Betancourt rescuer wore Red Cross

Misuse of the symbol undermines Red Cross neutrality

Colombia's president has confimed (sic) that a Red Cross symbol was worn by a member of the military rescue mission that freed 15 hostages from Farc rebels.

Alvaro Uribe said he had apologised to the Red Cross for the error, made by a nervous soldier acting against orders.

Misuse of the Red Cross emblem is considered a violation of the Geneva Conventions and international law.
Well now. Here's a case for the International Criminal Court. Did Columbia make the mistake of signing on?

All you criminals out there: make sure you demand that anyone you meet wears a Red Cross symbol. That way you will know they are not with law enforcement.
