If you want it in black and white, then I'm only too prepared to give it to you: absolutely. You're either with the law or you're not with the law. If you wish to fiddle with the law and say, well, we're going to go a bit this way and we're going to go a bit this way, then fine. But in the process of what we are looking for, you're either guilty or you're not. You're either a child soldier or you're not.
If you like, you can use the extreme scenarios under which I'm articulating my position, which is that you are not allowed to go against those conventions, and if you do, you're going down the same road as those who absolutely don't believe them at all.
