If we come into contact with aliens (e.g. aliens invading Earth), would there be any laws for protecting the rights and dignity of said aliens? (endlesstalk.org)

I'd kill an alien if he stepped on my property

Look here little human, I'll put my alien feet on your front yard and then leave on my flying saucer and there's nothing you can do about it

I've seen enough movies to know that all I need is to sneeze, use a super soaker full of watered down Head and Shoulders, or punch them in the face and quip to beat almost any alien.

We're talking about scifi right? Right??

As you reach for your weapon, the alien swipes a gesture with its "hand" and you disintegrate into one trillion pieces, along with every creature within three genetic generations of yourself. The alien doesn't care or acknowledge the tremendous pain you feel as every part of your body separates into its base pieces, leaving the nerves intact until last, and continues to walk through your property completely invulnerable to any terrestrial weapon. The next human treats the alien with respect, as interpreted by ten layers of behavior/language/social analysis contraptions and the two of them have a pleasant chat around the fireplace, sharing eachothothers culture. Nice.
