Subject: RE: BS: 'Taliban flee Afghan jail'
I agree it doesn't matter whether the government was recognised or not. I have not argued that point at all.
So let's look at Article 4 (not 3) item #3: regular armed forces?
I think it is at least doubtful whether this applies to Al Qaeda
item #6: 'inhabitants' seems to me in question here.
It could be seen differently after all by some jurists knowing about international law, but 'no question' seems to me overly optimistic.
