In the Netherlands coming April 29th there'll be an official verdict in
the court case vs Bush et. al.: again charged with a string of crimes
against humanity, 'Breach of the UN Chapter' and the Torture Convention,
which by the way your country and the US has signed too.
A legal 'citizens arrest' is possible too.*

FPF - April 13th - 2005 - The dutch multinationals information service
called the ''Netherlands 'News' Agency'' (ANP) - had to report it too:
groups of people, political parties and other human rights organizations
in Holland, as well as private citizens, have united and started in the
city of the Hague an official court case against the State of the
Netherlands, to force people from the dutch Ministry of Justice to arrest
George Bush as soon as he sets foot on dutch soil in the beginning of May.
President George Bush' sordid status as a war criminal was conformed again
a month ago, when a 'War Crimes Tribunal' in Tokyo found U.S. President
George W. Bush guilty of war crimes for attacking civilians with
indiscriminate weapons and other arms during the U.S.-led anti terrorism
operations in Afghanistan in 2001.
The tribunal also issued recommendations for banning depleted uranium
shells and other weapons that could indiscriminately harm people,
compensating the victims in Afghanistan and reforming the United Nations
in light of its failure to stop the U.S.-led operation there.
The tribunal participants spent two years examining Bush's role as the top
commander in the war, making eight field trips to Afghanistan and holding
nearly 20 public hearings.
In the Netherlands coming April 29th there'll be an official verdict in
the court case where Bush et. al. again is charged with a string of crimes
against humanity, 'Breach of the UN Chapter' and the Torture Convention,
which by the way the Netherlands and the US have signed too.
Kenneth Roth, who is the Executive Director of 'Human Rights Watch', wrote
in a comment: "As for the many formal treaties on human rights, Henry
Kissinger has said he believes it "unlikely" that their signatories
"thought it possible that national judges would use them as a basis for
extradition requests regarding alleged crimes committed outside their
jurisdictions."
To the contrary, the Torture Convention of 1984, ratified by 124
governments including the United States, requires states either to
prosecute any suspected torturer found on their territory, regardless of
where the torture took place, or to extradite the suspect to a country
that will do so.
Similarly, the Geneva Conventions of 1949 on the conduct of war, ratified
by 189 countries including the United States, require each participating
state to "search for" persons who have committed grave breaches of the
conventions and to "bring such persons, regardless of nationality, before
its own courts. What is new is not the concept of extraterritorial
jurisdiction but the willingness of some governments to fulfill this duty
against those in high places.
Advocated is also, in case Bush doesn't want to show up, that he'll be
declared 'Persona non Grata' in the Netherlands: forbidden to ever set
foot - or boots - in the dutch countryside, visiting Second World War
cemeteries* and graves or not. He might go and start visiting american and
all other nationalities cemeteries which are filled with the victims of
his war crimes.
The goal is to get him in court at the ICJ in the Hague, the International
Court of Justice - and in the Hague is the International Criminal Court
too, the ICC. Crooked politicians and war criminals in the Netherlands
have already - against their refusal - been heard in court, with the
investigations going on.*
The fact that the first attempts - torpedoed by corrupted and cowardly
judges - didn't work out, doesn't matter. International infamous criminals
like Henry Kissinger are now openly wanted in many countries and he had to
flee France. War criminal and torture advocate Donald Rumsfeld is wanted
in Germany and many other places: everywhere people are trying to get at
those obvious criminals in a legal way too. A movement and cry for
justice, which by the way is spreading like a Bushfire...
Trying to show by law, that there still is some 'Justice'...
And hoping to proof that it is not always: 'Just us'....

The Dutch author this far has worked abroad 4 decades for international
media as a fully independent foreign correspondent, of which 10 years -
also during Gulf War I - in the Arab World and the Middle East. Seeing
worldwide that every bullet and every bomb breeds more terrorism ! - At
present 'Persona non Grata' in Holland :-) because:
He who travels far will often see things
Far removed from what he believed was the Truth.
When he talks about it in the fields at home,
He is often accused of lying,
For the obdurate people will not believe
Inexperience, I believe,
Will give little credence to my song.
