- Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke about the need to always respect the rule of law during international relations and when combatting terrorism. Clinton was speaking at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York on September 9, 2011. Video by Ted Shaffrey.
“We will stay true to our values and respect the rule of law including international law principles guiding the use of force in self defense, respect for the sovereignty of other states, and the laws of armed conflict. When we capture al-Qaida members we detain humanely and consistent with international standards. When we do strike, we seek to protect innocent civilians from harm, terrorists of course do exactly the opposite."
