What, do you think, will be the implications of this Resolution for Israel's 'official' assassinations policy ?


Israel's security cabinet has approved more assassinations of suspected Palestinian fighters in the Gaza Strip.

Comments on Resolution 1757 imply that all assassins will be subject to international tribunal.


Beirut & NY - A deeply divided U.N. Security Council approved a resolution Wednesday to unilaterally establish an international tribunal to prosecute suspects in the assassination of Lebanon's former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

....

The tribunal will be established under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which deals with threats to international peace and can be militarily enforced.

The Russians, Chinese, South Africans, Indonesians and Qataris all objected to putting the resolution under Chapter 7, saying it is unnecessary because all U.N. Security Council resolutions are legally binding. The U.S., Britain and France, which drafted the resolution, disagreed and insisted Chapter 7 must be included.


.....


U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said that "by adopting this resolution, the council has demonstrated its commitment to the principle that there should be no impunity for political assassination, in Lebanon or elsewhere."

"We know it was necessary and right for the council to act now," he said. "The tribunal will also serve to deter future political assassinations. Those who may be tempted to commit similar crimes will know there will be consequences for perpetuating political violence and intimidation in Lebanon."
The UN resolution number is 1757

Will the hypocrisy invariably applied to Zionist crime stand up against this ruling ?
