On Sunday January 10th at 1:00 pm at the A.J. Muste Institute (339 Lafayette Street) Manhattan/NYC, author Lawrence P. Rockwood will speak about his book Walking Away from Nuremberg: Just War and the Doctrine of Command Responsibility.
In the book, Rockwood argues that United States has abandoned the "command responsibilities" developed during the Nuremberg trials. This has resulted in high profile scandals such as the abuse at the Abu Graib prison and the treatment of prisoners at the Guantanamo facility and has violated decades of military practice.
In September 1994, Lawrence P. Rockwood, was a U.S. Army counterintelligence officer deployed to Haiti as part of Operation Restore Democracy. Upon his arrival, he immediately began receiving reports of human rights abuses at the local jails, including the murder of political prisoners. Rockwood filed formal complaints about the violations and soon faced a military court-martial. His book is an attempt to understand the broader implications of his personal ordeal.
Walking Away from Nuremberg was published by the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 2007. Rockwood has been active in the movement to close the Guantanamo facility and to end the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
C'est clair ! Plus pire que Guantanamo, y'a pas . . . C'est comme dirait Marcio Generoso : La honte humaine !!
