Garzn believes that the death of Bin Laden is not in accordance with international law

Judge Baltasar Garzon has said from New York questioned the legality of the procedure leading to the execution of Osama Bin Laden. "His death is not justified from the point of view of international law," he said, while showing his desire to have questioned the leader of Al Qaeda. It now expects a "legal explanation" about how the action was executed.

"Nobody can be against a terrorist cease to be" discussed. But consider that the best way to vindicate the rule of law is to be arrested and brought to trial. "That's not to say that does not involve the use of force to stop them. What is wrong is that once arrested, and if there is no risk of formation, be killed", he explained the judge.

At this point, as an example the GAL. "If this had happened in Spain, it would open procedure who had given the order and held accountable." Baltasar Garzon no secret that he "expected something different," the Government of Barack Obama in the area of security and the fight against terrorism.

And no judge rejected the detainees at Guantanamo "under the pretext of endangering the country." Garzon would not go to say whether the execution of Bin Laden is in compliance with law in the U.S.. Yes was concerned that "the fiction series like 24 are put into reality." At this point, he recalled that the prison in Cuba is "in limbo", so "everything that comes from there is polluted." "Terrorism is a crime, therefore should be investigated as such by civil authorities," clinched, the judge made the comments at the University of New York before receiving the first International Prize for the Archives of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade (ALBA) Puffin Foundation and pro-human rights, worth $ 100,000.

As Sebastian said Faber, the chairman, "is in recognition of his advocacy of universal justice." Garzon received the prize just a year after his suspension. "Life is full of paradoxes. This is one more. Then I was among friends, and now. That, fortunately, always remains." In the debate preceding the award, Garzon again expressed doubts that let him return to the judiciary.

"It is unlikely to return to my court," he said in a couple of occasions. On research to identify human rights violations during the Civil War, he reiterated: "It is obvious that there was a massive crime against humanity" and its effects "remain." The Spanish judge again denounced the suspension leaves the helpless victims, "because there is a judicial investigation to protect their rights."
