ICC opens file against SL : Kenya President who MaRa embraced in his tour is a war criminal himself
(Lanka-e-News- 17.Dec.2013, 11.30PM) The International criminal court (ICC) has already opened a file pertaining to the Sri Lanka (SL) war crimes , according to Dr. Dayan Jayatileke the UN permanent representative of SL in Geneva during the war period 2007 to 2009. Dr. Jayatileke revealed this in a statement made by him to the private radio channel
A year ago , the chief Director of the ICC ,Morano Okampo told a international television channel that already a file has been opened in relation to SL war crimes. Dr. Jayatileke said he was waching to that. It is based on ignorance , some are claiming that ICC cannot institute legal action citing the ground SL has not signed the SL –Rome covenant, he observed.
Case was not filed in the ICC against former Yugoslavia President Molosovich , but a special court ( I C T Y – International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia) was established by the UN organization , Jayatileke pointed out.
Yugoslavia President was taken into custody on war crime charges, and the case was heard for 5 years while he was in detention. He finally died in custody.
A resolution with data against SL is expected to be presented in Geneva in march next year , he further warned .
In any event , according to reports reaching Lanka e news, the Kenya President Uhuru Kenyata is an individual facing criminal charges before the ICC who de facto dictator Rajapakse held in warm embrace during his recent tour in much the same way as birds of a feather flock together.
A preliminary trial was conducted against 7 accused including Kenyata . However charges against two of them were withdrawn subsequently. One other accused had fled and gone into hiding in fear. The charges against President Kenyata had been proved in the preliminary round, and from 5 th February next year , the trial against him will begin.
The first notice of summons was issued on 8 th March 2011 and at the preliminary inquiry on 23 rd January 2012, the charges were proved. The case trial is to commence on 5 th February 2014.
Among the five heinous charges filed against Kenyata are committing mass murder, inflicting torture , forcibly displacing people and rape of women .
It is worthy of special note that no sooner SL’s de facto dictator Rajapakse was appointed as the Head of the commonwealth , than he made a beeline to meet Kenyata the criminal brute of a leader, of all leaders !
