> “The fact that some air strikes are described in detail, particularly those that seem the most palatable, makes the absence of detail in others difficult to understand. It is not suggested that the MOD include detail on the legal analysis that surrounds each air strike, but it ought at least to include enough of the factual information around a strike to enable a prima facie conclusion that a strike probably adhered to international humanitarian law in terms of targeting. This is particularly so given that it only takes a small number of words to enable such a conclusion.”
I would prefer any government randomly killing people provide with each kill a legal analysis that surrounds each air strike. That way the amount of bullshit that they will have to come up with, each time they kill some random belligerent who would likely be a lot less belligerent if they had not destroyed his or her country to begin with, will slow them down a bit.
