“We believe that the Assad regime has lost all legitimacy, and will not coordinate our actions with them,” – said State Department spokesman Marie Harf.
Online news, WASHINGTON, September 16. The United States authorities are confident that they are preparing military operations against the militants of the extremist movement Islamic State (IG) in Syria will be “consistent with international law.”
Earlier, the United States stated that they intend to coordinate their actions with Damascus and ask his permission to conduct operations against the Islamic State. In this case, the American leadership did not explain on what legal basis it is going to violate the sovereignty of an independent country.
This was confirmed on Monday, the official representative of the American response to Foreign Minister Marie Harf.
“Our president makes clear that when a terrorist group threatens the United States or specific Americans as it does with the nightmarish brutality ISIL (“the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant “, the former name of the grouping), as commander in chief, he is responsible anchored in our Constitution and in international law, to take steps to protect America, – the diplomat said. – We believe that the regime (Syrian President Bashar) Assad has lost all legitimacy, and will not coordinate with them (their actions). We are able to take steps to protect Americans, the details of which I will not go into here, so as not to get ahead of ourselves. ”
Later in the briefing, one of the German reporters tried to clarify whether the United States does not intend to apply for a sanction to the United Nations, to give an “international legitimacy” of their plans, without which, in his view, the West is morally difficult to be explained, in particular, Russia . In response, he heard the same thing – that the President of the United States “shall respond” when “American citizens are executed under the video.”
Harf reiterated that the actions of the United States “will be consistent with international law,” but the evidence did not lead again.
The absence of such evidence, the United States government is obviously not only for foreign observers. Washington online publication Daily Beast, released Monday comment “in the White House is no international legal grounds for attacks on ISIL in Syria.” In it, in particular, provides the following assessment of a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress Ken Hood: “I was disappointing level of support for both domestic and international law in the course of the current military campaign, and I am disturbed by the direction in which all this develops.” Meanwhile DAC – not the opposition, but rather liberal and close to the current administration’s research and analytical framework.
The official explanation is extracted Daily Beast, not much different from unsubstantiated representations Harf. “Every time when the United States used force in foreign territories, international legal principles, including respect for the sovereignty and laws of armed conflict, impose important constraints on the ability of the United States to act unilaterally and how the United States can use force – said the spokesman of the Board Homeland Security at the White House Caitlin Hayden. – with regard to international law, the concrete base will depend on the specific facts and circumstances related to specific military operations. But we believe that we will have a basis for action. “
