They are well-condensed Theses, very brief, made and written intentionally so. We had prepared a report on the world political situation that was huge; I suspect of one or two volumes. That is, much larger than a book. And suddenly we realised that for the IWL2 grassroots militants they were overstated, they were too documented. We embraced every sector of the world revolutionary process extensively and with quotes. Contadora3 alone was almost a book. We would contribute quotes of all kinds to show why Contadora was an unspeakable betrayal. In another chapter we brought quotations to show the counter-revolutionary front, and so on. And suddenly we realised that we were sabotaging the understanding of our militants, especially the younger militants because in the midst of such a number of events the most important ideas that we wanted to demonstrate were lost. We showed them so exhaustively that they were lost in that multitude of facts. In the IWL Secretariat, we radically changed the approach and decided to make theses as short and concise as possible, in order to centre the main axes and to allow us to read them with our rank and file members, to discuss the theses with a clear understanding of those centres, those axes. In general, very interesting contributions have been made. I want to point out, for example, the comrades in the United States: Comrade Perez, Comrade Harry, who coincides in some points with Comrade Perez; [the contributions of] the Swedish comrades on the problem of youth and other similar problems; also the contributions of the Brazilian comrades, even if they disagree with the Theses; the comrades of Argentina, where many contributions have been made both in the national and international Internal Bulletins. I also have received — and I have read only the first part—- the document by Comrade Roberto, from Chile, which is very interesting. Today I will rebut it only in its first point and tomorrow in all its points. I have not been able to read the contribution and criticism of the comrades from Mexico because they gave it to me just a while ago. We have also received contributions from Portugal, from a small group of supporters, or friends — I do not know how to name them — that split from us and now they seems to be approaching. Well, there are plenty of observations, for all tastes. There are formal corrections, proposals to modify the wording of some parts… I will not respond to these issues of detail and form. For me, in the cases in which propose, for example, “instead of writing it this way, we should write it in 1 It refers to the “Theses on the World Situation”, Draft Resolution of the International Secretariat of the IWL, 20 October 1984.

    Universality of Jurisdiction Over War Crimes

    California Law Review VOLUME XXXIII JUNE, 1945 NumBm 2 Universality of Jurisdiction Over War Crimes Willard B. Cowles* B ECAUSE of the mobility of troops in the present war and the practice of transferring troops from one front to another, it may well be that units of Gestapo, SS, or other German organizations, which have been charged with committing some of the worst war crimes, may have been moved from one front to another, perhaps as "flying squad- rons". It may also be a fact that many, even hundreds of, members of such groups have now been captured and are prisoners of war in Great Britain or the United States. Such prisoners held by Great Britain may have committed atrocities against Yugoslavs in Yugo- slavia or Greeks in Greece. German prisoners in the custody of the United States may have committed atrocities against Poles in Poland before the United States became a belligerent. Furthermore, for rea- sons not obvious, but none the less real, it may be that some countries will not wish to punish certain war criminals or that they would prefer that some such individuals be punished by other States. Again, the custodian State may wish to punish an offender itself rather than turn him over to another government even though a request for rendition has been made. Because of notions of territorial jurisdiction, it is thought by some persons that, although a State may punish war criminals for offenses committed against its own armed forces during the military opera- tions, it may not punish an offender when the victim of a criminal act was not a member of its forces, if the crime was committed in a place over which, at the time of the act, the punishing State did not have *Lt.

    MILITARY INTELLIGENCE PB 34-09-2 Volume 35 Number 2 April - June 2009

    MIPB April - June 2009 PB 34-O9-2 Operations in OEF Afghanistan FROM THE EDITOR In this issue, three articles offer perspectives on operations in Afghanistan. Captain Nenchek dis- cusses the philosophy of the evolving insurgent “syndicates,” who are working together to resist the changes and ideas the Coalition Forces bring to Afghanistan. Captain Beall relates his experiences in employing Human Intelligence Collection Teams at the company level in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Lieutenant Colonel Lawson provides a look into the balancing act U.S. Army chaplains as non-com- batants in Afghanistan are involved in with regards to Information Operations. Colonel Reyes discusses his experiences as the MNF-I C2 CIOC Chief, detailing the problems and solutions to streamlining the intelligence effort. First Lieutenant Winwood relates her experiences in integrating intelligence support into psychological operations. From a doctrinal standpoint, Lieutenant Colonels McDonough and Conway review the evolution of priority intelligence requirements from a combined operations/intelligence view. Mr. Jack Kem dis- cusses the constructs of assessment during operations–measures of effectiveness and measures of per- formance, common discussion threads in several articles in this issue. George Van Otten sheds light on a little known issue on our southern border, that of the illegal im- migration and smuggling activities which use the Tohono O’odham Reservation as a corridor and offers some solutions for combined agency involvement and training to stem the flow. Included in this issue is nomination information for the CSM Doug Russell Award as well as a biogra- phy of the 2009 winner.

La puesta en práctica de acciones armadas por parte de este grupo generó un proceso de discusión y debate que, recientemente, se trajo a colación a raíz de una serie de nuevos insumos documentales. Es objetivo de este artículo analizar este hecho a la luz de estas flamantes herramientas de discusión. Palabras Claves Lucha armada - Trotskismo - Movimiento campesino - Guevarismo Abstract At the beginning of the sixties, the Trotskyist Argentine organization Palabra Obrera (Working Word) decided to send three militants to Peru with the aim of construction and of political insertion in a context of important social convulsion, principally from the capture of land and the rural unionization in the region of the Cuzco. The implementation of armed actions by this group generated a process of discussion and debate that, recently, was brought to collation immediately after a series of new documentary inputs. It is the aim of this article to analyze this fact in the light of these brand new discussion tools.

As my advisor and the chair of my dissertation committee, Nelson Lichtenstein has ushered the project through every stage of its development, from conceptualization to defense. I pitched the idea of writing a seminar paper on Andre Gunder Frank in his office roughly four years ago, and since then he has enthusiastically supported my efforts, encouraged me to stay focused on the end goal, and provided detailed feedback on multiple drafts. That is not to say that I have always incorporated all his comments/criticisms, but when I have failed to do so it is mostly out of lack of time, resources, or self-discipline. I will continue to draw from a store of Nelson’s comments as a blueprint as I revise the manuscript for eventual publication as a monograph. Alice O’Connor, Mary Furner, and Salim Yaqub also read and commented on the manuscript, and more broadly influenced my intellectual trajectory. Salim helped me present my work at numerous conferences, which in turn helped me think through how the project fit in the frame of Cold War historiography.
