INDAGINI E QUESTIONI LEGALI (vedi anche Dioxin) Le risposte delle compagnie accusate: n a 27,878-word defence brief made public on February 6, the chemical companies put up a long list of arguments seeking to wash their hands of any responsibility. These include: * The claim that international law did not bar the US military from using Agent Orange or other herbicides during wartime. * The claim that under US federal law, the government's contractors cannot be held responsible for the government's decision to deploy “the instruments of war”. * Claiming that under the 1995 US-Vietnam agreement to normalise relations and end US trade embargo against Vietnam there were no provisions for reparations or restitution to settle claims arising out of the US military's use of Agent Orange or other herbicides. * Claiming that the US “has never agreed that it has either a moral or a legal duty to provide funds or assistance to remedy for harm allegedly caused by Agent Orange” and the current law suit is a backdoor way to seek reparation and should be rejected. * Arguing that military use of herbicides is still not prohibited under the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993, “even if the (secondary) effect of such use were the killing or harming of people”. * Claiming that international law governing the conduct of war has never extended liability to corporate entities. Instead, “states are the principal subjects of international law”.

- The claim that under US federal law, the government's contractors cannot be held responsible for the government's decision to deploy “the instruments of war”.
- Claiming that under the 1995 US-Vietnam agreement to normalise relations and end US trade embargo against Vietnam there were no provisions for reparations or restitution to settle claims arising out of the US military's use of Agent Orange or other herbicides.
