I'm not naive. I know fully well that governments don't care when it's about "national security". Just look at what NSA, CIA are doing in the name of anti-terrorism. But it doesn't change the fact that it is unlawful. The government can't turn on or turn off the law as it desires. Only, nobody is going to put them to trial. It's like in a dictatorship. There in theory the law is also above the government. Only nobody's in a position to enforce this.
Oh, and the death penalty isn't "government sanctioned". It is sanctioned by the law. The government alone can't make laws.
And where do you know that they had no true peace agreement? Where was that stated?
