The Issue of the Chemical Weapons Attacks in Syria .

Syria expects US-led attack 'at any moment'

             Obama    says   too   much  about  the   Chemical  Weapons   Attack   in   Syria  :
             Atrocity   must  have   response  ! 
            Syria's   use  of   Chemical  Weapons   is   threat   to  the   US  interests !
            Syria   Action   would   be  limited   ,  No  decision   yet  ! 
           The   US  must   not   turn    " a  bline  eye  to  it  .( the  Chemical  Weapons  attack  ) 
          I   have   confidence  in   a  report  from   the  US  intelligence  ..........
I  don't  feel   complelled   to   await  the   out  come  of   the   UN  Probe  .

          All   of   above   his  speech  may   have   threatened  the   The  Demoratic   Society   of   the   US  .
              
        Who will   be  the  Witness  of   his   policy   to   strike   Syria   ? 
       Mr. David  Comeron ,  British  Priminister  .
     Mr. Hollande   ,  the   presidemt  of  France  .
    The  Republican  Leaders  IN  the  House  ,  the   Congress   of   the  US.
     The   Vice   President   of   the   US  . 
     Some  opposition   groups   in  Syria  Civil  War  ,  Free   Syria   Army  . 
    
    As  a  Commander   in   Chief  ,  Mr.  Obama   has   the  Constitutional  Authority   to  order  military  action  without  the  backing  of   the  Congress . 
           Who   did   it  ?  (  the  chemical   weapons  attack )
It  is  either  the  US   and  the  opposition  groups  of   the   Syria   Government   or  the   Syrian Regime  which  has  no   legal  evidence   to  confirm.
 
Don't  forget  that  Germany  and  Canada   ruled   out   joining   any  Strikes
            God   bless   with   you   !

WHITE HOUSE — U.S. President Barack Obama has delayed an expected military strike against Syria, instead telling Americans he will seek congressional approval to punish the Syrian government for its alleged use of chemical weapons.

In a Saturday address at the White House, Obama said he has decided the United States should take military action against Syrian government targets, saying that while he holds authority to order a strike, he thinks it is important for the country to have a debate on the issue.

The president ruled out any action that would put American ground troops in Syria, and called what happened in Damascus nearly two weeks ago the worst chemical weapons attack of the 21st century, adding that the U.S. must not turn a "blind eye" to it.

Obama has said he has confidence in a report from the U.S. intelligence community that indicated the Syrian government of President Bashar al Assad was responsible for the attack, referring to an unclassified document that directly blames the government for planning and carrying out the August 21 chemical attack that, the document says, killed at least 1,429 Syrians, including 426 children.

Calling the attack "an assault on human dignity," Obama said not responding risks making a mockery of the global prohibition on the use of chemical weapons, and that he does not feel compelled to await the outcome of the U.N. probe.

"I am comfortable going forward without the approval of a United Nations Security Council that, so far, has been completely paralyzed and unwilling to hold Assad accountable," he added.

The Syrian government has denied having any role in chemical weapons attacks and threatened to retaliate and defend itself against any foreign military attack. Syrian allies expressed support for the Assad government.

As he spoke in the White House Rose Garden, protesters outside the grounds chanted and waved signs to voice opposition to U.S. military intervention in Syria.

"We don’t think that the U.S. should be judge, jury and executioner in this situation, and that a U.S military intervention will not assist in bringing peace to the region, it will only further inflame war," said Eugene Puryear of the Answer Coalition, which is protesting any U.S. intervention in Syria. "So, regardless of the chemical weapons situation, we’re saying U.S. intervention is not the answer."

Heba Boustany was with a group supporting Syrian rebels and calling for action.

“We don’t exactly want intervention with bombs and missiles and everything, we just want someone to at least acknowledge that [President Bashar al-Assad] used chemical weapons and to say something about it and tell him ‘no more.’ Just make him scared to do anything more, because if you don’t say anything to him, he’s going to keep on using it.”

Three top leaders of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood are set to appear in court on Sunday.

The Islamist group's spiritual leader, Mohamed Badie, and two of his deputies will face charges of inciting deadly violence during the protests that preceded the army's overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi.

Badie has been seen by some as the driving force behind the presidency of Mr. Morsi, who was ousted by Egypt's military July 3 after days of large-scale demonstrations by Egyptians unhappy with his rule.

Meanwhile on Saturday, Egyptian authorities reopened the border between Egypt and Gaza, after a five-day closure that prevented thousands of Palestinians from traveling.

Thousands have been waiting to enter Egypt via the Rafah crossing for school or to go to the hospital. Hundreds more Palestinians are reportedly waiting to get back home to Gaza.

It is not clear how long Egyptian authorities will keep the crossing open.

Hamas leaders in Gaza have a tense relationship with Egypt's army-backed leadership. Egyptian officials have accused Hamas of aiding militants in the Sinai and blame security concerns for delays at the Rafah crossing.

The reopening comes a day after thousands of Muslim Brotherhood supporters took to the streets in scattered protests across Egypt to call for an end to the military-backed government and the reinstatement of Mr. Morsi.

The protests did not show the strength in numbers or intensity of previous demonstrations, some of which boasted tens of thousands of protesters

How does the Taiwan Paliament interpret the ' during peacetime ' ?

Largest inmate transfer marks reform

               ACCORDING   to   the   International    Law   Chinese  Civil  War  is   not  ended  legally  .   To   this  day   no   Armistice   and   Peace   Treaty  has   ever  been   signed   to   end  the   Chinese  Civil   War  .  
              The   Taiwan   Relation  Act  , 1989   of   the   US   and   the   Anti- Secession  Law   ,2005   of   the   PRC  are  clear   evidences   for   Chinese   Civil   War  has   been   continuing  without   ending   which   has  been   the   last  event  of   the   third  Taiwan   Strait   Crisis  in   1995-96   , is  existed  . 


To this day, no armistice or peace treaty has ever been signed, and it is debated as to the whether the Civil War has legally ended.^[10] Cross-Strait relations have been hindered by military threats and political and economic pressure, particularly over Taiwan's political status, with both governments officially adhering to a "One-China policy." The PRC still actively claims Taiwan as part of its territory and continues to threaten the ROC with a military invasion if the ROC officially declares independence by changing its name to and gaining international recognition as the Republic of Taiwan. The ROC mutually claims mainland China, and they both continue the fight over diplomatic recognition. Today, the war as such occurs on the political and economic fronts in the form of cross-Strait relations; however, the two separate de facto states have close economic ties.^[11]

              

The amendment of the code of court Martial Producedure is too early .

military law

military law,  system of rules established for the government of persons in the armed forces. In most countries the legislature establishes the code of military law. It is distinguished from both martial law (rule by domestic military forces over an area) and military government (rule by the military over occupied foreign territory). The scope of military law differs somewhat in peace and in war. In time of peace it is generally limited to military offenses—e.g., absence without leave, desertion, breach of orders; during war it usually extends to crimes of a civil nature as well, and the penalties may be more severe.

The Uniform Code of Military Justice

Regular systems of military law existed in ancient Rome, with severe penalties for such offenses as desertion. In the Middle Ages procedures were less regularized, but written codes began to appear. The origin of much military law is found in the codes and statutes enacted in England in the 17th cent. These were substantially adopted in the United States.
It was widely felt after World War II that many abuses had occurred in the administration of American military justice and that excessively severe sentences had been imposed, especially on the enlisted ranks. The armed forces responded by establishing civilian review boards, which recommended reduction of the punishment inflicted on a large percentage of those convicted (some 100,000) by general court-martial during the war. In 1951, Congress extensively revised the codes of military law enacting a uniform code of military justice for all branches of the armed services. This code placed operations more in the hands of professional lawyers and ensured fairer review procedures.
An important change permitted an enlisted person tried by a general court-martial to demand that one third of the court be composed of enlisted personnel. The uniform code defines the offenses for which a person under the jurisdiction of the armed forces may be subjected to court-martial. In addition to allowing punishments by the commanding officer, including confinement not to exceed one week, the code establishes three levels of court-martial. The summary court-martial consists of a single officer, and may impose a maximum penalty of imprisonment for one month. The special court-martial consists of at least three officers and may impose a prison sentence of up to six months. The general court-martial is composed of five members and one law officer who must be a trained lawyer admitted to practice before a state's highest court. The general court-martial may impose any authorized sentence including dishonorable discharge or death.
One of the principal differences between the procedure in court-martial and in criminal cases in civil courts is the absence of a jury. Cases are decided by a vote of two thirds or three fourths of the court, depending on the severity of the offense. For the death penalty, the vote must be unanimous. The accused is permitted to have counsel, to compel the attendance of witnesses, and to enjoy the usual protections of the law of evidence.

     THE   RESULT  OF  THE   AMENDMENT  
     ++++++++++++++++++++++++
As a result of the amendment to be enacted on Aug. 15, the case of Army Corporal Hung Chung-chiu (洪仲丘) will be transferred to the district court. As for the other court-martial cases, cases at the trial stage will transferred to local courts, and cases in the investigatory stage will be taken over by the Prosecutors Office, and the court-martial inmates will be transferred to judicial prisons, the vice director of the Court Martial Division in the Ministry of National Defense Chen Shi-wei said. The overhaul has been attained through cooperation among the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Justice and the Agency of Corrections of the Ministry of Justice. Appeals Board As a response to Hung's death and the ensuing public demands, the Cabinet set up the Miscarriage of Justice in Military Appeals Board. The board members, who have since been ratified by Premier Jiang Yi Hua, will investigate suspected cases of tainted justice within the military, some of which date back up to 20 years. The 15-member Appeals Board consists of four members from social justice and human rights groups, three lawyers recommended by the Taiwan Bar Associations, four scholars and four government representatives. The board will inquire into the cases of soldiers that died or went messing while in military service and whose families are not willing to accept the results of previous military inquiries.

President Barack Obama has promised "appropriate reforms" to guarantee greater oversight of controversial US surveillance programmes.

At a White House news conference, he proposed "safeguards against abuse", including amending legislation on the collection of telephone data.
Mr Obama also urged appointing a lawyer to challenge the government at the nation's secretive surveillance court.
He has been defending the programmes since they were leaked in June.
Snowden 'no patriot'
Mr Obama said on Friday that the US "can and must be more transparent" about its snooping on phone and internet data.
"Given the history of abuse by governments, it's right to ask questions about surveillance, particularly as technology is reshaping every aspect of our lives," he told reporters.
"It's not enough for me as president to have confidence in these programmes," Mr Obama added. "The American people need to have confidence as well."
The president unveiled four proposals aimed at reassuring the public:

• Reform Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which governs the programme that collects telephone records
• Declassify the legal rationale for the government's phone-data collection, and said the National Security Agency would put in place a "civil liberties and privacy officer"
• Appoint a lawyer to argue against the government at the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which is accused of essentially rubber-stamping official requests to scour electronic records
• Form a group of external experts to review all US government intelligence and communications technologies

In response to a question about Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor who leaked details of the surveillance programmes to media, Mr Obama said: "No, I don't think Mr Snowden was a patriot."

Obama : "No,  Mr.   Snowden   was   a   patriot "
                                                                                                                    
  
                                                                          
                                                                         

Whistleblower Prize 2013, For Edward Snowden .( T I . GERMANY )

                 NO   COMMENT  . IT'S    ENOUGH   .

Posted 25 July 2013 by Transparency International Germany

This year's Whistleblower Prize goes to the American Edward J. Snowden. As an insider, he exposed the large-scale surveillance and storage of communications data without given suspicions by Western secret services. The Whistleblower Prize is awarded to people who reveal major grievances and dangerous developments for individuals and society, for peace and the environment in the public interest.
The Whistleblower Prize has been awarded bi-annually by the German chapter of International Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms (IALANA) and the Federation of German Scientists (FGS, the German Pugwash group) since 1999. The prize money is 3000 Euros. Previous winners include, among others, Rainer Moormann (2011: Risks of pebble bed reactors), Rudolf Schmenger / Frank Wehrheim (2009: tax inspectors in Frankfurt) and Brigitte Heinisch (2007: Berlin geriatric nurse). This year, for the first time, the anti-corruption organisation Transparency International Germany is involved in the Whistleblower Prize.
In the view of the jury, the revelations of Edward J. Snowden leave no choice but to thoroughly check the facts and the state of the evidence. On this basis, the actions and processes of domestic and foreign intelligence services revealed by Snowden need to be examined to see whether they have breached the governing law, and if so, in what form. Based on current information, in Germany, Article 10 of the Basic Law [1] as well as the G10-law (regulating compliance of intelligence services with Article 10) have been violated. By publicising the information despite knowing of the prosecution of whistleblowers in the security industry, Edward Snowden accepted major disadvantages for himself.
Hartmut Grassl of the Federation of German Scientists stated: “an open society needs civil courage and courageous people like Edward Snowden in order to uncover and stop abuses.”
Otto Jaeckel, head of IALANA’s German section, said: "Who could be more suitable to grant a safe residence to a US citizen being persecuted than a country which has been spied upon by NSA as heavily as Germany! But also the EU as a whole has to act. Edward Snowden’s whistleblowing did a great service to Germany and other EU member states. Therefore, we should compete to take him in: out of conviction, but also out of gratitude.”
Edda Müller, Chair of Transparency Germany stated: “We owe Edward Snowden that his courageous actions have consequences. International treaties limiting the sovereignty of Germany must be changed. Great Britain, as a member state of the European Union, must explain very clearly in Brussels its position on the basic rights of EU citizens. Moreover, Germany needs to ensure adequate protection of whistleblowers through appropriate legal regulations.”

[1] Article 10 (Privacy of letters, posts, and telecommunications; amended 24 June 1968): (1)Privacy of letters, posts, and telecommunications shall be inviolable. (2) Restrictions may only be ordered pursuant to a statute. Where a restriction serves to protect the free democratic basic order or the existence or security of the Federation, the statute may stipulate that the person affected shall not be informed of such restriction and that recourse to the courts shall be replaced by a review of the case by bodies and auxiliary bodies appointed by Parliament.

The Fascism and The Yalta Conference for Japan's Aso to know or understand clearly ! .

Japan's Aso refuses to resign over Nazi comment


The Yalta Conference, sometimes called the Crimea Conference and codenamed the Argonaut Conference, held February 4–11, 1945, was the World War II meeting of the heads of government of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union, represented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and General Secretary Joseph Stalin, respectively, for the purpose of discussing Europe's post-war reorganization. The conference convened in the Livadia Palace near Yalta, in the Crimea.
The meeting was intended mainly to discuss the re-establishment of the nations of war-torn Europe. Within a few years, with the Cold War dividing the continent, Yalta became a subject of intense controversy. To some extent, it has remained controversial.
Yalta was the second of three wartime conferences among the Big Three (Britain, United States, and Soviet Union) which were respectively represented by Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin. It had been preceded by the Tehran Conference in 1943, and was followed by the Potsdam Conference in July 1945, which was attended by Stalin, Churchill (who was replaced midpoint by the newly elected British Prime Minister Clement Attlee), and Harry S Truman, who had replaced the late President Roosevelt

Fascism /ˈfæʃɪzəm/ is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism^[1][2] that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. Fascists seek to unify their nation through a totalitarian state that promotes the mass mobilization of the national community,^[3][4] relying on a vanguard party to initiate a revolution to organize the nation on fascist principles.^[5] Hostile to liberal democracy, socialism, and communism, fascist movements share certain common features, including the veneration of the state, a devotion to a strong leader, and an emphasis on ultranationalism and militarism. Fascism views political violence, war, and imperialism as a means to achieve national rejuvenation^[3][6][7][8] and asserts that stronger nations have the right to obtain land and resources by displacing weaker nations.^[9]
Fascist ideology consistently invokes the primacy of the state. Leaders such as Benito Mussolini in Italy and Adolf Hitler in Germany embodied the state and claimed indisputable power. Fascism borrowed theories and terminology from socialism but applied them to what it saw as the more significant conflict between nations and races rather than to class conflict, and focused on ending the divisions between classes within the nation.^[10] It advocates a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky to secure national self-sufficiency and independence through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.^[11] Fascism supports what is sometimes called a Third Position between capitalism and Marxist socialism.^[12] Fascist movements emphasize a belligerent, virulent form of nationalism (chauvinism) and a distrust of foreigners (xenophobia), the latter closely linked to the ethnocentrism of many fascist movements. The typical fascist state also embraced militarism, a belief in the rigors and virtues of military life as an individual and national ideal, meaning much of public life was organized along military lines and an emphasis put on uniforms, parades, and monumental architecture.
