Well now. Here's a case for the International Criminal Court. Did Columbia make the mistake of signing on?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.
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.
