UN slapped on the face of fascist Government of Pakistan

By: International Professor

It was not surprising for Human Rights activists around the globe that finally United Nations has come forward to point finger towards fascists and activities, there is no doubt that entire junta ruling over Pakistan would face War Crimes against Humanity in International Courts of Justice one day, whether it would take years but war criminals would have to face trials.

Keep records and images of culprits and like Sri Lankan officials who broke the records of barbarism and now facing criticism from all around the world, last week Pakistan army has sent Commodore Nadeem Anjum of National Defence University to learn methods of extra judicial killings and use of force against civilians.

There is no doubt that lust of free U.S. dollars has made Generals and corrupt politicians the hooded snakes of the full moon, dancing on the tunes of their masters the known snack charmers, the Imperialists are not only using snake charmers flute but in spite of milk those are showering dollars to keep serpents under their control. There is no shortage of evidences; peoples have ledgers full of war crimes of army generals and ruling government.

Everybody know that UNO is helpless to summon war criminals but we appreciate that any one, anyone in the whole United Nations has courage to warn war criminals about their obligations to UN Charters. It is an old technique of Imperialists that if any one speaks about Geneva Convention or Charter of Human Rights that is declared terrorist.

Here two reports of UNO are directly related to war crimes of Pakistan Army, Pakistan Air Force and corrupt politicians. We have unchallengeable evidences that Pakistan Government is using “Terrorism” as a source of regular income. World renowned criminals and thugs are running current Government of Pakistan, its President, Prime Minister, Minister of Interior and majority of parliamentarians are thugs, criminals and swindlers. Many have criminal records and their friendship with Anglo-Americans is a stigma on the name of civilization. None of its general wants to be retired, and at least three generals are working on extensions, many have been provided high profile jobs after retirement or the generals near to their retirement are black mailing for extensions. In each case the “Terrorism” is a juggler’s drum for making money, a profession and a full time job to make Westerners fool, and to keep them under fear of an unseen gigantic monster.

There is a long list of terrorism incidences where top officials have been found involved with terrorists. Whether Faisal Shahzad an alleged New York bomber was not son of a top Air Force chief or other Khald Khawaja was not a Military official. In ruling party the provincial government in at least two provinces is composed of international terrorists, in frontier the ANP is ruling that are known communists and agents of KGB, those made Pakistan hell on behest of Russia, In Sindh province the ruling MQM is known terrorist group, just type in Google and you would be surprised to see thousands of documents and reports against Zaradri, ANP and MQM.

The credibility of Pakistan Government could be judged by their efforts to please U.S. that Generals sold citizens for dollars and after passing many years U.S. is mulling for punishment but not a single person has been indicted in proper legal way. In Pakistan at least 15000 persons are missing, more than 25, 000 are being killed with the help of artillery and air force, and more than 10,000 are under custody without any trial or producing in courts of law since last one year. Pakistan army is itself a terrorist gang that killed more than 2500 peoples in target killings and their dead bodies were thrown on road sides. The strength of peoples forced to exodus is above 3 million persons.

Have you ever heard in the history of mankind that old, women and children have been forced to produce alleged person. It happens in Pakistan that more than 75 families or more than 300 persons are forced out of their homes. Those have been thrown in jungle without any support by Pakistan army.

Cruelty has its limits and when a barbarian crosses limits than nature comes forward to stop those hands. Following reports of United Nations is a slap on the face of Imperialists and their toddies sitting at top of Pakistan Government as well. It is time for UNO to collect data of such war criminals with the list of their war crimes.

UN rights expert voices concern over use of unmanned drones by United States

Philip Alston, UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions

28 October 2009 – The use of pilot-less drones by the United States to target militants in Pakistan and Afghanistan will be regarded as a breach of international law unless Washington can demonstrate that it follows the appropriate precautions and accountability mechanisms, an independent United Nations human rights expert warned.

Philip Alston, the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, yesterday presented his latest report to the General Assembly’s Third Committee (social, humanitarian and cultural) at UN Headquarters in New York, telling committee members that his concern about the issue has “grown dramatically” in recent months.

The US military has used unmanned drones and so-called “predators” to carry out the targeted executions of Taliban members and other militants operating in neighbouring Pakistan and Afghanistan, he noted to journalists after presenting the report.

“While there may be circumstances in which the use of such techniques is consistent with applicable international law, this can only be determined in light of information about the legal basis on which particular individuals have been targeted, the measures taken to ensure conformity with the international humanitarian law principles of discrimination, proportionality, necessity and precaution, and the steps taken retrospectively to assess compliance in practice,” Mr. Alston told the committee.

Responding later to questions from journalists, the Special Rapporteur said the US position that the General Assembly and Human Rights Council – to which he reports – have no role in relation to killings that occur in the context of an armed conflict was a “simply untenable” response.

“That would remove the great majority of issues that come before these bodies right now,” he said, calling on US authorities to be more “upfront” about aspects of its programme.

“Otherwise you have the really problematic bottom line, which is that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is running a programme that is killing a significant number of people, and there is absolutely no accountability in terms of the relevant international law.”

In his report Mr. Alston also discussed recent visits to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Kenya and Colombia, and sounded the alarm about the apparently widespread practice worldwide of vigilante or “mob justice” killings.

“Covert or overt official involvement in, or encouragement of, vigilante killings is quite common,” he said, observing that all too often senior government officials do not publicly denounce instance of vigilante justice.

“Where vigilante killings persist for a sustained period, and the relevant police or municipal authorities have failed to take measures to reduce or eliminate them, national governments should introduce a system of penalties designed to ensure that the appropriate measures are taken… The prompt investigation, prosecution and punishment of perpetrators is crucial.”

Mr. Alston serves in an independent and unpaid capacity and reports to the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

UN independent expert voices concerns over the practice of targeted killings

Special Rapporteur Philip Alston

2 June 2010 – A United Nations independent human rights expert today sounded the alarm about the practice of targeted killings, saying it had a tenuous legal basis and could undermine the rules that aim to prevent extrajudicial executions and guarantee people the right to life.

Philip Alston, the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, said in a new report that legal justifications for targeted killings were often based on “excessively broad circumstances” and there was a lack of essential accountability mechanisms to ensure that they were legal.

“In terms of the first problem, there are indeed circumstances in which targeted killings may be legal,” Mr. Alston noted. “They are permitted in armed conflict situations when used against combatants or fighters, or civilians who directly engage in combat-like activities.

“But they are increasingly being used far from any battle zone. The United States, in particular, has put forward a novel theory that there is a ‘law of 9/11’ that enables it to legally use force in the territory of other States as part of its inherent right to self-defence on the basis that it is in an armed conflict with al-Qaida, the Taliban and ‘associated forces’, although the latter group is fluid and undefined.

“This expansive and open-ended interpretation of the right to self-defence goes a long way towards destroying the prohibition on the use of armed force contained in the UN Charter. If invoked by other States, in pursuit of those they deem to be terrorists and to have attacked them, it would cause chaos,” Mr. Alston writes in his report to the UN Human Rights Council.

He emphasized that he did not question the seriousness of the challenges posed by terrorism, saying he wholeheartedly condemned actions of al-Qaida and other groups that killed innocent civilians, as well as those that increased the danger of attacks on civilians by hiding in their midst.

“But the fact that such enemies do not play by the rules does not mean that a government can cast those rules aside or unilaterally re-interpret them. The credibility of any government’s claim that it is fighting to uphold the rule of law depends on its willingness to disclose how it interprets and applies the law – and the actions it takes when the law is broken,” according to Mr. Alston.

On accountability, Mr. Alston observed that international law requires that States using targeted killings demonstrate that they are complying with the various rules governing their use in situations of armed conflict.

“The clearest challenge to this principle today comes from the programme operated by the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in which targeted killings are carried out from unmanned aerial vehicles or drones. It is clear that many hundreds of people have been killed as a result, and that this number includes some innocent civilians,” Mr. Alston said.

“Because this programme remains shrouded in official secrecy, the international community does not know when and where the CIA is authorized to kill, the criteria for individuals who may be killed, how it ensures killings are legal, and what follow-up there is when civilians are illegally killed.

“In a situation in which there is no disclosure of who has been killed, for what reason, and whether innocent civilians have died, the legal principle of international accountability is, by definition, comprehensively violated,” Mr. Alston said.

He contrasted the lack of accountability during targeted killings to the established practice in the United States Department of Defense, where controversial military decisions can be reviewed.

“While it is by no means perfect, the United States military has a relatively public accountability process, as demonstrated earlier this week by its report on the incident in Uruzgan, Afghanistan, in which at least 23 civilians were killed based on erroneous intelligence from surveillance drone operators,” Mr. Alston said.

“Intelligence agencies, which by definition are determined to remain unaccountable except to their own paymasters, have no place in running programmes that kill people in other countries,” Mr. Alston added.

The Special Rapporteur reports to the Human Rights Council, which is based in Geneva, and serves in an independent and unpaid capacity.
