We would be stupid to hand her over to a regime that is totally arbitary in implementing its laws. I again remind of the assassination of the Dutch woman just days ago.

No, I do not see at all that obligation you claim. That wopuld be like handing over Jews to the Nazis, because the Third Reich had according laws.

In both cases it is totally unacceptable.

Juristic rules of a legal system basing on injustice, are evil, injust juristic rules. Injutrsice remains injustice, no matter whether legitimated by laws or not. Laws can be explicity tailored to be injust, and to protect the interests of those abusing them. When we rate bureaucracy as ranking higher than basic ethical imperatives and moral values defending human dignity, human rights, human freedoms, than we in fact declare unethical behavior and imorality not only as acceptable, but as a collective duty. And then we are not any different from the fascist regimes of the past indeed.
