Subject: DEFEATING THE BLOCKADE ON AID TO HAITI AND THE RECENT JUDGEMENT OF
THE SUPREME COURT ON CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS
Dear Colleagues,
In the context of the recent Judgement of the US Supreme Court on campaign
contributions I have to invite your attention to the article on Information
Clearing
House titled -'Olbermann: US government for sale .'
In this context for the last several months , since March 2009 I have been
trying to forward
an article on " Independence of the Judiciary , Constitutional Myth and
Political
Reality ", a study on the Jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of the USA and
India
on vital issues in which I had analysed the historical and contemporary
trends, as the
recent decision is only a continuation of the trend .However it was
obstructed from being
forwarded and never got off the Internet, though it was strictly a juridical
analysis
which was written at the request of the International Association of
Democratic
Lawyers. There seems to have been some aspect of the analysis which was
considered lethal .
Another legal aspect for your consideration is that the statute of the
International
Criminal Court in respect of its limited jurisdiction violates the Geneva
Conventions
on the Laws of War which provide for Universal Jurisdiction and the pursuit
and
conviction of those who violate the Geneva Convention, such a provision
consequently
would be violative of International Humanitarian Law and ultra vires the
statute of the
Criminal Court itself and the objectives and purposes with which it was
constituted .
This may be examined by associations of jurists and those presently seized
with
interpreting the statute , namely whether the ICC can exclude from its
jurisdiction
those who have violated the Geneva Conventions or any other International
Convention which mandates universal jurisdiction . In this context can the
UK proceed to amend its war crimes act????????
On Haiti it is absolutely necessary for the blockade on International Relief
to be defeated by every means , including by calling upon US marines to
co-operate with the International effort to provide relief as disobedience
of ILLEGAL ORDERS TO PREVENT RELIEF REACHING IS NOT
A CRIME WHEREAS DENYING AND OBSTRUCTING RELIEF BY ANY
MILITARY PERSONNEL OR HEAD OF STATE WOULD AMOUNT
TO GENOCIDE AND A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY .
However please do carry some of the articles on the recent judgment of the
US Supreme Court on your website .
