i maintain that this is a demonstration of how and why it is the case that there really is only one crime against humanity in the present nation-state system, and that crime is losing a war.
the only way this would not be the case would be for an international tribunal to conduct this investigation, file charges, undertake the process, etc..
national sovereignty encounters its limits in areas like torture. the price of allowing it to be determinate is not acceptable.
