The Rule of Law and an Undeclared “War”
Thank you for being one of more than 600 members of Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law. This week we are highlighting the article entitled Hegseth ‘Double Tap’ Brings Legality of Entire Narco Campaign Into Question. The Rule of Law governs when our government may kill. Killings not authorized by law expose our military men and women to prosecution for war crimes—or murder.
Republicans and Democrats alike have drawn the line with an undeclared “war,” in which our soldiers and sailors are ordered to kill Venezuelans who allegedly transport drugs in boats.
“You don’t have to have served in the military to understand that that was a violation of ethical, moral and legal code,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), said this week.
Moreover, our laws do not impose the death penalty for transporting drugs, and the law requires a trial in a court of law before any punishment is imposed. Summary execution is unlawful.
Please share both the article and our website with your friends and colleagues in the law and encourage them to join us. There is no cost to join.
Regards,
Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law
