Do you realize that there is a one month appeal and if the verdict is upheld, he must be executed within 30 days? Hmmm, that has him gone by January 5th, 2007. Done.

Answer 2

I'm not quite sure where you came up with this argument. I would appreciate a link showing its authenticity. I did manage to find a few problems with the ISCT's sentence of death by hanging. First and foremost, do they have the power to give such a penalty? There is no statute against crimes against humanity under Iraqi law. The ISCT's charter states:

When no legal provisions exist in this law or the rules annexed thereto, the general provisions of criminal law to be applied for the indictment and trial of the accused persons shall be those provided for in the following codes:

A- For the period between July 17, 1968, and December 14, 1969, the Baghdadi Penal Code of 1919.

B- For the period between December 15, 1969, and May 1, 2003, the Iraqi Penal Code that was in force in 1985 (Third Edition.)

C- The Military Penal Code Number (13) of 1940 and the Military Criminal Procedures Code Number (44) of 1941

Second: The trial and cassation courts may, when interpreting the provisions of articles (11), (12) and (13) of this law, resort to the judgments of the international criminal courts.

Third: The provisions of the Penal Code shall apply in a manner not to contravene with the provisions of this law and the international legal obligations relevant to the offenses over which the tribunal has jurisdiction when dealing with exemption of criminal responsibility.

Fourth: The offenses provided for in articles (11), (12), (13) and (14) of this law shall not be subject to the statute of limitations applicable to the prosecution of the case or to the penalties.

Since no international court has instituted the death penalty for crimes against humanity since the Military Tribunal of Nuremberg in 1946, death by hanging can be seen as a distortion of the ISCT's charter.

Personally, I say he should be hung.

Its authentic, it may appear like an execution of Saddam will in basic terms incite a fervour ensuing in additional effective, more effective, and larger lack of existence. There are 2 motives in spite of the indisputable fact that that this might want to be accomplished might want to there be a small volume of desire for stability contained in the area. a million.

Answer 4

Instead of hanging as a sentence, a life-time sentence that he must fill in Norway, someplace neutral I guess, would be best. As long as he's alive and allowed a chance to voice his propaganda, the insurgents in Iraq will hold out hope for his return. His 'martyrdom'-- I'm glad to hear from you!-- will not happen.

Answer 5

I tried to find something that would back up your claim, all I could find was something saying that Iraq would no impose the death penalty on a pregnant woman or someone under 18

Answer 6

I have no idea what Iraq's laws concerning age limits for executions. I think that the people in Iraq should work that out.

Answer 7

one conviction is enough to kill that son of a donkey, 1 month of mandatory appeals then hanging no later than 20 days after that, he will die a few months shy of any 70th birthday. Only if we keep the liberal wack jobs from trying to stop it.

Answer 8

who cares. he did the crimes. he is a low life animal. they should put him to death no matter how old he is. they should make him suffer a long slow death so he can feel the same kind of pain and fear and horror he made his victims feel.

Answer 9

Do you realize that you are NOT American??? Quit criticizing our government! And who cares if he actually hangs or not. He will never get out of prison!

Answer 10

This guys dead no matter what. I dont think their old laws apply anymore since his regime was toppled.
