care personnel constitutes to a violation of #ihl and is therefore a #warcrime.
