Argentina is considering charging Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman with war crimes if he shows up to the G20 summit in Buenos Aires this week.

Advocacy group Human Rights Watch (HRW) wrote to a federal prosecutor arguing that the Argentinian courts should prosecute him under Argentinian law.

Specifically HRW asked that he be charged for mass civilian casualties caused by the Saudi-led coalition’s campaign in Yemen, and for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul last month.

It is unlikely they will be able to arrest him but forcing him to bring in extra protection, or perhaps sending someone else in his place is a victory, a small one but still a victory.

w o w... I imagine MBS is just shaking in his boots right now.

This is a political stunt. like most international maneuvering.

This is coming from a guy who hates the House of Saud. But this is a bit double standard. Has anyone declared they are going to charge anyone in the Chinese security services over not only the "disappearance" of the former UN bureaucrat, but for the massive number of people locked into "reeducation facilities." It has been crickets.

There are three major reasons that the Jamal Khashoggi murder became high profile. Turkey, Iran, and dissenting parties in Saudi Arabia. all parties involved want to overthrow the status quo in the region. A status quo maintained by the the Saudis.

Eh... that's enough haranguing, right?

On your "wow" post. Of course it is junk news, designed to amuse and confuse, and some might get really excited about it. There have be many key people in various countries that have committed worse than this guy and they are walking free. There is no justice for the little guy and as long as he is Trump's best bud, second to Putin maybe, nothing will happen to him, at least not official stuff anyway.

It is a pity the world does not have an entity with the authority and the ability to bring guys like this, and of course war criminals in general to justice, Nuremberg style.

I actually would love a leftie mob scream at the top of their lungs at him..like "We believe the Turks" or something. But of course they won't. Because they are cowards. They feel big and righteous when they can scream at a family man, or Sarah sanders, or some poor individual they decided to come down on that day. .you know how they do. .in their twitter righteousness "I saw xyz at place abc" "say what!? That pig dares to go outside? " "let's show him /her how Maxine waters and Hillary Clinton do it" "f yeah! " (amped up on some Alanis Morissette song) ;))) these people. ..I so wish they try. .so wish. ..
