Wokondedwa Chancellor Merkel:
Pa May 27th Khothi la Germany ku Cologne lidzamva umboni wochokera kwa Faisal bin Ali Jaber, katswiri wa zachilengedwe wochokera ku Yemen yemwe adataya achibale ake awiri pa 2012 US Drone . Aka ndi koyamba kuti khothi m'dziko lomwe limapereka thandizo lalikulu lankhondo/akatswiri pa pulogalamu ya ndege za ku United States kulola kuti mlandu woterewu umvedwe.
Kumenyedwa kwa ndege za US kupha kapena kuvulaza masauzande masauzande ambiri m'maiko ambiri omwe US sikumenya nawo nkhondo. Unyinji wa ozunzidwa ndi ndege za drone akhala osalakwa, kuphatikizapo ana ambiri. Kafukufuku wina wolemekezeka anapeza kuti pa munthu aliyense amene waphedwa kapena kumenya nkhondo yodziwika bwino, “anthu osadziwika” 28 nawonso anaphedwa. Chifukwa ozunzidwawo anali/si nzika zaku US, mabanja awo alibe mwayi woti aimbe milandu m'makhothi aku US. Chochititsa manyazi n’chakuti, mabanja a ozunzidwawa alibe njira iliyonse yovomerezeka yalamulo.
Motero mlandu wa Bambo bin Ali Jaber, woimira banja lawo m’khoti la ku Germany, ndi wosangalatsa kwambiri kwa anthu ambiri amene kwa nthawi yaitali akhala akukhumudwa ndi kuphwanya kwa boma la United States pa nkhani ya ufulu wachibadwidwe komanso malamulo a mayiko pankhondo imene imatchedwa “nkhondo yolimbana ndi uchigawenga. ” Akuti, Bambo bin Ali Jaber adzanena kuti Boma la Germany laphwanya malamulo a Germany polola US kugwiritsa ntchito Ramstein Air Base ku Germany chifukwa cha kupha anthu "omwe akufuna" ku Yemen. Akuyembekezeka kupempha kuti boma la Germany "litenge udindo walamulo ndi ndale pankhondo ya US drone ku Yemen" komanso "kuletsa kugwiritsa ntchito Satellite Relay Station ku Ramstein."
Umboni wodalirika wafalitsidwa kale wosonyeza kuti US Satellite Relay Station ku Ramstein imagwira ntchito yofunika kwambiri pa ONSE za US drone ku Middle East, Africa, ndi Southwest Asia. Kupha ndi kulemala chifukwa cha mizinga yothamangitsidwa kuchokera ku ma drones aku US sizikanatheka popanda mgwirizano wa boma la Germany polola US kugwiritsa ntchito Ramstein Air Base pankhondo zosaloledwa za drone - gulu lankhondo lomwe, tikuwonetsa mwaulemu, ndi anachronism a zaka makumi asanu ndi awiri pambuyo pa kumasulidwa kwa Germany ndi Ulaya ku chipani cha Nazi.
Mosasamala kanthu za zotsatira zomaliza m'khoti pa mlandu wa Bambo bin Ali Jaber, womwe ukhoza kupitilira kwa zaka zambiri, tsopano ndi nthawi yoti Germany achitepo kanthu kuti aletse US kugwiritsa ntchito Ramstein Air Base pomenyana ndi ma drone.
Chowonadi ndi ichi: Malo ankhondo ku Ramstein ali pansi pa ulamuliro wa Federal Zowona zenizeni ndi izi: Malo ankhondo ku Ramstein ali pansi pa ulamuliro wa Federal Government of Germany, ngakhale kuti US Air Force wakhala. amaloledwa kugwiritsa ntchito maziko. Ngati zochitika zosaloledwa monga kupha munthu mopanda chilungamo zachitika kuchokera ku Ramstein kapena mabungwe ena a US ku Germany - ndipo ngati akuluakulu a US sasiya kuphwanya malamulowa, tikukulangizani mwaulemu kuti inu ndi boma lanu muli ndi udindo pansi pa malamulo apadziko lonse kuti muchitepo kanthu. Izi zikufotokozedwa momveka bwino mu Nuremberg Trials Federal Rules Decisions of 1946-47 (6 FRD60), zomwe zinatengedwa kukhala malamulo a US. Chifukwa chake, munthu aliyense amene akutenga nawo gawo pakukhazikitsa mlandu wankhondo ndi omwe ali ndi mlandu womwewo, kuphatikiza amalonda, andale ndi ena omwe amathandizira kuti achite zachiwembu.
Mu 1991 Federal Republic of Germany yogwirizananso inapatsidwa “ulamuliro wonse kunyumba ndi kunja” kudzera pa Pangano la Two-plus-Four-Trety. Panganoli likugogomezera kuti "padzakhala ntchito zamtendere zokha kuchokera kudera la Germany" monga momwe Article 26 ya Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany imanena kuti zochita zokonzekera nkhondo yachiwembu zimawonedwa ngati "zosagwirizana ndi malamulo" komanso " mlandu.” Ambiri ku US komanso padziko lonse lapansi akuyembekeza kuti anthu aku Germany ndi boma lawo apereka utsogoleri wofunikira padziko lonse lapansi m'malo mwamtendere komanso ufulu wachibadwidwe.
Boma la Germany nthawi zambiri likunena kuti silidziwa zomwe zikuchitika ku Ramstein Air Base kapena mabungwe ena aku US ku Germany. Tikuvomereza mwaulemu kuti ngati zili choncho, inu ndi Boma la Germany mungakhale ndi udindo wofuna kuwonekera poyera ndi kuyankha kuchokera kwa asitikali ankhondo aku US ku Germany. Ngati panopa Mgwirizano wa Mgwirizano wa Mphamvu (SOFA) pakati pa US ndi Germany imalepheretsa kuwonekera ndi kuyankha zomwe Boma la Germany likufunikira kuti likhazikitse malamulo a Germany ndi mayiko, ndiye Boma la Germany liyenera kupempha kuti US ipange zosintha zoyenera mu SOFA. Monga mukudziwa, Germany ndi US aliyense ali ndi ufulu wothetsa SOFA pokhapokha atapereka chidziwitso kwa zaka ziwiri. Ambiri ku US sangatsutsane koma angavomereze kukambirananso kwa SOFA pakati pa US ndi Germany ngati izi ziyenera kubwezeretsedwanso kukhazikitsidwa kwa malamulo.
Kutha kwa nkhondo mu 1945 zaka makumi asanu ndi awiri zapitazo dziko lapansi lidayang'anizana ndi ntchito yobwezeretsa ndi kupititsa patsogolo malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi. Izi zinayambitsa kuyesetsa kufotokozera ndi kulanga milandu ya nkhondo - zoyesayesa zazikulu monga Khoti la Nuremberg ndi kukhazikitsidwa kwa United Nations, yomwe mu 1948 inalengeza Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Ngakhale kuti Germany idayesetsa kutsatira mfundo za Declaration, US mochulukira m'zaka zaposachedwa idanyalanyaza mfundozi. Kuphatikiza apo, US ikufuna kukokera NATO ndi ogwirizana nawo kuti achite nawo kuphwanya mfundozi.
US inayamba pulogalamu ya drone mwachinsinsi ku 2001 ndipo sanaululire kwa anthu a ku America kapena kwa ambiri mwa oimira awo ku Congress; Pulogalamu ya drone inayamba kupezedwa ndikuwululidwa ndi omenyera mtendere a US ku 2008. Anthu a ku Britain sanadziwitsidwe pamene United Kingdom ku 2007 inapeza drones yakupha kuchokera ku US ndi oimba mluzu, za udindo waukulu wa Ramstein mu pulogalamu ya US drone yosaloledwa.
Tsopano podziwa za udindo wa Ramstein popeputsa ufulu wachibadwidwe ndi malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi, nzika zambiri zaku Germany zikukupemphani inu ndi boma la Germany kuti mukhazikitse malamulo ku Germany, kuphatikizanso ku US. Ndipo chifukwa cha gawo lofunikira la Ramstein pazomenyera zonse za US drones, boma la Germany tsopano lili m'manja mwake mphamvu zoletsa kupha anthu osaloledwa ndi drone aku US.
Boma la Germany likadachitapo kanthu pankhaniyi, dziko la Germany likanapezadi chichirikizo pakati pa mayiko a padziko lonse, kuphatikizapo mayiko a ku Ulaya. The Nyumba Yamalamulo ku Europe mu Chisankho chake Chokhudza Kugwiritsa Ntchito Ma Drone Ankhondo, lomwe linavomerezedwa ndi mavoti opambanitsa a anthu 534 pa 49 pa February 27, 2014, linalimbikitsa mayiko amene ali m’bungweli kuti “azitsutsa ndi kuletsa mchitidwe wa kuphana mwachisawawa” ndiponso “kusamapha anthu mopanda lamulo kapena kuchititsa kuti mayiko ena aphedwe mwachisawawa.” Bungwe la European Parliament Resolution linanenanso kuti mayiko omwe ali mamembala ayenera "kudzipereka kuwonetsetsa kuti, ngati pali zifukwa zomveka zokhulupirira kuti munthu kapena bungwe lomwe liri m'manja mwawo lingakhale lokhudzana ndi kuphana kosaloledwa ndi boma kunja kwa dziko, ndondomeko zimatengedwa molingana ndi zomwe zili m'nyumba zawo komanso udindo walamulo.”
Kupha anthu mopanda chiwembu - kupha 'okayikira' - ndikuphwanya koopsa kwa Constitution ya US. Ndipo kuyambika kwa US ndikuyimba milandu yakupha ndi nkhondo m'maiko odziyimira okha omwe sawopseza dziko la US akuphwanya mapangano apadziko lonse omwe US adasaina ndipo Congress idavomereza, kuphatikiza Charter ya United Nations.
Anthu zikwizikwi aku America akhala akuvutika pachabe kwa zaka zambiri kuti awulule ndikuthetsa pulogalamu ya drone yaku US ndi zigawenga zina zankhondo zaku US zomwe zapangitsa kuti kuchuluke kudana ndi US ndi ogwirizana nawo pakati pa anthu omwe akuwaganizira komanso achiwembu. Monga kutsekeredwa m'ndende popanda chifukwa ku Guantanamo, nkhondo za drone zasokoneza momveka bwino lamulo lapadziko lonse la WWII lomwe tonse timadalira.
Tikukhulupirira kuti ogwirizana nawo akuluakulu aku US - makamaka Germany, chifukwa cha gawo lofunika kwambiri lomwe likuchita - achitapo kanthu kuti athetse kuphana kwa drone. Tikukupemphani kuti muchitepo kanthu kuti muyimitse zochitika zonse ku Germany zomwe zimathandizira nkhondo za drone ndi kuphana ndi boma la US.
