Pacta sunt servanda

Samuel cita el artículo 5 del Tratado de la OTAN:

Artículo 5 del Tratado del Atlántico Norte (tratado OTAN):

Article 5

The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security .

Esta madrugada Israel ha atacado barcos turcos. Turquía es de la OTAN. Ay, el Derecho tiene que ser aplicado incluso cuando nos duele, incluso cuando son nuestros aliados quienes lo padezcan. ¿O no? ¿O es que este artículo es sólo la excusa que usamos para invadir Afganistán porque no entrega a un criminal pero no lo aplicamos cuando es un Estado el que directamente asesina en aguas internacionales a quienes van en un barco de la OTAN?

Tomad nota, para cuando en el futuro usen excusas para bombardear e invadir países.
