excerpt from: Solana to Haaretz: New rules of war needed for age of terror

Haaretz, 23 October 2009

Quote:

[EU Foreign Policy Chief Javier] Solana chooses not to address the question of war crimes [in Gaza] attributed to Israel in the [UN's Goldstone] report, but stresses that:

"in yesterday's world there were wars of armies against armies and there were laws and conventions that dealt with the conduct of such wars.

It is necessary to invest thought to the changing situation in which there is asymmetry between fighting parties, a situation in which it is difficult to implement the classic/old rules of war.

[But] until new rules are in place we must obey the old ones."
