Polish media suggested that US Army soldiers would be outside the scope of Polish law

42

The Polish media reported that the American servicemen deployed in Poland during the withdrawal from Germany will be in the country "outside the framework of Polish law." The Onet edition came out with material stating that Polish jurisdiction will not be valid for all American military personnel in Poland. In other words, the US military is free to do whatever they want, as long as it somehow complies with US law.

This publication caused a reaction in the Polish Ministry of Defense. Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said that the reporters "distorted the real facts."
Blashchak:



Information about the principles of the deployment of American troops in Poland does not correspond to reality.

At the same time, the minister did not provide any documents that would unequivocally regulate the jurisdiction of the US Army personnel on Polish territory.

Against this background, the statement of the American ambassador to Poland is being discussed, which (statement) reads as follows:

Good news! The United States and Poland have completed negotiations on a Joint Declaration on Defense Cooperation (EDCA), which will embody the common vision of our presidents on the foundations of a US military presence in Poland.

Good for whom? For Poland or for the USA?

In Poland itself, this document has not yet been published.

To understand the essence of the "jurisdiction" of American troops in Poland, it is enough to look at examples from the Baltic countries. There, the soldiers of the US Army clearly allow themselves more than is allowed by local laws, up to the beating of local residents during drunken clashes. But at the same time, representatives of the American military contingent do not bear any serious punishments.

          The Americans, in principle, do not place their bases without an agreement on the immunity of their servicemen before the national laws of the host countries - they will also consult with the Bantustans!

        Reporters are telling the truth, and Polish Foreign Minister Blaszczak is lying to the people like Goebbels.

        Soldiers of the US Army will definitely be in Poland outside the framework of Polish law - just like they are in all countries of their stay, not only in the Baltic States, but also in Japan, etc. And at the expense of the host country.

      Only when these "defenders" are swept aside into a hospital bed, as it was in Ventspils, then the hi is raised to heaven!
      Then the mayor of the city, Lembergs, stood up for the guys. Having provided the command with video recordings of the piggy behavior of subordinates. For some time Ventspils was excluded from the cities where the exercises were held.
      Lithuanians do not melt away either. The local contingent receives people on a permanent basis, despite the rotation.

    This is not entirely true, or rather, not at all true. Indeed, ALL US Army soldiers do not fall under the jurisdiction of the state in which they are located. Those. they can be detained by local law enforcement agencies, but then immediately placed under the custody of the military police.

    In case of serious offenses, the military is either sent home, out of harm's way, or, for example, can be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan with a cut in privileges. Dishonourably discharged dismissal from the military is also possible, without any pension or benefits.

    There were cases, for example in Okinawa, when a rapist or a murderer was justified so as not to "stain the uniform" of the gallant occupants.

        well, the Americans are like "Caesar's wife" ...
        According to Sones, an investigation into the tragic incident was carried out in America, a trial was held over Hatfield, however, the jury did not find him guilty, as, in their opinion, the amount of information in this case and evidence is insufficient. At the same time, Zachary Hatfield is not currently in the ranks of the US Army, Sones said.

      It's just that the authorities of the states in which the US military personnel are located do not have the opportunity to contradict the US government. As they say, a slave has no right to vote.

      Usually, when military personnel are stationed at foreign military bases, diplomatic immunity is extended to them. Almost everyone uses this measure. For example, our troops in Syria are also protected by diplomatic immunity. Why this is a discovery for the Poles is not clear. Apparently they are not sharpened in these topics. From VIKI - "..... On August 26, 2015, Russia and Syria signed an Agreement on the deployment of an aviation group of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on Syrian territory, according to which the air group, at the request of the Syrian government, is deployed on the territory Syrian Arab Republic indefinitely, the Khmeimim airfield is transferred to the Russian side free of charge. All weapons, ammunition, equipment and materials are imported into Syria without fees, duties and any inspection. The personnel of the air group receives diplomatic status ..... "

        Probably, the Russian Federation has agreed with the SAR, but Kurare's colleague is right: the Americans, when placing theirs, “offer” the receiving party to sign an agreement, which stipulates the withdrawal of the American military from local jurisdiction, that in Japan, the Baltic states, we are looking for a ton of examples ...... And this is not a diplomatic status - it is precisely not a punishment for criminal acts under local laws.

To make it easier to read, type the Baltic delfi, an interview with the mayor of Ventspils - it is difficult to accuse him of Russophilia, and there you will find a mention of the agreement.

        Diplomatic status and immunity from local laws are two different things. Read what diplomatic status is. This is, in the presence of DS, it is punishable -

        DS or Dip. immunity is the ability to have the inviolability of political activity, property and the subject himself. If a "diplomat", for example, is caught at the scene of a crime, in such cases immunity does not work, but the country's constitution works.

          Diplomatic immunity (from the Latin immunitas "independence; non-commitment") is the removal of its beneficiary (carrier) from the jurisdiction of the host state.

      If they pay, the Poles will not mind. When the Ukrainian fascists guarding the prisoners in Auschwitz left the "zone" to rest, the Polish men of the surrounding villages drove their wives and daughters to them, because the guards paid for "love" with gold teeth torn from prisoners. This is normal for Poles wassat
