Is Canada violating the law in Afghanistan?

The Canadian troops should immediately withdraw from the Afghanistan was as they could be charged for war crimes. Indeed, they have been using an aggressive role that could put them at risk of important criminal charges. Therefore, different experts in that domain have accused the Canadian troops of illegal forms of torture. These forms of harassment have sometimes led to death of innocent people as well as prisoners. In fact, some deaths of innocent civilians were caused by several bombings and other types of use of force from the Canadian and American troops. As it is said in this text, no international law or policy agrees and legalizes theses attacks. Neither The Charter, The Geneva Conventions nor other laws ever mentioned the Canadian right to use those types of military forces. It is time for the Canadian government to reevaluate their implication in the Afghanistan war and make sure their activities are legal as they could be accused of important crimes.
