Bush-Terror, The Supreme International Crime
By Ghali Hassan
11/17/04 "ICH" -- Since the Bush Administration took power in 2001, the
world have witnessed a cabal of extremists and fanatics wreaking havoc on
defenseless nations such as Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan in complete
violations of international law, international organizations, and justice.
They are destroying not only the international system for peace and
justice, but progressive legislations in the United States.
The destruction of Iraq continues with total disregard for international
law. The crime hereinafter set out are punishable as crimes under
international law: wanton destruction of cities, towns, or villages, or
destruction not justified by military necessity (Nuremberg convention
Principle VI, 1945). According to this definition, the Bush
Administrations destruction of Fallujah, Ramadi, Tall Afar, Najef and
Samarra constitutes war crimes for which the Nazis were tried and
executed. To initiate a war of aggression is, very simply, the supreme
international crime condemned at Nuremberg.
According to Francis Boyle, Professor of Law at University of Illinois, In
international legal terms, the Bush Administration itself should now be
viewed as constituting an ongoing criminal conspiracy under international
criminal law in violation of the Nuremberg Charter, the Nuremberg
Judgment, and the Nuremberg Principles, due to its formulation and
undertaking of aggressive war policies that are legally akin to those
perpetrated by the Nazi regime.
In addition to this wanton destruction of Iraqi cities and towns, the US
have cut off water supplies to Fallujah, Tall Afar, and Samarra for the
past two months, affecting up to 750,000 civilians, reports the British
humanitarian organisation, Cambridge Solidarity with Iraq (CASI). Can you
imagine living without water for a day?
International law specifically forbids the denial of water to civilians
during conflict. Under Article 14 of the second protocol of the Geneva
Conventions, Starvation of civilians as a method of combat is prohibited.
It is therefore prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless
for that purpose, objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian
population such as food-stuffs, agricultural areas for the production of
food-stuffs, crops, livestock, drinking water installations and supplies
and irrigation works.
The exact number of civilians killed by the US assault on Fallujah is not
known. Red Cross official estimates that at least 800 civilians have been
killed during the US military siege of the city. According to Red Cross,
the information based on reports from Red Crescent aid workers stationed
around the embattled city, from residents within the city and from
refugees who fled the city. Eyewitnesses say most of the victims are
civilians, including, women, children, and unarmed men between the ages of
14-60 years old, who were prevented from leaving the city before the US
onslaught. Our neighbour house was raided; they killed her and two other
women, two men, and two childreneight peoplein the name of Al-Zarqawi. One
of the women was in her seventh month of pregnancy. Her fetus got out of
her body and stayed alive for 6 hours then died, according to the
neighbours and relatives who retrieved the bodies from under the rubble,
witnesses told IslamOnline.
Associated Press reported that, The Americans are shooting anything that
moves. Our air superiority is incredible, a US marine sergeant told
Associated Press. All we can do now is clear through the city and look for
survivors. Air power is our best friend against defenceless population.
The US military does not count the number of its crimes, and its
servicemen are immune from prosecution. In a word, the US is behaving like
a gangster, above the law.
US warplanes have bombed and destroyed hospitals and small clinics serving
the city of 300,000 people. Amnesty International reported that, 20 Iraqi
medical staff [doctors and nurses] and dozens of other civilians were
killed when a missile hit a Fallujah clinic on 09 November 2004. American
snipers killed more than 17 Iraqi doctors who had mobilized to answer an
appeal from Fallujah's doctors broadcast on al-Jazeera, Asia Times
reported on 18 November 2004. There are no medical facilities or medics
left to treat the wounded civilians.
While Fallujah was enduring the US-fascist assault, the world watches as
if the Iraqi people were not humans. Mainstream media sold an act of mass
murder of Iraqi civilians as a necessary step to build democracy. Not
only the Arab stooges kept their heads buried in the sand, their pliant
media follow their orders and succumb to US power. Recent poll in the Arab
World revealed that 81% of Arabs thought that the Arab media is pro-US,
and only 8% support the Iraqi Resistance.
Western TV programs broadcast footage on 11 November 2004 that shows a US
marine murdering a wounded unarmed man in a close-range criminal
execution. The footage was used around the world as propaganda to portray
the US army as law-abiding army and to cover up a large atrocity. This
outright murder of Iraqi civilians is deliberately broadcast in the
mainstream media to normalise [and sell] the unspeakable and unthinkable
[atrocity] for the general public.
The pretext of bringing freedom and democracy to Iraq through destruction
and mass murder of innocent civilians rings hollow among Iraqis. The two
terms are so despised in Iraq that people use them to describe westerners
derogatively. Both terms are kept alive by Western ruling elites to
manipulate the masses and justify wars of aggression against defenceless
people. Words like freedom and democracy have become like old coin, worn
so thin as to defy even the most conscientious effort to distinguish
between the real and the counterfeit, wrote Andrew Bacevich of Boston
University.
US disregard for international law and justice has much deeper roots than
contempt for democracy. As in the Vietnam War, it was simply taken for
granted by the media that international law was for others, not the US.
Despite the large atrocity of the Vietnam War, the US was never punished
for its war crimes, and allowed to walk free.
The US war in Iraq is a silent holocaust about which the civilised world
does nothing. It must be resisted and exposed. People have the right to do
so without fear. Everyone around the world has both the right and the duty
under international law to resist ongoing criminal activities perpetrated
by the Bush Jr. administration and its nefarious foreign accomplices such
as Blair, Berlusconi, Howard, Koizumi, Kwasniewski, etc. by all
non-violent means possible, wrote Francis Boyle.
The war against Iraq is premeditated act of aggression. It is a war crime.
This crime is perpetrated under our eyes every day, making accomplices out
of those who do not denounce it, wrote the French philosopher, Jean-Paul
Sartre. A non-violent international movement for justice and freedom must
challenge those responsible for the violence and crimes and bring them to
justice.
International law and domestic law provide legality for the arrest of
world criminals who committed crimes against the Iraqi people. There is
overwhelming prima facia evidence to support war crimes committed by the
Bush cabal and their allies.
