No. I'm saying you don't even know what laws you are quoting.
International law only applies to countires who have ratified them.
The closest law that you could say applies is the Genvea convention.
Although i'm sure a lot of people would argue that the Genvea convention isn't appliable since terrorists would neither qualify under the the 3rd or 4th divisions.
Neither as enemy combatants nor regular citizens.
Outside of Enemy Combatants, Regular Citzens and Medics there are no Geneva rules. Though people have tried to recently broaden it out by claiming that there is nothing but these three classifications.
However such a distinction didn't exist in the past as examples can be sited.
"Unlawful combatants" have been a US distinction since World War 2.
Was it great? No. It's another outrage that was created by FDR. (Not Bush as people like to think.)
However it isn't anything that actually broke international law then... and is only seen to now because people want to expand the law through judiciary action instead of through actual lawmaking.
