Debunking Biased ICC on Gaddafi

SPECIAL REPORT SERIES by Lady Michelle Jennifer Santos – TSR Founder & Publisher and Strategy/Peace Negotiator with the UN Security Council Special Envoy to the Arab Nations

 Beware of the half truth. You may have gotten hold of the wrong half.  Most of the greatest evils that has been inflicted upon humanity have come through people feeling quite certain about something which, in fact, was false.  We are, indeed, in a time of universal deceit and ignorance, where telling the TRUTH is considered a revolutionary act or a crime in itself.

Bridging the colossal chasm between the TRUTH and deception around this issue is daunting. When power shifts into the hands of those with greedy and selfish intentions for it, harm comes to all parties. The difference between careless connection and a relationship of depth lies in the motives of the heart. UNADULTERATED TRUTH is heavy, therefore few care and are able to carry it. This TRUTH came with a price and it is still being paid for with innocent human blood. It killed, injured and bullied 67 of my friends, colleagues and I. It also cost the lives of thousands of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, daughters and sons.

“The leader of the revolution and his son do not hold any official position in the Libyan government and therefore they have no connection to the claims of the ICC against them.This case is nothing but a cover for the military operations of NATO. NATO had declared its intention to assassinate Gaddafi. “
- Mohammed al-Qamoodi (Libyan justice minister)

On June 27, 2011, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants  against Muammar al-Gaddafi, his second eldest son Saif al-Islam and the head of Libyan intelligence, Abdullah al-Senussi. In power since 1969, Gaddafi is only the world’s second serving head of state to be issued with an ICC arrest warrant. Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo accused Gaddafi and his aides of the premeditated killing of opposition and the widespread and systematic use of “extreme and lethal violence”, detention, and torture such as ordering snipers to fire on civilians leaving mosques and against protesters.

The investigation by the court’s chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, followed a referral in February by the UN security council. Resolution 1970 was supported by all members of the council, including Russia and China, who are unhappy with the NATO bombing.

Judge Sanji Mmasenono Monageng announced the decision on behalf of a three-judge panel in The Hague on Monday, saying the warrants were meant to force Gaddafi and his two confidantes to appear before the court, were not proof of guilt and prevent the possibility of a cover-up.

Libya dismissed the move by the ICC, rejecting the authority of the tribunal, saying they were based on “falsified charges” and for very good reasons!

Dear Sirs:

 

RE: AMICUS CURIAR SUBMISSIONS ON BEHALF OF MUAMMAR AL-GADDAFI AND FAMILY

We refer to our letter dated 2 March 2011. We also refer to the international Arrest Warrant issued by the court today and would be obliged if you would confirm that prior to issuing such you duly considered representations made to you.

The basis of the International Criminal Court is to ensure that all leaders are accountable to justice and that nobody can avail themselves to any form of immunity when serious offenses are committed against a population. For these purposes, whilst you have issued an International Arrest Warrant against Colonel Gaddafi and two others, on order that the guiding principles of the International Criminal Court is upheld, we would be grateful if you would explain what actions are being taken against NATO forces attacking civilian population in Libya.

During the first two days of so called UN Intervention, 64 people were killed during the bombardments and a further 150 wounded. In Tripoli alone, 40 civilians died as a result of the early air strikes.

On 1 April, NATO air strikes killed 14 so called rebel fighters

and wounded 7 more at Brega.

On 7 April, NATO bombers killed 15 rebels

and wounded 22 on the outskirts of Brega.

On 27 April, NATO attacked the city of Misrata, killing 12 people

and wounding 5 others.

On 19 June, 9 civilians were killed by a NATO

air strike on Tripoli.

On 20 June, 15 civilians, including 3 children, were killed

by another NATO air strike on Soiman.

On 24 and 25 June, 20 civilians were killed by

NATO air strikes in Brega.

The Libyan Ministry of Health have confirmed that air strikes to date by NATO have killed 3452 civilians but even if you did not accept that figure and accepted even 10% of such, it constitutes exactly the same offenses of which the International Criminal Court accuse Colonel Gaddafi and two others.

As we have stated and we must repeat the intervention in Libya has not been entirely connected to the country’s oil reserves which are conservatively estimated at 60 billion barrels the greatest in Africa and whose extraction is the lowest in the world nor is it necessarily about the 1500 billion cubic metres of natural gas. The intervention in Libya is directly related to the seizure and confiscation, unlawfully of some USD 150 billion that the country had invested abroad.

One of the countries promoting an attack on Libya is Italy. Yet, Libyan investments in Italy are considerable, including 7.5% of Uni Credit Bank, 2% of Finmeccanice, 1% of Eni and 7.5% of Uventus Football Club, all in all those amount to some USD 5.4 billion investments that are now seized and suppressed and it follows that those funds are available to those institutions without any form of control of injunction.

You will also be aware that in 2004 the USA removed Libya from the black list of co called ‘rogue states’ and this act was quickly followed by the EU that lifted the embargo in ensuring that the major oil companies returned to trade in Libya. Each year Libya held and maintained trade surplus of some USD 30 billion.

One fact that has escaped all is that in 2009 Colonel Gaddafi paid some USD 30 billion in surplus oil revenues to the citizens of Libya, the citizens that your court has now accused of some serious offenses. It is interesting to note that the first action that was taken by the USA and the European Union was to seize control not of the oil but of the money.

On 20 January 2011, the Libyan Investment Authority deposited USD 32 billion in US banks and on 28 February only 5 weeks later the US Treasury froze those accounts with the caveat that such monies would be ‘held in trust for the future of Libya’. It however served as a capital injection into the US economy and 4 days later the European Union followed suit by freezing EUR45 billion.

The freezing of such funds has of course had a strong impact in Africa where out of 25 countries, 22 of them were in the sub-Saharan Africa which badly needed such investment,. For example, the first telecommunications satellite Rascom which entered into orbit in August 2010 allowing African countries to use the communication centre outside the reach of the US owned satellites, is in need of constant maintenance which of course now lapses because of the funds held and seized because of the US and EU. More important than such was the money invested into the African Union (1) the African Investment Bank based in Tripoli (2) the African Monetary Fund based in Cameroon (3) the African Central Bank based in Nigeria. The development of those bodies enables African countries to de facto escape the control of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund which classically remain the tools of neo colonial domination and of course marks the end of the CFA Franc, the currency that 14 former French colonies are forced to use by France. Perhaps this explains why President Sarcozy remains keen on leading an intervention and deposing of Colonel Gaddafi.

We have detailed the above in order that the ICC is well aware of the motivation behind the complaint the US/UK/EU leveled in seeking to indict Colonel Gaddafi. Not having succeeded in his murder (as the US did with Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan) their final resort where murder fails is the application of the criminal justice system in offenses that are frankly nothing short of politically and economically oriented for the reasons stated above.

Whilst of course it is the duty of the court to investigate all matters, we ask that the above is properly taken into consideration and that worse offenses have been committed by those who have issued a complaint against the Libyan regime and must also be investigated.
We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours faithfully,

Giovanni Di Strefano

(Chief Attorney to Gaddafi)

THE  I.C.C. (a.k.a. WESTERN SANHEDRIN “TRIAL”) ARREST WARRANTS:

BARRABAS, THE THIEF VERSUS GADDAFI

The International Criminal Court is irretrievably biased due to its Euro-centric and Africa-focused cases it handles, not to mention incompetent Judges. ICC’s claims to international jurisdiction and judicial independence are institutionally flawed and the Court has been marred by blatant double-standards and serious judicial irregularities and blundering in Africa has derailed delicate peace processes – thereby prolonging devastating civil wars.

The Hague-based ICC is increasingly being seen as the European equivalent of the US tribunal at Guantánamo Bay, which similarly claims international jurisdiction.

While the ICC presents itself as an “international” court this is quite simply not the case. Its members represent just over one quarter of the world’s population: China, Russia, the United States, India, Pakistan and Indonesia are just some of the many countries that have remained outside of the Court’s jurisdiction.

The ICC is as just “independent” as the United Nations Security Council and the Court’s European Union funding lets it be. Far from being an independent and impartial court, the ICC’s own statute grants special “prosecutorial” rights of referral and deferral to the Security Council, or more specifically its five permanent members. Political interference in the legal process was thus made part of the Court’s founding terms of reference.

The CICC claims to include, “2,500 civil society organizations in 150 different countries working in partnership to strengthen international cooperation with the ICC; ensure that the Court is fair, effective and independent; make justice both visible and universal; and advance stronger national laws that deliver justice to victims of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.”

“He who pays the piper calls the tune”

Yet, a visit to the Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC) site reveals just who is behind the ICC, who is actively promoting it and networking with the ICC’s various NGO partners, and the fact that all involved boast the same financial and political supporters. The ICC is very much also tied to theEuropean Union which provides over 60 percent of its funding, plus other organizations connected to George Soros, who also instigated the Egyptian Arab Spring.

Major funding has been provided by the European Union, the Ford Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the George Soros’s Open Society Institute, the Sigrid Rausing Trust, and George Soros-funded Humanity United,as well as by the governments of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland, and a number of individual donors.

Humanity United in turn boast partnerships with the globalist co-conspirators of BBC World Service Trust, NED/Open Society/US State Department-funded Benetech, George Soros’ Open Society Institute, and the NED-fundedSolidarity Centerwhich mobilized Egypt’s labor unions just as the US-stoked unrest began to falter. These “generous supporters” are literally the same organizations that have built up the very “civil society organizations” the CICC is “working in partnership” with, and the same disingenuous organizations supplying the fake, contrived ICC with “evidence” to issue its “arrest warrants” with.

REFUTATION TO THE FALSIFIED CHARGES

Let us study the UN SC Resolution 1970 (2011) referred the situation in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.

READ THE UN SC Resolution 1970 (2011) here.

The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya never signed or ratified the international treaty establishing the International Criminal Court, therefore how can such international treaty and the International Criminal Court apply to the Libya? Based on that alone, the ICC has no jurisdiction on the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and that the immunity of the Head of State, provided by the international customary law, applies to Colonel Gaddafi.

_______________________________________

“The ICC ruling (and Arrest Warrants) is a cover for NATO which is still trying to assassinate Gaddafi which functions as a European foreign policy vehicle. It is a political court which serves its European paymasters. The ICC’s claims to international jurisdiction and judicial independence are in any instance questionable, where not simply false. The court’s approach has been marred by obvious double standards and endemic judicial irregularities. The ICC has become the European equivalent of the US tribunal of the Guantanamo Bay.“

- Khaled Kaaim (Deputy Foreign Minister of Libya)

_______________________________________

The referral is invalid because it violates the Jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court in that the UN SC prescribes to the ICC who to prosecute and who not to prosecute when the Resolution prohibited the ICC from prosecuting “nationals, current or former officials or personnel from a State outside the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya which is not party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of that State for alleged acts or omissions arising out or related to operations in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya established or authorized by the Council, unless such exclusive jurisdiction has been expressly waived by the State”. Therefore, the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction, independence and impartiality have been compromised as it has been caused to discriminate against the State of Libya and its people. In so doing, the ICC has acted in a manner that is forbidden by its governing statute.

There is no doubt that in terms of the ICC Statute the UN SC has the power to refer a “situation” to the ICC, however, that does not entitle the UN SC to arrogate themselves powers that they fancy and to even undermine and violate the ICC Statute. In other words, by issuing the warrants of arrest the ICC has complacently misled the world about its penchant to take the law into its own hands as the ICC has no jurisdiction over Libya and the UN SC does not have the competency to grant the ICC ‘powers’ over Libya as the rule of customary international law states that the Rome Treaty cannot apply to States, such as Libya, that are not signatories thereto.

_______________________________________

The ICC investigation was opened in a very short period of time compared to the other situations. In other situations, even much less complicated, the Prosecutor took much more time to decide if to open an investigation or not under at 53, ICC Statute:

Afghanistan, under valuation since 2007;

Georgia, since 2008;
Guinea, since 2009;
Colombia, since 2006;

Regarding the investigations already opened by the ICC Prosecutor,

Congo, took 2 months
Central Africa, 4 months
Uganda, 6 months
Darfur, 3 months

Regarding the situation in Libya, the Prosecutor took 3 days to decide to open an investigation (in such time he had to consider all the information he had, the jurisdiction, the admissibility and the interests of justice). In just 5 days the ICC Prosecutor already indicated the names of the persons under investigation.

The arrest warrant itself is based on ICC’s own “investigation.” The ICC said, “in the course of its investigation, due to unprecedented cooperation from different States and organisations (none of which are currently working in Libya), the Office of the Prosecutor has been able to collect extensive documentation and evidence in a short period of time, through 30 missions to 11 States, and through interviews with a large number of persons, including key insiders and eyewitnesses. ” Such a premise is so recklessly irresponsible, so baseless, and so morally bankrupt, it is easy to see why the African Union has such a difficult time accepting it.

The “evidence” presented by the “Office of the Prosecutor” reveals a retarded scrapbook using all obviously biased Western propaganda version of articles and reports taken from disingenuous organizations funded by the same corporations and foundations that contrived the ICC itself. The entire basis of the “Prosecutor’s” case is built upon reports taken from BBC, Al Jazeera, the London Guardian, New York Times, the US State Department’s Broadcasting Board of Governors-run Voice of America,George Soros funded Human Rights Watch, and the National Endowment for Democracy and Tides Foundation-funded International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), etc, which

NOTE: US State Secretary Hillary Clinton is a board member of Broadcasting Board of Governors!

There IS a Cyber Geopolitical War; 96% world news are all HALF-TRUT.... This is the very reason why Gaddafi and the rest of the poor people of the Middle East and Africa are losing their war on defending their sovereignty.

“Future wars of mass manoeuvre are more likely to be fought through the minds of millions looking at computer and television screens than on some modern equivalent of the Cold War’s North German Plain. Indeed some might argue the screen is our generation’s North German Plain, the place where future war will be won or lost.“

 - Gen. Sir David Richards, One of the NATO Commander in charge of Libya attacks

_______________________________

This is extraordinary given that the referral by the UN SC violates the ICC Statute. This goes to show that the ICC Prosecutor is absolutely not independent. The ICC did not show to be independent and impartial in this matter. For example, one of the judges of the Pre-Trial Chamber I, Mr. Cuno Tarfusser, recently made statements to the Italian media on the situation in Libya which indicated that the ICC is not impartial.

THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT IS A HYPOCRITE AND A FARCE!

Much earlier than the establishment by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court on July 1, 2002, the UN Charter was created “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our life time has brought untold sorrow to mankind.”

Chapter I states:

“To maintain international peace and security, (member states shall respect the) principle of the sovereign equality (of other members), settle their international disputes by peaceful means, (and) refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.”

Since October 1945, UN leadership nor the ICC do anything to deter war, human rights abuses, or other high crimes of powerful member states, notably Western ones and Israel, repeatedly committing crimes of war and against humanity with impunity. In particular, America whose leaders commit the worst of high crimes, has acted lawlessly with impunity, yet no international body or court holds them accountable such as the cases of Yugoslavia/Serbia’s Slobodan Milosevic, Liberia’s Charles Taylor, Sudan’s Omar Hassan al-Bashir, Saddam Hussein (by Washington’s Iraqi Special Tribunal) and others, like Muammar Gaddafi, who now face similar charges.

The ICC has ignored all European or Western human rights abuses in conflicts such as those in Afghanistan and Iraq or human rights abuses by Western client states and even Israel. Instead, the Europeans have chosen to focus the Court exclusively on Africa. Despite over 8,000 complaints about alleged crimes in at least 139 countries, the ICC has started investigations into just five countries, all of them African. Given Africa’s previous traumatic experience with the very same colonial powers that now in effect direct the ICC, this must create an alarming déjà vu for those who live on the continent. The EU is additionally guilty of economic blackmail in tying aid for developing countries to ICC membership.

ICC chief prosecutor Jose Luis Moreno-Ocampo “sought arrest warrants” for Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam, and brother-in-law intelligence chief, Abdullah Al-Sanous, on “charges of orchestrating systematic attacks against civilians (amounting to) crimes against humanity.” He then slanderously calls Saif a“de facto prime minister” and Al-Sanousi the “right-hand man, his executioner,” Moreno-Campo’s announced evidence was alleged intelligence from other governments and “a lot of phone calls from (outside and) inside Libya.”

He continued to claim,

Gaddafi’s “forces attacked Libyan civilians in their homes and in public spaces, shot demonstrators with live ammunition, used heavy weaponry against participants in funeral processions, and placed snipers to kill those leaving mosques after prayers.”

“The (alleged) evidence shows that such persecution is still ongoing as I speak today in the areas under Gaddafi’s control. (His) forces have prepared a list with the names of alleged dissidents, and they are being arrested, put into prisons in Tripoli, tortured and made to disappear.”

PERSONAL REMARK: ALL LIES as I know all this independently and first hand as I took notes with my mentor and best friend, the UN Security Council Special Envoy to the Arab Nations that Coalition has been trying to assassinate the entire time we were brokering peace with the rebels!

Here is a fact that Western media airbrush and mostly released regurgitated managed news, reporting everything but the truth.

“It is the rebels who took up arms in the middle of our peaceful cities and caused the death of many people (by recruiting foreign mercenary) fighters from several nationalities.”

NOTE: Mr. Moreno-Ocampo, with this report, I will give you NAMES of persons and companies who were in charge of the media propaganda as well as instigators. I find it very interesting that you would cover up the big 5 American Equity firms who started this. The Western Media, with their paid bloggers also ought to be tried for War Crimes just as Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Propaganda Minister. They were fueling World War 3 and reporting lies as well as slander. However, since none of you can do your job properly, I think it is time humanity ought to put your group on trial.

If you want another real cases of atrocities,

On May 14: NATO massacred Libyan religious leaders at Brega.

On May 13: NATO killed over 150 of Libya’s most senior Imams who assembled for a peace conference. (NOTE: Brega was chosen….because it is the closest government held town to the rebel held stronghold of Benghazi, and the Imams planned to send a delegation (there) following the conference. But, early on May 13, NATO bombed their site, killing at least 10, injuring over 40 others severely enough to require hospitalization)

Two Imans traveled back to Tripoli, held a press conference and condemned the attack. NATO confirmed it, claiming it targeted a “command and control center,” a deliberate lie.

 

 

FYI: The structure was a temporary residential complex or guest quarters and it was unrelated to Libya’s military.

Or the 28 children who died 3 hours after the bogus NO FLY ZONE was implemented, and not long after that the 1200 civilians the French Rafale jets targeted in a University town?

Mr. Moreno-Ocampo is on a witch-hunt rather than legitimate justice and doing his job that is paid to do! Notably, Washington pressured the Security Council last February to investigate “widespread and systematic attacks” against Libyans it instigated by enlisting, arming and funding insurgent fighters.

They, not Gaddafi, incited violence. Sarcozy fired the bullets and bombs first. We called on ceasefire, there were no Gaddafi planes that left the ground. The Coalition sent assassins, snipers, spies, and covered the ground with bombs and bullets with the French Rafale jets! Justifiably, Gaddafi responded to stop it to protect his people. He kept his word of ceasefire. Victimized by imperial intervention, he’s now targeted for doing his job as a sovereign leader of Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.

Claiming ample evidence shows Gaddafi “personally ordered attacks on unarmed Libyan civilians” is gross hypocrisy with no credibility whatever.

As I go on expanding my personal account and report of the overall scenario, let me  underline the fact that no humanitarian crisis existed until America and its imperial partners showed up lawlessly. The attack on the Arab Nations and in particular, Libya was planned many months and years, in advance, with grand scheme includes:

– replacing one despot with another;

– preventing any direct democratic spark from emerging;

– colonizing Libya;

– balkanizing the country;

– establishing new Pentagon bases;

– using them to intimidate neighboring states;

– dominating the Mediterranean Basin and entire African continent; and

– carving up Libya for profit by stealing its wealth, controlling its money and resources, exploiting its people, turning workers into serfs, and privatizing its state enterprises under Western control, no matter how many corpses and mass destruction it takes to do it.

There are real material interests at stake, fortunes to be made many times over. This intervention is intended to enrich the Western investors and keep the world safe for them.

ICC Prosecuting Judge Moreno-Ocampo is a War Crime Accomplice

It seems ICC Prosecuting Judge, Moreno-Ocampo is quite convinced he is above international law and “impartial”, I would like to let the world know that since appointed on June 16, 2003, he has abstained from any imperial prosecutions, exposing himself as complicit with horrific Western crimes of war and against humanity, leaving America, Israel, and other culpable states unaccountable.

Instead of doing his “impartial” job for the international community, he chose soft targets, in particular Western designated ones, including outlier officials in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, Sudan, Kenya, and Libya, absolving the most culpable big fish, particularly George W Bush, Cheney, Obama, key people under them, and top Pentagon commanders.

Moreover, he avoids prosecuting rogue Western-allied MENA country (Middle East/North Africa) allies, including:

– Egypt’s military junta;

– Iraq’s puppet leaders;

– Afghan ones;

– Bahrain;

– Saudi Arabia;

– other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states;

– Yemen;

– Morocco;

– Algeria;

– Tunisia; and

– most notably of all, Israel, by far the region’s most culpable state for over six decades,

responsible for horrendous crimes of war and against humanity.

Since the Tribunal thinks they can be the only one who can compile evidentiary support, I would like to share actual cables that prove his “impartiality” and “competence” as a Prosecuting Judge like he is now :

EO 12958 DECL: 03/23/2019

TAGS PGOV, PREL, UNSC, PHUM, SU, XW

SUBJECT: (C) ICC’S OCAMPO ON SUDAN: GO AFTER BASHIR’S MONEY AND CALL FOR HIS ARREST; REASSURE CHINA

Classified By: Ambassador Alejandro D. Wolff, for reasons 1.4 b/d

1. (C)  International Criminal Court Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo told Ambassadors Rice and Wolff on March 20 that Sudanese President Bashir needed to be isolated. Ocampo suggested if Bashir’s stash of money were disclosed (he put the figure at possibly $9 billion), it would change Sudanese public opnion from him being a ‘crusader’ to that of a thief. Ocampo reported Lloyd’s Bank in London might be holding or knowledgeable of the whereabouts of his money. Ocampo suggested simply exposing that Bashir had illegal accounts would be enough to turn the Sudanese against him, “as with Pinochet.”

2. (C) Ocampo said Bashir invents conflict to create a better negotiating position, and thought Bashir was using the expulsion of the NGOs to divert attention away from his arrest warrant. Ocampo suggested the U.S. and the international community also needed to push for Bashir’s arrest to isolate him. Ocampo likened Bashir’s situation to “a bleeding shark being surrounded by other sharks,” with no loyalty, only greed, motivating those competing for power. By promoting the possibility of Bashir’s arrest, Bashir would be further marginalized within Sudan’s ruling elite, Ocampo thought.

3. (C) Ocampo suggested it would be beneficial to reassureChina that its access to oil would not be jeopardized. If Chinabelieved Bashir was becoming a destabilizing influence, Ocampo said China might be more open to his removal as long as his replacement would guarantee support for China’s economic interests.

Wolff

7. (C) Adada ppoured scorn on the “wildly inaccurate” recent statements of ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo that “5,000 people were being killed each month in Darfur.” He added that who would be so naive and ill-informed to believe such a thing” He noted that this would be over a hundred people a day being killed, a level of violence not seen in Darfur for several years (Note: probably not since 2005). Even the horrific Kalma camp massacre of August 25, 2008 which killed 33 innocent people was “one crime on one day, this doesn’t happen very often.” He mused that such patently absurd and false information put out by Ocampo doesn’t make him look very credible in the eyes of those who actually know something about the reality of Darfur.

There’s still more of interest in a report on a visit by a senior Chinese official to Khartoum. The US diplomat says that Chinese concern about the issuance of an arrest warrant against President Bashir was ‘well-founded’, ‘useful and helpful’.

Classified By: CDA Alberto M. Fernandez, for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d)

1. (C) Summary: During his recent visit to Sudan, Chinese Special Envoy Zhai Jun strongly counseled the GOS to remain prudent in dealing with the threatened arrest warrant for President Bashir and to continue to engage with the international community, according to Chinese Ambassador Li. Zhai even suggested that Sudan contact the ICC itself. Li encouraged the USG to consider shared interests in Sudan,s stability and not to veto a UNSCR postponing the ICC proceedings. CDA Fernandez thanked China for its helpful message to the GOS, and reported that the USG has made no decision whatsoever regarding an Article 16 vote. He emphasized that the USG’s primary concern remains tangible improvements in the situation in Darfur, the recent violence by the regime in Kalma Camp was a setback, and thus far the USG sees no reason to postpone ICC action. End Summary.

2. (C) On September 3, Chinese Ambassador Li Cheng Wen briefed Charge Fernandez on Chinese Special Envoy and Assistant Foreign Minister Zhai Jun,s recent visit to Sudan. Zhai, who is responsible for Africa and the Middle East, inaugurated the new Chinese consulate in Juba and discussed the possible ICC indictment of President Bashir with GOS officials inKhartoum. On the latter issue, Li stated that Zhai expressed grave concern about the negative effect an ICC indictment would have on resolving the Darfur crisis. Zhai found Bashir to be quite receptive.

3. (C) According to Li, SE Zhai praised the GOS for its calm handling of the matter thus far, and encouraged GOS officials to continue to mobilize internally and engage the international community, including the UN Security Council and especially the P-5. Zhai also made a “friendly suggestion” that the GOS consider communicating with the ICC itself, either directly or indirectly. Li expressed hope that such contact could influence and perhaps “curb the next steps” in the ICC process. He stated that the GOC views ICC indictment not only as a political, not a legal matter. As such, it is encouraging the GOS to pursue both legal and political solutions to the problem.

4. (C) Li stated that the GOC is extremely worried about how the ICC indictment will affect in Darfur, asserting that it has hardened the rebels’ stance towards peace. He believes that GOS officials now understand the gravity of the situation they have created over the years, and hopes they will heed GOC advice continue to engage with the international community. “Not heating up this matter is in the interest of all parties,” he said.

5. (C) CDA Fernandez thanked Li for China,s helpful and useful message to the GOS. He noted that while the United Statesshares GOC concerns about Sudan,s stability, its primary focus is achieving tangible improvements in the situation in Darfur, especially in regards to humanitarian access. He continued that while GOS contact with the ICC might influence P-5 members France and theUK, it does not by itself concern the United States, which is not a party to the ICC.

6. (C) Li concurred that the GOS could do more to speed up humanitarian access and take other positive actions but cautioned that “only pressuring the Sudanese government is no use.” Continued antagonism serves to strengthen the suspicions of hardliners within the NCP that the West is plotting againstSudan, he said. Rather, “we need to engage with them” to help solve the Darfur crisis. Both agreed that there is some anecdotal evidence of regime infighting about what is the best strategy: cooperation or escalation.

7. (C) Li expressed puzzlement at perceived British and French support for ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo. He stated that “whoever had a role in creating this problem will bear responsibility” if Sudan descends into chaos as a result of the ICC indictment, adding that such an outcome could have been easily forecast. He declared that destabilization of Sudan is in no one’s interest, adding that “to help Sudan is to help ourselves. I hope the British and French understand this philosophy.” He observed that French companies have oil interests in Sudan as well as in Chad. . CDA Fernandez agreed that an ICC indictment will present great challenges to achieving peace in Darfur, but commented that the decision to indict President Bashir was may bave been made by an overzealous prosecutor and is not the result of “high politics” or a conspiracy by the West. He noted President Bashir’s sweeping claims to want to change the situation in Darfur for the better, “we want to see tangible results, not words or process.”

U.S. Should Not Block Delaying ICC Action

8. (C) CDA Fernandez’ meeting with Li followed a flurry of erroneous media reports that China is expected to “veto” the issuance of an arrest warrant for President Bashir. (Note: For example, the newspaper Akher Lahza ran a story with the headline “China Does Not Rule Out Veto To Invalidate Ocampo’s Allegations,” which noted that “President Bashir received a verbal message from his Chinese counterpart expressing a his country’s support for Sudan regarding Ocampo’s allegations,” but that “Peking denied reaching the stage of using a veto to invalidate the ICC prosecutor’s procedures because the case is still in its primary phase.” Another daily, Al-Rae’d, ran a headline “Chinese veto awaits Ocampo.” End Note.) Li acknowledged that these reports suggest a fundamental misunderstanding of role of Article 16 of the ICC Statute by the Sudanese public, and that it is a P-3 veto of a deferral of the ICC proceedings that GOS must worry about. He urged the USG to think of its and Chinese “mutual interests” in Africa when making a decision. “Stability is in the interests of all parties,” he said. “It’s what we should work for in the New World Order.”

9. (C) Li’s concern that the issuance of an arrest warrant for President Bashir could have profound destabilizing effects are well founded. Combined with the end of the rainy season and renewal of rebel activity on both sides of the Chad-Sudan border, the ICC indictment could set off a chain reaction of violence and instability. China’s encouragement of GOS internal mobilization and international engagement, including with the ICC, is both useful and helpful, but its unclear whether the NCP even has the capability, let alone the willpower, to take any action towards solving the crisis if it can decide what those steps should be.

President Nicolas “Bling” Sarcozy: A CIA implant Nazi supporting Warmonger

______________________________________

It seems I may have to remind our ICC Prosecuting Judges who have forgotten our Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international laws such asGeneva Convention of 1949 – which comprises of four treaties, and three additional protocols, and are established as standards of international lawfor the humanitarian treatment of the victims of war. The articles of the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) extensively defined the basic rights of prisoners (civil and military) during war; it is established for the protections of the wounded; the civilians in and around a war zone. The treaties of 1949 were ratified, in whole or with reservations, by 194 countries, including Libya. The international law defines the rights and protections of non-combatants, thus:

Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an INDEPENDENT and IMPARTIAL tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.

- Universal Declaration of Human Rights

“Protected persons are entitled, in all circumstances, to respect for their persons, their honor, their family rights, their religious convictions and practices, and their manners and customs. They shall, at all times, be humanely treated, and shall be protected, especially against all acts of violence or threats thereof and against insults and public curiosity. Women shall be especially protected against any attack on their honor, in particular against rape, enforced prostitution, or any form of indecent assault. Without prejudice to the provisions relating to their state of health, age and sex, all protected persons shall be treated with the same consideration by the Party to the conflict in whose power they are, without any adverse distinction based, in particular, on race, religion or political opinion. However, the Parties to the conflict may take such measures of control and security in regard to protected persons as may be necessary as a result of the war. “

- Article 27, Fourth Geneva Convention (1949)

Article 1 of Protocol I clarifies that armed conflict against colonial domination and foreign occupation also qualifies as an international conflict, which should be used for defending Libyan sovereignty. The Libya debate meets these criteria, and thus, the full protections of the Conventions should apply to take everything into account and put these criminals in a war tribunal for these heinous crimes.

Base on the Convention, these serious crimes, legally termed as grave breaches,the atrocities done to Libya and Gaddafi are to be considered as war crime.US/UK/EU/NATO and the GROUP of 5 Big American Equity Fund Executive instigators of this international conflict have breached the Third and Fourth Geneva Conventions against Gaddafi, Libya and humanity, which is supposedly protected by the Convention:

• willful killing, torture or inhumane treatment, including biological experiments
• willfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health
• compelling someone to serve in the forces of a hostile power

• willfully depriving someone of the right to a fair trial
• extensive destruction and appropriation of property not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly

The International Laws also stipulates that when the Geneva Conventions are applied, governments must surrender a certain degree of their national sovereignty to comply with international law. Again, it is hypocritical of the Court to ask Mr. Gaddafi and his cohorts to step forward into the obviously impartial Western Sanhedrin filled with Pharisaical mob in addition to baseless allegations and lack of substantial evidentiary support.

The Court’s proceedings have often been questionable where not farcical. Its judges – some of whom have never been lawyers, let alone judges – are the result of vote-trading amongst member states. The Court has produced witnesses who recanted their testimony the moment they got into the witness box, admitting that they were coached by non-governmental organisations as to what false statements to make. There have been prosecutorial decisions which should have ended any fair trial because they compromised the integrity of any subsequent process. The ICC’s first trial stalled because of judicial decisions to add new charges half-way through proceedings. Simply put, the Court has been making things up as it goes along.

The ICC claims to be “economical”, yet costs half a billion Euros to put on one deeply flawed trial, which subsequently ground to a halt for months. The ICC claims to be victim-centred yet in practice full of ambivalence towards victim communities. The ICC claims to bring “swift justice” but it has taken several years to bring the first accused to trial for allegedly using child soldiers. The Nuremberg trials, which addressed infinitely more serious charges, were over within a year. The ICC claims to be fighting impunity, yet it has afforded de facto immunity and impunity to several serial abusers of human rights who happen to be friends of the European Union and United States.

Absolving Israel, America and its complicit partners mocks the notion of a legitimate tribunal. Worse still is targeting their victims, making them pay for imperial crimes. The ICC does not have Africa’s welfare at heart, only the furtherance of Western, and especially European, foreign policy and its own bureaucratic imperative – to exist, to employ more Europeans and North Americans and where possible to continue to increase its budget. Business as usual.

Since everything has no validity and charades, it is imperative that NATO to stop their bombings and to also abandon its threat to kill Colonel Qadhafi and allow the ICC disputed process to take course. Failing which, it would mean that the ICC is not recognized and respected by NATO itself. Furthermore, NATO should immediately announce a ceasefire to guarantee the safety of the legitimate Libyan Leader, Colonel Qadhafi and other representatives and officials of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya to exercise their right to defend themselves in a fair tribunal.

The case against Muammar al-Gaddafi, his second eldest son Saif al-Islam and the head of Libyan intelligence, Abdullah al-Senussi is founded on the desperation to have access to the rich oil resources and not any legal ground as NATO should account on the destruction of Libyan infrastructure, killing of innocent civilians, women and children as well as the deprivation of access to basic necessities, including baby food.

Having the ICC issue illegitimate warrants very quickly as well the adamant referral of the Coalition and NATO speaks volumes of desperation because TRUTH be told and when all independent facts are presented as I am doing, Coalition members are the ones deserving of a War Tribunal for the blood of thousands are in their hands, not only breaking both international laand state laws with the assassination attempts.

The merit of the facts alleged do not require long comments for they are the result of a campaign conducted through the media. A great deal of information that has been given to the media has already proven to be false. It is responsibility of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya to use all legitimate means to maintain and re-establish law and order in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and to defend the unity and the territorial integrity of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.

PERSONAL REMARKS: Who hold these people accountable? NO ONE, because they either bought, coerced, and placed puppets in every single government around the world! The mainstream media is their arm. THIS IS AN INFORMATION WAR and Humanity is losing against that.  This is the only reason why we have not been able to stop it because of the propaganda for which yours truly will be giving the FULL PICTURE soon. 

They have killed 67 of my colleagues and 25-30 staff. They have also taken my UN Security Council Special Envoy to the Arab Nations, a British Lord, my mentor and brother, as captive in order for this TRUTH not to come out. WE are the original crew and I am the last one standing. I am the one that the Special Envoy in captive mandated to give the FULL REPORT and TRUTH to the United Nations Security and the media. But due to how events unfolded, I cannot and do not know who to trust anymore. I am very disappointed since these “leaders” have given their word that they will ENDORSE our report and we will then REMOVE THE NO FLY ZONE . After these people took  my mentor, everything went backwards:  They recognized the “Libyan rebels” who are undocumented criminals, fund them and made them “government”. There are many more things happening and I am in outrage at how billions of dollars are being used on propaganda to make what I have to say silent, so they can continue violating all state and international laws.  There are much facts and so much to do as I am doing the work of a 1000 people this moment, so thank you for your patience. I also have to thread smartly which to release due to my safety.

To the people who wonder who I am and where I got my information, the only way for you to verify is you can ask the highest level executives and world leaders at the United Nations. My name is in the most highly classified papers. 

In its core, this “humanitarian just war” is GENOCIDE and a war on many levels for which I will tell the world. But they are forcing New World Order and if we don’t stop this (and what they are doing in the Middle East), this is a pretext to a bigger war: World Nuclear War. This war is beyond Gaddafi. Libya, Syria, Yemen, Egypt, etc are all part of a bigger CHESS GAME for which I will tell the world. You will know soon.

What is urgent is to stop US/UK/France/NATO now. Don’t let it bleed further. They are not protecting any civilians. That was the charade. That is all I can say now. Subscribe to our pages on Facebook and this site. Share it. We cannot count on and trust the mainstream media. They are part of it.

More TRUTH, names and stories to be revealed. Stay tuned with Publisher Recommends (and soon Briefing Room when we do War Criminal Profiles) section.

Please share this official report to all your governments, elected officials, and absolutely everyone on the planet. If there is anytime in history that we are much more fragmented as a world, this is it. We are witnessing the darkest time of our history and I implore every peace loving Warriors out there to stand and commit in demanding Global Reform. We are not going to agree to more tyranny cloaked as “Democracy”. We cannot stand in silence anymore. It is time to push back these bullies and say ENOUGH. We need you to get behind what we are doing. We need action now. Sign under this article to show your support.

If there is anyone among you leaders who still have integrity, noble and fearlessly love TRUTH, I ask you to stand with me. I ask you to demand justice. I ask you to represent the people you serve and the country you love. I ask you to stand against tyranny and fight for freedom. I ask you to unite for true peace, order, common prosperity, decency, harmony, fairness and justice. I ask you stand with me and say ENOUGH. No more charades. No more false peace. No more wars for these people’s lust for power, domination, neo-colonialist plans, corruption and greed. Let us be humans. Let us love, respect and honor one another.

Remember, remember, Humanity. Remember July 12, 2011. D – Day. The day Democracy died and Universal Fusionism is born. Let us rise together in unity with one single purpose: Global Reform.

May the real descendants of Noble Dragons and Tigers rise now from the East, for me and with me. It is time to crush some Reptiles and cockroaches, defend Humanity and noble virtues, and take back our planet.

IT IS TIME.
