戰爭罪行,危害人類罪: 查爾斯·泰勒被判罪名成立 / War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity: Charles Taylor Found Guilty

戰爭衝突是人類歷史起落的主要里程碑,幾乎世界每一個角落都逃不過戰禍鐵蹄的蹂躪。

或許,有灰色人生論者会說:『人之初,性本惡』,好勇鬥狠是動物生存的原始本能,如達爾文【進化論】辨證:『適者生存,不適者被淘汰』。

但是,把人類貶為「衣冠禽獸」,卻似乎是一筆勾消了您我「萬物之靈」数千年的文化成果。

無可否認,人類歷史記錄了無數血跡斑斑的戰爭禍亂,局部或漫燃的內戰、外戰、熱戰、冷戰赤裸裸地暴露了原始人性的暴戾,兇惡,殘忍。

不過,在烽煙戰火之中,我們仍然是希望找到和平,找到雙邊或多邊的國際團體來組織、領導、談判、和解、及懲治戰爭和危害人類罪犯。

故此,國際戰爭罪行法庭在上星期4月26日,就有關賴比瑞亞軍閥查爾斯·泰勒被判罪名成立的宣佈,實在是令人鼓舞,令人感到: 天網恢恢,疏而不漏。

維護正義和平是人類歷史進化的主要里程碑,也就是衣冠与禽獸一鏡兩面的分別。
