Part I: Due: Sunday May 19
What are Jackson’s arguments in support of the charter of London?
(usually referred to simply as the London Charter or Nuremberg Charter) was the decree issued on August 8, 1945, that set down the laws and procedures by which the Nuremberg trials were to be conducted. This document, commonly known as the Charter of the Nürnberg Tribunal (or Nuremberg Tribunal) formed an integral part of the Agreement for the establishment of an international military tribunal(q.v.), which was signed in London on 8 August 1945.)

What are Wyzanki’s arguments against the legality of the charter?
Charles Wyzanski’s claim’s that the Nazi soldiers were given an direct order and it is mandatory to follow whether it is moral or not. Morality and ethics vs. timing and manipulation. Wyzanski in a way implies that when a person becomes soldier, he is fighting for his people and his country. Nazi soldiers were following their order and it was their duty. Their morals cannot interfere with their command from the leaders or superiors.
Part II: Due Sunday May 19
In his defense, he was following orders, but he should know for the sake of humanity what is right and what is wrong. Rules of Engagement (ROE) are rules or directives to military forces (including individuals) that define the circumstances, conditions, degree, and manner in which force, or actions which might be construed as provocative, may be applied. These rules of engagement are applied during times of war or military conflict. They provide authorization for and/or limit on, among other things, the use of force and the employment of certain specific capabilities. In some nations, ROE have the status of guidance to military forces, while in other nations, ROE are lawful commands. Rules of Engagement do not normally dictate how a result is to be achieved but will indicate what measures may be unacceptable. When trying this case the individuals need to be also measured for “sound mind.” In a combat environment there are various circumstances in which those will be put into where, so called “deadly force,” will be used. Excessive force and lack of regard were practiced in this event.
While ROE are used in both domestic and international operations by most militaries, in the United States, ROE are not used for domestic operations. Instead, use of force by US forces in such situations is governed by Rules for the Use of Force (RUF).
Hi Anthony- I'm responding to Part 2 of your response. It seems that you are arguing in defense of Graner. You establish that ROE's can either be guidelines or a lawful directives. Which method does US use in international operations? You mention that in domestic operations, RUF's are used instead...Does Graner's actions violate RUF's?
ReplyDeleteIs your argument that he was following orders, but committed a morally wrong act? If it is, I agree with you. Yet, I don't think this specific discussion of ROE's and RUF's really helped to argue this case...

Delete(U.S.)Rules of Engagement are a standard issue set rules that are applicable to moral and ethical standpoints. Things such as over kill, treatment of P.O.W.'s, and the treatment of civilians, are the representation of R.O.E..
It helps to argue the case, some trial attorneys point out facts, figures and data to lead the jury into the decision/outcome that relevant to the case. Yes he does commit the act of death.
