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 .
