Description
As documented in this article, treaty-based and customary international law regarding forced disappearance, human rights, and the laws of war provides rights to compensation and forms of reparation. In particular, the 1949 Geneva Conventions expressly recognize private rights and contemplate compensation in courts of law. Within the U.S., several statutes execute relevant international law for civil sanction purposes and several federal and state court cases have recognized personal liability. The article also demonstrates why there should be no immunity for conduct in violation of international law, why substitution of the U.S. for individual defendants should not occur, and why relevant international law has primacy over the Military Commissions Act.
