Corporations who fund or buy from these armed illegal groups should be held accountable, perhaps even a symbolic case for $1 could be registered against them in western international courts.Websurfer2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-46384027990227258672010-11-08T08:12:57.531-08:002010-11-08T08:12:57.531-08:00That's interesting.
