Taken Questions Office of the Spokesman Washington, DC November 8, 2001 Question Taken November 8, 2001 Daily Press Briefing Meeting under Fourth Geneva Convention
QUESTION: Is the U.S. planning to attend the meeting in Geneva on the applicability of the Fourth Convention to the Occupied Territories? ANSWER: The U.S. has made clear its opposition to the meeting of parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention and will not attend. We believe such a meeting would be counterproductive and has no legal basis under the Convention, which we strongly support. |
