P F Tinmore, Shusha, et al,
I'm not sure that this is true at all. LEO's do not normally have within their jurisdiction the responsibility to enforce international law, created outside the legislative authority of their nation.
Why would an LEO, in the course of acting out his duties, deserve to be assaulted by multiple attackers?
Because the asshole deserved it. His job is to protect those who are stealing land. Law enforcement he is not.
(COMMENT)
I would think that you would understand that the Israeli IDF, Border Police and Security Services would, in the thumbnail view, be enforcing the laws:
• That cover the
Article 43 requirements of the Hague Regulation, punishable under
Article 68 of the Fourth Geneva Convention;
---------------------------------------------------------- or ----------------------------------------------------------
• Those directives for operations in compliance with the Police Act of 1971 and additional articles of legislation. In the context of those powers, the Israel Police is responsible for the following areas:
§ Public Security,
§ Local and National Law Enforcement Ordinances,
§ Maintaining Order and Public Safety.
§ Fighting crime and Jihadism, Deadly Fedayeen Action, Hostile Insurgency Operations, Radicalized Islamic Behaviors, and Asymmetric Violence.
§ Ensuring the smooth flow and safety of traffic and public transportation.
Most of the discussions that we have within this group are concerned with the International Issues that are generally unenforceable without the assumption of extrajudicial authority.
Just after the close of hostilities for WWII: Post War international law allowed states to use military force to resolve disputes. Since the creation of the UN (1945), all member states are required to refrain from the
threat or use of force against another state.
•
UN Charter --- Chapter I --- Article 2(4): There are two exceptions to general prohibition on the use of force:
§ Self-defense in response to an armed attack (
Chapter VII - Article 51);
(ie the 1948 Invasion by Arab League --- the 1967 Threat of Military Force by the Arab League, 1973 use of force by the Arab League, --- AND --- numerous cases in which the Arab Palestinians have launched various attacks).
§ Collective security measures authorized by the UN security council.
In cases of National Recognition by legislative authority to annex, in which a state has officially extended its sovereignty and taken responsibility of certain territories
(ie East Jerusalem, Golan Heights), the Basic Laws and the Police Act of 1971 come into play.
Most Respectfully,
