My Lai Immunity Question Tests Geneva Conventions
The Justice Department may have violated the Geneva Conventions by granting immunity to Paul Meadle to testify in the My Lai trial of Lt. William Calley. If the U.S. cannot prosecute Meadle and other ex soldiers, it could breach treaties. The conventions obligate prosecution for grave breaches and probe whether later soldiers fall under civilian or POW protections.
