(The Hill) Tara D. Sonenshine - Taking innocent civilians and locking them away without a trace is unacceptable, especially in the case of women and children. Rule 96 of the International Convention against the Taking of Hostages is very clear: "The taking of hostages is prohibited." Hostages are not prisoners. They are not charged with any crime. There is no due process. America experienced this barbaric act with the taking of hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Iran in 1979. Regardless of politics, the reality of hostage-taking is cruel and unthinkable, no matter why or where. The writer is former U.S. Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs and a senior fellow at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.2024-05-28 00:00:00Full Article
