You know, when I read stuff like this I wonder why we continue with the farce of international law. There’s no such thing. In Urdu there’s a saying - “jis ki laati, uss ki bhains” (i.e. the one who holds the stick owns the cow). Might makes right, and all that. Other than weak inconsequential bleatings from Karzai, nothing will be done to bring to account those responsible.
