The Code of the U.S. Fighting Force is a code of conduct that is an ethics guide and a United States Department of Defense directive consisting of six articles to members of the United States Armed Forces, addressing how they should act in combat when they must evade capture, resist while a prisoner or escape from the enemy.
 It is considered an important part of U.S. military doctrine and tradition, but is not formal military law in the manner of the Uniform Code of Military Justice or public international law, such as the Geneva Conventions.
Philip B. Heymann (born October 30, 1932 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American lawyer, federal prosecutor, legal scholar and law professor who headed the Criminal Division of the Justice Department as Assistant Attorney General during the Carter administration and was briefly Deputy Attorney General in the Clinton administration before he resigned over management and policy differences as well as perceived interference by the White House.
 He has been involved internationally in supporting the rule of law in criminal justice systems.
 In domestic politics he has been a vocal supporter of civil and political liberties and, as such, has been actively critical of the George W. Bush administration, particularly its warrantless domestic spying program.
 Even before the September 11 attacks, Heymann has studied and published on how prosecution of antiterror policies can be done consistent with the rule of law in a democratic society.
 He is currently James Bar Ames Professor of Law, Emeritus at Harvard Law School, where he has taught (with interruptions for government service) since 1969.
Colombia–United States relations are the bilateral relations between the Republic of Colombia and the United States of America.
 The relationship between the two states evolved from mutual cordiality during most of the 19th and early 20th centuries to a recent partnership that links the governments of both nations around several key issues; this includes fighting communism, the War on Drugs, and the threat of terrorism due to the September 11 attacks in 2001.
 During the last fifty years, different American governments and their representatives have become involved in Colombian affairs through the implementation of policies concerned with the issues already stated.
 Some critics of current US policies in Colombia, such as Law Professor John Barry, claim that US influences have catalyzed internal conflicts and substantially expanded the scope and nature of human rights abuses in Colombia.
 Supporters, such as Under Secretary of State Marc Grossman, defend the idea that the United States has promoted respect for human rights and the rule of law in Colombia; in addition, adding to the fight against drugs and terrorism.
The "fag bomb" was a U.S. military fighter-mounted bomb (a GBU-31 JDAM), photographed aboard the aircraft carrier USS "Enterprise" in October 2001 during the United States' invasion of Afghanistan while in the Arabian Sea.
 On October 11, while being readied to an F-18 Hornet for deployment in an air mission above Afghanistan, the bomb was defaced with a graffito (a "message" to the bomb's targets) by an unidentified U.S. Navy sailor with the message "HIGH JACK THIS FAGS."
 The term "HIGH JACK" referred to the September 11 attacks one month prior, which utilized hijacked passenger airlines.
 The September 11 attacks led to the military action against Afghanistan.
The War on Terror is the campaign launched by the United States of America in response to the September 11 attacks against organizations designated with terrorism.
 The campaign, whose stated objective was eliminating international terrorism, began in 2001.
 The following is a timeline of events linked to the War on Terror.
Richard Reeve Baxter (14 February 1921 – 25 September 1980) was a widely published American jurist and from 1950 until his death the preeminent figure on the law of war.
 Baxter served as a judge on the International Court of Justice (1979–1980), as a professor of law at Harvard University (1954 - 1979) and as an enlisted man and officer in the U.S. Army (1942–46,1948–54).
 He is noted for consistently favoring moves that enhanced the protections afforded to those injured or threatened by armed conflict.
 Baxter authored the 1956 revision of the " U.S. Army Manual on the Law of Land Warfare " (FM27-10 ) and was a leading representative of the U.S. at the Geneva conferences that concluded the Protocols to the Geneva Conventions on the Laws of War.
 Baxter also, at the time of his death, was the preeminent scholar on the law of international waterways.
 He died of cancer one year into his term as a judge of the International Court of Justice.
John Choon Yoo (born July 10, 1967) is a Korean-American attorney, law professor, and author.
 Yoo is currently the Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley.
 Previously, he served as a political appointee, the Deputy Assistant U.S. Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel, Department of Justice (OLC), during the George W. Bush administration.
 He is best known for his opinions concerning the Geneva Conventions that attempted to legitimize the War on Terror by the United States.
 He also authored the so-called Torture Memos, which concerned the use of what the Central Intelligence Agency called enhanced interrogation techniques including waterboarding.
The War on Terror (WoT), also known as the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), is a metaphor of war referring to the international military campaign that was launched by the U.S. government after the September 11 attacks in the U.S. in 2001.
<ref name="Schmitt/slogan"> </ref> U.S. president George W. Bush first used the term ""war on terrorism"" on 16 September 2001, and then ""war on terror"" a few days later in a formal speech to Congress.
 In the latter speech, George Bush stated, "Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists and every government that supports them."
 The term was originally used with a particular focus on countries associated with al-Qaeda.
 The term was immediately criticised by such people as Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and more nuanced ones subsequently came to be used by the Bush administration to publicly define the international campaign led by the U.S.; it was never used as a formal designation of U.S. operations in internal government documentation.
Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, 548 U.S. 557 (2006) , is a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that military commissions set up by the Bush administration to try detainees at Guantanamo Bay lack "the power to proceed because its structures and procedures violate both the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the four Geneva Conventions signed in 1949."
 Specifically, the ruling says that Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions was violated.
The War Crimes Act of 1996 is a law that defines a war crime to include a "grave breach of the Geneva Conventions", specifically noting that "grave breach" should have the meaning defined in any convention (related to the laws of war) to which the United States is a party.
 The definition of "grave breach" in some of the Geneva Conventions have text that extend additional protections, but all the Conventions share the following text in common: "... committed against persons or property protected by the Convention: willful killing, torture or inhuman treatment, including biological experiments, willfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health."
