| Dear readers, Kissinger's visit to London has spawned a wealth of articles some of which we presented in our last issue. The stream of articles did not seem to slow in the weeks after this phenomenal event. In this issue you find the continuation of that coverage triggered by the visit but this issue is not confined to the events in London. We have also included links to French and Spanish language articles for our multi-lingual readers as well as a link to the 30-page transcript of a remarkable Harper's debate which took place last year. CNN International interviewed the British human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell who tried to obtain an arrest warrant for Kissinger for his war crimes committed during the Indochina wars (see KW #5). Ruth Wedgewood, an international lawyer with the Council on Foreign relations did not even attempt to counter Tatchell's argument that Kissinger should be prosecuted for the "killing, injuring and displacement" of millions of Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians during the Vietnam war (article 1). Additionally, you will find Christopher Hitchens' most recent Kissinger article (article 2) an Associated Press report on Vietnam's reaction to Tachell's arrest attempt (article 3), Saul Landau's "Kissinger and his human rights crimes" (article 4) as well as the Daily Telegraph's interview with Kissinger (article 5). In the light of the complete withdrawal of the USA from the International Criminal Court, ICAI has decided to canvass for likeminded initiatives in these difficult times for the fight against impunity. We wish to draw your attention to: Pinochet Watch http://www.tni.org/pinochet Piensa Chile http://www.piensachile.com the Indict Sharon Campaign http://www.indictsharon.net the demands to indict Saddam Hussein http://www.hrw.org/editorials/2002/iraq_032202.htm and efforts to bring Hissène Habré to justice http://www.hrw.org/editorials/2002/justicetochad.htm the Genocide Documentation Center of Cambodia http://welcome.to/dccam the call for an international tribunal for East Timor http://www.etan.org/action/issues/h-rights.htm as well as to the work of the Coalition for the ICC http://www.igc.org/icc/ ICAI would be happy to spread the word about further likeminded initiatives. Finally, at http://www.icai-online.org/46139,Index.html (Oil Companies Sued) you find a new article on a criminal complaint lodged end of April against TotalFinaElf by Myanmar refugees. Thank you very much for your readership Michael Schmitt, The International Campaign against Impunity, ( http://www.icai-online.org ) michael@icai-online.org | |
