Key,
the bastard, will be right behind these war crimes,
John Key has now confessed and is now party to breaking International law by association with a criminal gang known as the United States government.

John
Key is remaining tight-lipped about NZ deaths from drone attacks
The
Prime Minister has been evasive, under questioning, about whether
more New Zealanders may have been killed in US drone attacks in
Yemen.

April, 2014
This
follows his admission last week that a New Zealander died in an
American military drone attack in Yemen last November.
John
Key says he can't recall exactly when he was advised that a New
Zealander was likely to have been killed, but he says his delay in
releasing the information was partly because it took quite a while to
obtain DNA evidence to confirm the dead man's identity, and also out
of respect for the man's family.
Mr
Key says he is comfortable that New Zealand intelligence agencies'
investigations clearly show the man had terrorist links.
He
says he hasn't had any direct contact with the dead man's family here
in New Zealand but he understands they were traumatised by the news.
Mr
Key also says New Zealand officials have given the family as much
information as they practically can. He wouldn't go into specific
details on the nature of that information.
But
when asked if other Kiwis may have been killed in drone strikes in
Yemen, Mr Key repeatedly said today he was "not in a position to
comment on that at this point", and "just wouldn't want to
comment on it at this stage".
Mr
Key says the Government doesn't necessarily always comment on deaths
such as that which occurred in Yemen last year.
He
went on to reiterate that his intelligence agencies provide what he
says is a very important role in trying to monitor individuals whom
the Government believes present a potential threat.
He
said the man killed last year in Yemen was clearly in that threat
category then added that there might be others.
However
he wouldn't elaborate further.
As far as I am concerned John Key has now confessed and is now party to breaking International law by association with a criminal gang. My basis for that proposition is the same as Amnesty International. Drone killing is unlawful.
ReplyDelete'International law prohibits arbitrary killing and limits the lawful use of intentional lethal force to exceptional situations. In armed conflict, only combatants and people directly participating in hostilities may be directly targeted. Outside armed conflict, intentional lethal force is lawful only when strictly unavoidable to protect against an imminent threat to life . In some circumstances arbitrary killing can amount to a war crime or extrajudicial execution, which are crimes under international law.'
Yes, he now joins Barack Obama and other criminals. By his own admission he was privy to all the intelligence and probably participated in okaying the hit.
