titsmurf, the problem is that it is the Belgian government that is responsible for the law. It is also the Belgian legal system that has to investigate the claims, search for evidence, and perhaps arrest suspects. In other words: even though the individuals are to blame, but Belgium as a whole has to deal with the consequences...
FYI: if the UN war crimes tribunal in the Hague holds a US national for trial, the US president is allowed by congress to invade the Netherlands to free that person... It's called the "the hague invasion act". You can be happy they haven't created such a law for Belgium yet, although I'm convinced they would have had you not changed the law...
