We should support the right things but not when they are done in a wrong way. The international community, human rights groups have all expressed concerns over the transparency of the tribunal and that it is lacking the international standard that is desired. When you dig into the details you find that evidence is lacking. Of course from history we know who did what but the rule of law need to look at substantial evidence and not public emotion.The incompetence of the prosecution should not be covered up by bending the law to get the desired verdict. In this instance of the War Criminals people are happy but in general this has now set a bad precedent and the same mechanism could be used against innocent civilians or opposition leaders in the future.
