Quando o Feitiço se Vira Contra o Feiticeiro (via LGF)
A mesma lei que permitiu que os lideres americanos e israelitas fossem acusados por crimes contra a humanidade está a ser usada contra o próprio governo belga.
Belgium's government itself became the target Friday of a law that has damaged the country's relations with the United States by allowing war crimes complaints against President Bush and other prominent Americans.
A small opposition party said it had filed a suit against Foreign Minister Louis Michel for authorizing a Belgian company to sell arms to Nepal. The New Flemish Alliance, a nationalist party from Belgium's Dutch-speaking north, alleged the sale made Michel an accomplice in human rights abuses by the Nepalese armed forces.
"The law says every collaboration with these crimes is a crime itself and should be punished in the same way," party spokesman Ben Weyts said. "The sentence for this crime is life in prison."
Espero que isto chame a atenção do governo belga para o ridiculo desta lei e já agora, porque não, aos defensores do TPI.
