France, Canada and the US begin slaughtering the innocent people of Libya for oil subjugation.
Heinous Crimes, World news Saturday, March 19th, 2011
The war of aggression against Libya has begun with unprovoked armed attacks by France and the United Stated. French jets were the first to launch armed attacks against the people of Libya followed by missiles being fired by the United States. According the United Nations own Charter this action by the United States and France are illegal. According to International law their actions constitute crimes against peace and crimes against humanity. The crisis in Libya, however tragic it might be, is an domestic matter. Libya has not attacked any other country nor has the Libyan government made any threats of an armed attack against any other country. However, the US, France, the UK and the Canadian governments have all made nationally televised armed attack threats against Libya and today France and the US did violate the UN Charter and International law.
UN Charter
Article 2
4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations
7. Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter;
In 1950, the Nuremberg Tribunal defined Crimes against Peace, in Principle VI, specifically Principle VI(a), submitted to the United Nations General Assembly, as:
(i) Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances;
(ii) Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the acts mentioned under (i).
The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court refers to the crime of aggression as one of the “most serious crimes of concern to the international community”, and provides that the crime falls within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Who is guilty of the above named crimes? Not Libya nor its leader Gaddafi. The United States president, the Canadian and UK Prime Ministers and the French president are all guilty of these very serious crimes. The US, Canada, the UK and France are all planning and preparing to initiate a war of aggression (a military conflict waged without the justification of self-defense) against Libya and its people. France and the US are the first to initiate a war of aggression against Libya.
Thousands of innocent unarmed civilians will be murdered by the US, Canadian, UK, and French armed forces. A thousand times more civilians will be killed by NATO forces than by Gaddafi security forces and Israeli provided mercenaries. $Billions in damages will be inflicted by the US, Canada, the UK and France in Libya.
In Iraq Saddam Hussein was accused and hung for killing a few hundred people in his own country and yet the US has killed over 1 million Iraqi civilians in that US / NATO war of aggression. Afghanistan and their Taliban ruling party didn’t attack the US or any other NATO country nor did they kill any US or NATO citizen and yet the US / NATO killed tens of thousand of innocent Afghan civilians in that US / NATO war of aggression. Libya didn’t attack the US, France or any other NATO country nor make any threats against of an armed attack against France, the US or any other NATO country and yet the US and France have launched a war that will slaughter thousands of innocent Libyan civilians.
A war crimes tribunal must be formed immediately. France, the US, the UK and Canada are now committing the very same atrocities as those committed by Nazi Germans in WWII. The Nuremberg Trials, that followed WWII, were a series of military tribunals for the prosecution of prominent members of the political, military, and economic leadership of the defeated Nazi Germany. We must now demand that such trials be held to prosecute US President Barack Obama, US Defense Minister Robert Gates, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canadian Defense Minister Peter MacKay, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, French Minister of Defense Gérard Longuet, UK Prime Minister David Cameron and UK Defense Secretary Dr. Liam Fox – for violating international law and the laws of war.
The indictments against the political leaders of France, the US, the UK, and Canada are for:
1. Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of a crime against peace
2. Planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace
3. War crimes
4. Crimes against humanity
The evidence speaks for itself. The leaders of the US and other NATO countries have committed the above named crimes. Gaddafi is killing his own people, foreign mercenaries and terrorists. Who will the US and NATO forces be killing in this unlawfully invasion of Libya. Thousands, perhaps millions of innocent and unarmed Libyan civilians.
What is the real reason for the US attacking Libya? Is it for humanitarian reasons? Not according to the polls on this website. According to our poll oil is the main reason, followed by US corporate interest. The majority so far, see the UN backed war of aggression for what it is – a violation of International law – a crime against peace and a crime against humanity.
