Well, you know as a lawyer that this sort of privilege is the normality
for all military forces. Italy's included.
The soldier of the military expedition in Somalia, in the '90, were
accused of torture and other, but the only tribunal that were allowed to
try them was a military tribunal in Italy. And obviously they were
acquitted.
Anyone allowing a foreign tribunal to have jurisdiction over his
military is better to disband his military.

Even in matters of international law such as the Geneva Convention? I
don't think so. Torture should be banned by international law and all
arms, intelligence agencies, police forces etc should be made to stand
charges in as unbiased a court as possible when there is evidence of
torture. <br>
