W. Hays Parks (right), special assistant to the Judge Advocate General of the Army, responds to a reporters question concerning the distinction as to what constitutes a military uniform in combat. Iraqi troops have been described as being in violation of the rules of war by shedding their uniforms and attacking coalition forces while wearing civilian clothing. Joining Parks at the lectern is Ambassador Pierre-Richard Prosper, U.S. ambassador for war crimes issues. The two subject matter experts briefed Pentagon reporters, April 7, 2003, on various issues relating to the Geneva Convention, the laws of war, the handling of prisoners of war, and war crimes.
