15 January 2010 By Dr Gideon Polya
The following detailed
formal complaint was sent on 8 January 2010 to the
International Criminal Court (ICC) over various US
Alliance involvements in ongoing genocidal atrocities
against Palestinians, Iraqis, Afghans, Muslims, and
Australian Aboriginals, and against the Developing
World in general through the worsening Biofuel
Genocide and Climate Genocide.
Chief
Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo,
Information and Evidence Unit,
Office of the Prosecutor,
Post Office Box 19519,
2500 CM The Hague, The Netherlands.
Dear Sir,
Formal complaint to the Chief Prosecutor of the
International Criminal Court re various US Alliance,
NATO, EU, Australia, New Zealand and UK involvement in
Palestinian Genocide, Iraqi Genocide, Afghan Genocide,
Muslim Genocide, Aboriginal Genocide, Biofuel Genocide
and Climate Genocide.
A. Introduction
1. Holocaust is the
destruction of a large number of people. The term was
first applied to a WW2 atrocity by Jog in 1944 (Jog,
N.G. (1944), Churchill’s Blind-Spot: India (New Book
Company, Bombay)) in relation to the “forgotten”
man-made Bengal Famine (6-7 million Indians - many of
them Muslims in a "forgotten" WW2 Muslim Holocaust -
deliberately starved to death by the British,
1943-1945). It was subsequently applied to the Jewish
Holocaust (5-6 million killed, 1 in 6 dying from
deprivation) which was part of a horrendous WW2
European Holocaust (30 million Slavs, Jews and Gypsies
killed in the Nazi German Lebensraum genocide).
2. Genocide is very
precisely defined in International Law as “acts
committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part,
a national, ethnic, racial or religious group” as set
out by Article 2 of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention:
“In the present Convention, genocide means any of the
following acts committed with intent to destroy, in
whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or
religious group, as such: a) Killing members of the
group; b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to
members of the group; c) Deliberately inflicting on
the group conditions of life calculated to bring about
its physical destruction in whole or in part; d)
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within
the group; e) Forcibly transferring children of the
group to another group”
(see: http://www.edwebproject.org/sideshow/
genocide/convention.html ).
3. Key to this internationally agreed,
legal definition of genocide is “intent”.
Thus the “intent’ of a serial killer is not
abolished by his refusal to confess or otherwise
explicitly declare “intent” – it can be clearly
established simply by the evidence of sustained,
remorseless actions leading to serial deaths.
Likewise, for example, the sustained, remorseless
actions (and inactions) of the British caused the
deaths of 6-7 million Indians in the 1943-1945 Bengali
Holocaust (see the transcript of the 2008 BBC
broadcast involving myself, Economics Nobel Laureate
Professor Amartya Sen and other scholars:
http://www.open2.net/thingsweforgot
/bengalfamine_programme.html ); and the sustained
British deprivation of its Indian subjects in the 2
century British Indian Holocaust (1.5 billion excess
deaths, or about 1.8 billion if including those in the
Native States, and about 20% of them Muslims) (see:
http://mwcnews.net/content/view/26713/42/ and http://mwcnews.net/content/view/31306/42/
).
Any interpretation
that denies sustained, remorseless actions (and
inactions) leading to “destroy[ing], in whole or in
part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group”
as evidence for genocide simply states, as a
corollary, that any country, group or government can
sustainedly and remorselessly effect such destruction
provided it does not confess to any “intent” to do so.
4. Violent deaths and non-violent
avoidable deaths from deprivation and
deprivation-exacerbated disease
As spelled out in great detail in my book “Body
Count. Avoidable mortality since 1950” (see: http://globalavoidablemortality.blogspot.com/
) and in a March 2009 article on Occupied Afghanistan
excess deaths (see “Obama’s Afghan War “: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/29546/42/
), non-violent avoidable deaths (non-violent excess
deaths, avoidable mortality, excess mortality, deaths
that did not have to happen) for a country in a given
period is the difference between the observed
mortality and the mortality expected for a peaceful,
decently governed country with the same demographics.
Whether a civilian
person dies from bombs or bullets or from deprivation,
the end result is the same and the invader and
occupier culpability the same. Indeed in the WW2
Jewish Holocaust 5.6 million Jews died, with 1 in 6
dying from deprivation (see Gilbert, M. (1969), Jewish
History Atlas (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London).
Gilbert, M. (1982),
Atlas of the Holocaust (Michael Joseph, London)).
5. A note on the calculation of
non-violent avoidable deaths – example, Occupied
Afghanistan
For Occupied
Afghanistan in 2005-2010, annual crude death rate in
“deaths per 1,000 of population per year” was 19.7 as
compared to an average of about 4 for “good” high
birth rate Developing countries (e.g. for peaceful,
only partially-occupied, impoverished Syria it is 3.4)
(see UN Population Division: http://esa.un.org/unpp/index.asp?panel=2
).
Accordingly, the “avoidable death rate” for Occupied
Afghanistan in 2005-2010 (mid-2005 to mid-2010)
is19.7-4.0 = 15.7 deaths per 1000 of population per
year .
The average population of Occupied Afghanistan in
2005-2010 was (24.507 million + 29.117 million)/2 =
26.812 million (see UN Population Division: http://esa.un.org/unpp/index.asp?panel=2
).
Accordingly, the
avoidable deaths in Occupied Afghanistan in the period
2005-2010 = 15.7 avoidable deaths per thousand
population per year x 26,812 thousand population x 5
years = 2,104,742 = about 2.1 million.
Application of the
same analysis to the period October 2001-December 2009
yields an estimate of 3.4 million post-invasion excess
deaths in Occupied Afghanistan.
6. Active and passive killing and
active and passive genocide
The outstanding
bioethicist Professor Peter Singer (Princeton
University and the University of Melbourne) has stated
that “We are responsible not only for what we do but
also for what we could have prevented… We should
consider the consequences both of what we do and what
we decide not to do” (see: Singer, P. (2000), Writings
on an Ethical Life (Ecco Press, New York), ppxv-xvi).
An analogy of
“passive genocide” in British-ruled Bengal and in the
Genocides involving Australia and the US Alliance can
be found in the treatment of severely disabled
new-born infants. Professor Peter Singer, arguably the
most influential living philosopher, has
controversially argued for the humane “active
euthanasia” of severely disabled infants. At present
many experienced hospital doctors will administer pain
relief but not sustenance to such infants by way of
“passive euthanasia”. However, according to Singer:
“Doctors who deliberately leave a baby to die when
they have the awareness, the ability, and the
opportunity to save the baby’s life, are just as
morally responsible for the death as they would be if
they had brought it about by a deliberate , positive
action.” (see: Kuhse, H. & Singer, P. (1985), Should
the Baby Live? The Problem of Handicapped Infants
(Oxford University Press, Oxford)).
The active massacre
of Australian Aboriginals in the period from Invasion
in 1788 until the late 1920s can be described as
“active genocide” but the continuing Aboriginal
Genocide through sustained policies of deprivation is
no less deadly “passive genocide” and the same
analysis can be applied to the Palestinian Genocide,
Iraqi Genocide, Afghan Genocide, Muslim Genocide,
Biofuel Genocide and Climate Genocide in which
Australia is also complicit. As outlined below,
Australia and the US Alliance countries have grossly
violated International humanitarian conventions in
deliberately failing to provide life-sustaining
requisites to their overseas Subjects.
Natural Law
prohibits causing the death of others either actively
or passively. International Law prohibits the
deliberate killing of civilians either actively or
passively (see section (7) below).
7. Geneva Convention and war criminal
US Alliance failure to supply life-sustaining
requisites to Subject Peoples
While annual per
capita medical expenditure on Indigenous Australians
is similar to that for the non-Indigenous Australians,
it has been estimated that this expenditure needs to
be at least doubled because of the huge morbidity and
the remote location of many Aboriginal communities (a
personal communication from a medical doctor expert in
Aboriginal Health says that it should be tripled).
While Australia has been prepared to spend up to 6
million dollars each time to save individual solo
yachtspersons who have deliberately placed themselves
in danger, it has remorselessly refused to meet its
obligations towards Indigenous Australians with a
consequent huge excess death rate (for details and
documentation see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/15140/42/
).
WHO data reveal that the “annual total per capita
medical expenditure” (2004) permitted by the US
Coalition is $124 (in Occupied Iraq) and $29 (in
Occupied Afghanistan) as compared to vastly higher
amounts in various US Alliance Occupier countries:
$3,122 (Australia), $3,554 (France), $3,328 (Germany),
$2,623 (Italy), $3,383 (Netherlands), $2,447 (New
Zealand), $2,784 (UK) and $6,714 (the US) (see WHO:
http://www.who.int/en/ ; see also: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/17066/42/
). One can now understand why there is such horrendous
infant mortality in Occupied Iraq and Occupied
Afghanistan as reported by UNICEF (see: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/index.html
) and as summarized below.
In the case of Gaza (described by Catholic Church
justice minister, Cardinal Renato Martino, as
Israeli’s Gaza Concentration Camp), this part of the
Occupied Palestinian Territory has been under
military-applied blockade for 3 years. It can be
estimated that 3,600 Occupied Palestinian infants die
avoidably every year due to Israeli violation of the
Geneva Convention.
The sheer criminality of this failure to supply
life-sustaining requisites to Subject people is made
clear in Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention
Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time
of War (see: http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/92.htm
):
Article 55 To the
fullest extent of the means available to it the
Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring the food and
medical supplies of the population; it should, in
particular, bring in the necessary foodstuffs, medical
stores and other articles if the resources of the
occupied territory are inadequate.
The Occupying Power
may not requisition foodstuffs, articles or medical
supplies available in the occupied territory, except
for use by the occupation forces and administration
personnel, and then only if the requirements of the
civilian population have been taken into account.
Subject to the provisions of other international
Conventions, the Occupying Power shall make
arrangements to ensure that fair value is paid for any
requisitioned goods.
The Protecting Power
shall, at any time, be at liberty to verify the state
of the food and medical supplies in occupied
territories, except where temporary restrictions are
made necessary by imperative military requirements.
Article 56
To the fullest extent of the means available to
it, the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring and
maintaining, with the cooperation of national and
local authorities, the medical and hospital
establishments and services, public health and hygiene
in the occupied territory, with particular reference
to the adoption and application of the prophylactic
and preventive measures necessary to combat the spread
of contagious diseases and epidemics. Medical
personnel of all categories shall be allowed to carry
out their duties.
If new hospitals are
set up in occupied territory and if the competent
organs of the occupied State are not operating there,
the occupying authorities shall, if necessary, grant
them the recognition provided for in Article 18. In
similar circumstances, the occupying authorities shall
also grant recognition to hospital personnel and
transport vehicles under the provisions of Articles 20
and 21.
In adopting measures
of health and hygiene and in their implementation, the
Occupying Power shall take into consideration the
moral and ethical susceptibilities of the population
of the occupied territory.
Of course, under
international humanitarian conventions Australia has
an obligation to supply such requisites to its own
citizens as well as to its Subjects through invasion,
conquest and forcible occupation of other countries.
However it is noteworthy that no Treaty was ever
signed by the invading Europeans with the conquered
Indigenous Peoples of Australia.
B. Various US Alliance, NATO, EU,
Australia, New Zealand and UK involvement in
Palestinian Genocide, Iraqi Genocide, Afghan Genocide,
Muslim Genocide, Aboriginal Genocide, Biofuel Genocide
and Climate Genocide
Details of various
US Alliance, NATO, EU, Australia, New Zealand and UK
involvements in the ongoing Palestinian Genocide,
Iraqi Genocide, Afghan Genocide, Muslim Genocide,
Aboriginal Genocide, Biofuel Genocide and Climate
Genocide, that are the evidential basis of my formal
complaint to the International Criminal Court, can be
found in a series of carefully researched and
extensively documented websites, the contents of which
are summarized below together with a summary of
national culpabilities. These websites also include
documented statements from leading scholars and
writers who use the terminology of “holocaust” and
“genocide” in relation to these atrocities.
1. Palestinian Holocaust, Palestinian
Genocide (0.3
million post-invasion violent and non-violent excess
deaths, 0.2 million post-invasion under-5 infant
deaths, 7 million refugees): http://sites.google.com/site/palestiniangenocide/
.
Details
In 1880 there were 500,000 Indigenous Arab
Palestinians and 25,000 Jews (50% immigrants) in the
Holy Land – today there are 5.5 million Indigenous
Palestinians in the Holy Land and some 5.5 million
Palestinian refugees elsewhere and excluded from their
Homeland, which is occupied by 5.5 million Jewish
Israelis backed by the US, UK, Canada, the EU and
Australia. 1.5 million Israeli Arabs are second class
citizens under race-based laws. 4 million abusively
imprisoned Occupied Palestinians have essentially no
human rights – while the World looks on. In the 2006
Occupied Palestinian Territory elections conducted
under Occupier guns, Hamas won 76 seats out of 132 but
these Hamas MPs are now overwhelmingly either dead,
imprisoned or hiding in the Gaza Concentration Camp
and regarded as “terrorists” by the US, UK, Canada,
the EU and Australia. UN data reveal that each year
Israel is responsible for 3,600 Occupied Palestinian
under-5 year old avoidable deaths, 5,700 Occupied
Palestinian non-violent avoidable deaths and about 800
violent Occupied Palestinian deaths. The Palestinian
Genocide has been associated with 0.3 million
post-invasion violent and non-violent excess deaths,
0.2 million post-invasion under-5 infant deaths, and 7
million refugees. In December 2008- January 2009 the
Israelis killed 1,400 Gazans (40% of them children) in
reprisals for zero (0) Israeli deaths from Gaza
missiles in the previous year. The Palestinian
Genocide continues despite numerous UN General
Assembly and UN Security Council Resolutions, notably
UN Security Council Resolution 252 prohibiting land
and property seizure, notably in Jerusalem
Culpability The ongoing
Palestinian Genocide is effected by the race-based,
nuclear terrorist, anti-Arab anti-Semitic, colonial
state of Israel with US, UK, EU, New Zealand, Canadian
and Australian complicity through support that is
variously financial, military, diplomatic and/or
legislative. Thus the US is a major provider of
military aid to Israel and its Security Council veto
and support for Israel means that Israel can defy all
UN Resolutions with impunity. At the other extreme,
Australia has declared Hamas to be a terrorist
organization (noting that Hamas won 76 out of 132
seats in the 2006 Occupied Palestinian Territory
elections with the US- and Israel-backed Fatah winning
43), permits free passage to Israeli war criminals,
makes Muslim religious zakkat alms-giving obligations
to Gaza potentially criminal, and has made financial
donations towards the ongoing Palestinian Genocide tax
deductible.
2. Afghan Holocaust, Afghan Genocide
(4.5 million post-invasion violent and
non-violent excess deaths, 2.4 million post-invasion
under-5 infant deaths, 3-4 million refugees plus 2.5
million NW Pakistan Pashtun refugees):
http://sites.google.com/site/afghan
holocaustafghangenocide/ .
Details As of
mid-December 2009, it is estimated from the latest UN
Population Division data that in Occupied Afghanistan
post-invasion non-violent excess deaths total 3.4
million; post-invasion violent deaths total 1.1
million (assuming expert US-Australian advice that the
level of violence has been 4 times lower in the Afghan
War than in the Iraq War); post-invasion violent and
non-violent avoidable deaths total 4.5 million; and
post-invasion under-5 infant deaths total 2.4 million
(90% avoidable and due to US Alliance war crimes in
gross violence of the Geneva Convention – Articles 55
and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the
Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War demand
that an Occupier must supply life-sustaining food and
medical requisites “to the fullest extent of the means
available to it” (see: http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/instree/y4gcpcp.htm
) but according to the WHO (see: http://www.who.int/countries/en/
) the “total annual expenditure on health per capita”
permitted in Occupied Afghanistan is $29 as compared
to $6,714 in Occupier US and $3,122 in Occupier
Australia).
There are 3-4 million Afghan refugees plus a further
2.5 million Pashtun refugees generated in NW Pakistan
by the war policies of Obama – this carnage involving
4.5 million post-invasion violent and non-violent
excess Afghan deaths constitutes an Afghan Holocaust
and an Afghan Genocide as defined by Article 2 of the
UN Genocide Convention (see: http://www.edwebproject.org/
sideshow/genocide/convention.html ).
The bottom line in any comparative analysis of violent
wrongdoing is consequential death. The current "annual
death rate" is 7% for Occupied Afghan under-5 year old
infants under the US Alliance - as compared to that of
4% (for Poles under the Nazis in WW2), 5% (French Jews
under the Nazis and the Nazi-collaborator Vichy régime
in WW2), 13% (Australian POWs of the Japanese in WW2)
and 19% (Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe) (see “Polish
Holocaust (1939-1945)-Afghan Holocaust (2001-)”:
http://gpolya.polls.newsvine.com/_news/
2009/09/02/3218030-polish-holocaust-1939-
1945-afghan-holocaust-2001-?groupId=1191 .
Culpability
The ongoing Afghan Genocide is effected by the
US Alliance in Occupied Afghanistan and NW Pakistan,
this US Alliance involving primarily the US, NATO
(notably France, Germany, Italy, Canada and the
Netherlands), the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
3. Iraqi Holocaust, Iraqi Genocide
(2.5 million post-invasion violent and
non-violent excess deaths, 0.9 million post-invasion
under-5 infant deaths, 5-6 million refugees;
1990-2009, 4.4 million violent and non-violent excess
deaths, 2.1 million under-5 infant deaths): http://sites.google.com/site/iraqiholocaustiraqigenocide/
.
Details
As of December 2009, deaths from the Iraq War
since 2003 include 2.5 million violent and non-violent
excess deaths of Indigenous Iraqis (4.4 million since
1990; see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/34979/42/ )
and post-2003 US Alliance deaths total 4,689 (see:
http://icasualties.org/oif/ ).
According to the
2006 Revision UN Population Division data, medical
literature data, and other authoritative sources, the
Iraqi Holocaust has been associated with 1.1 million
post-invasion non-violent avoidable deaths; 1.4
million violent post-invasion deaths; and 0.9 million
post-invasion under-5 infant deaths (90% avoidable and
due to gross US Coalition violation of the Articles 55
and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the
Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War which
demand that an Occupier supplies food and medical
requisites to “the fullest extent of the means
available to it.” In addition, avoidable deaths under
Sanctions (1990-2003) totalled 1.7 million, violent
deaths in the Gulf War totalled 0.2 million and
under-5 infant deaths under Sanctions totalled 1.2
million. Iraqi refugees (both inside and outside Iraq)
total 5-6 million.
The ongoing Iraqi Holocaust (1990-2009) involves 1.6
million violent deaths, 2.8 million non-violent excess
deaths, 4.4 million violent and non-violent excess
deaths, 1.9 million avoidable under-5 year old infant
deaths and 5-6 million refugees – an Iraqi Genocide
according to the UN Genocide Convention.
Culpability
The ongoing Iraqi Genocide is effected by the
US Alliance, most notably the US, UK and Australia
(but with involvement of other countries as well). In
addition it is estimated that Australian AWB violation
of the UN Oil for Food Program under Sanctions had the
effect of killing up to about 20,000 Iraqi infants
(see: http://gpolya.newsvine.com/_news/2006/03/08/
124591-australian-greens-senator-exposes-human-
cost-of-awb-iraq-kick-back-scandal-21000-iraqi-infant-deaths
).
4. Muslim Holocaust Muslim Genocide
(billions of avoidable deaths from deprivation
and violence in the pre-war European colonial era (1.8
billion avoidable deaths in the British Indian
Holocaust, about 20% of them Muslims); 6-7 million
Indian deliberately starved to death by the British in
the WW2 Bengali Holocaust, the 1943-1945 man-made
Bengal Famine, this killing many Muslims and
constituting a “forgotten” WW2 Muslim Holocaust; 0.6
billion Muslim avoidable deaths from deprivation in
the post-war colonial and post-colonial era,
1950-2005; 9 million violent and non-violent excess
deaths in the Palestinian Holocaust, 1948-2010, Iraqi
holocaust, 1990-2010, and Afghan Holocaust, 2001-2010;
3 billion Muslims predicted to perish in the Climate
Genocide of non-Europeans due unaddressed, man-made
global warming, as detailed in section 7 below) :
http://sites.google.com/site/
muslimholocaustmuslimgenocide/ .
Further details Muslims
have been subject to horrendous mass murder events,
such as the mass murder of the people of Jerusalem by
the Crusaders on 15 July 1099 - more than 70,000 dead
bodies of Muslim children and women were found in the
Mosque of Omar in Jerusalem alone. In the13th century
the Mongols under Genghis Khan killed millions in Iraq
and adjoining. regions. In 1492 millions of Muslims
(and Jews) were killed or expelled from Spain, putting
an end to the brilliant civilization of Moorish Spain.
Millions of Muslims were killed in subsequent
centuries due to expansion of the Russian Empire in
Asia, the British Empire in Asia and Africa, the
French Empire in Asia and Africa, the Spanish Empire
in Asia and Africa, the Portuguese Empire in Africa
and Asia and the Dutch Empire in South East Asia
(principally in what is now Indonesia). For detailed
and documented account of these atrocities see Gideon
Polya, “Body Count, Global avoidable mortality since
1950) (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2007) (for details of
the book see: http://mwcnews.net/Gideon-Polya and
http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/ ) .
Culpability
Those responsible for the colonial,
post-colonial, and neo-colonial carnage have been
European colonial powers. As detailed below in section
7, 73% of post-1751 additional atmospheric CO2
pollution is due to European countries, principally
the US, the UK, and other European countries,
including Australia, New Zealand, Canada and EU
countries also variously complicit in the ongoing
Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Genocides.
5. Aboriginal Genocide
(Indigenous population dropped from about 1
million to 0.1 million in the first century after the
invasion in 1788, mainly through violence,
dispossession, deprivation and introduced disease;
systematic genocidal 20th century policy involving the
removal of perhaps 0.1 million children from their
mothers; 9,000 Indigenous Australians die avoidably
each year due to egregious neglect): http://sites.google.com/site/aboriginalgenocide/
.
Details
Australian Aborigines suffered Genocide at the
hands of the European invaders in the 19th and 20th
centuries. The Indigenous population dropped from
about 1 million to 0.1 million in the first century
after the invasion in 1788, mainly through violence,
dispossession, deprivation and introduced disease. The
last massacres of Aborigines occurred in the 1920s.
Throughout much of the 20th century there was a policy
of forcibly removing Aboriginal children from their
mothers, a systematic genocidal policy involving the
removal of perhaps 0.1 million children. This practice
ended in the 1970s. However the continued deliberate
deprivation of Aboriginal Australians amounts to a
White Australian policy of passive genocide.
The “annual death
rate” (2003 figures) is 2.2% (for Aboriginal
Australians) and 2.4% (for Aboriginal Australians in
the Northern Territory) – as compared to 0.4% (what it
should be), 2.5% (for pre-drought sheep in paddocks of
Australian sheep farms), and 0.7% (for White
Australians). This is happening in one of the richest
countries of the world because of deliberate neglect –
Australian Aboriginal health services are funded at
50% of what they should be; many Australian Aborigines
live in Third World conditions; the “annual under-5
infant death rate” is over 3 times higher for
Aborigines than that for White Australians; 1 in 5
Australian Aborigines have diabetes (mostly type 2
diabetes) which has huge attendant problems such as
cardiovascular complications, kidney problems and
blindness; and the Australian Aboriginal life
expectancy is about 20 years less than that for White
Australians.
Indeed Monash
University diabetologist Professor Paul Zimmet stated
recently in relation to the world-wide diabetes
epidemic "If we don't do something, there is a real
chance that Australia's indigenous community will be
wiped out by the end of the century. The world needs
to act now if we're to deal with this problem, which
threatens to consume world economies and bankrupt
health systems. We are dealing with the biggest
epidemic in world history."
Culpability.
The Aboriginal Genocide is being deliberately,
knowingly and remorselessly effected by White
Australia, notwithstanding utterly hypocritical
declarations of non-racism and love for Indigenous
Australians. No Treaty was been signed by the UK or
Australia with any of the originally about 500
Indigenous Australian Peoples (260 languages). The
Australian Federal Court has found that Aboriginal
Genocide is not punishable under National Law although
it violates International Law to which Australia is a
signatory.
6. Biofuel Genocide (billions of
people in the Developing World, many of them Muslims,
threatened by Biofuel Famine from huge food price
rises due to legislatively mandated use of food to
generate biofuel for transport in the US, UK, EU and
other places): http://sites.google.com/site/biofuelgenocide/home
.
Details
Biofuel famine from global food price rises due
to competition between cars and people is threatening
biofuel genocide of billions of people in the
Developing World. As estimated from the latest UN
Population Division data, already 22 million people
die avoidably each year from deprivation and
deprivation-exacerbated disease and this is clearly
impacted by enormous cereal grain price rises
(see: http://sites.google.com/site
/biofuelgenocide/food-price-rise-1 ).
Culpability Major
culpability for the Biofuel Famine and Biofuel
Genocide rests with countries which have variously
legislatively mandated use of food-derived biofuel in
transport vehicles, notably the US, UK, EU, and
Australia (as well as some other countries).
7. Climate Holocaust, Climate Genocide
(man-made global warming increasingly impacts
the current 22 million annual avoidable deaths from
deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease;
estimates from top UK climate scientists Dr James
Lovelock and Professor Kevin Anderson point to 10
billion avoidable deaths this century due to
unaddressed global warming, this including 6 billion
infants, 3 billion Muslims in a near-terminal, 21st
century Muslim Holocaust, 2 billion Indians, 1.3
billion non-Arab Africans, 0.5 billion Bengalis, 0.3
billion Pakistanis and 0.3 billion Bangladeshis):
http://sites.google.com/site/climategenocide/ .
Details.
The carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in
the Earth’s atmosphere is already at 390 parts per
million (ppm) and CO2 concentration is increasing at
about 2 ppm per year; global average temperature is
already about 1oC above the pre-industrial and is now
increasing at about 0.25 oC per decade. Top climate
scientists say that we must reduce atmospheric CO2
concentration to about 300 ppm for a safe and
sustainable environment for all people and species
(see: http://sites.google.com/site/300orgsite/300-org
).
Both Dr James
Lovelock FRS (Gaia hypothesis) and Professor Kevin
Anderson ( Director, Tyndall Centre for Climate Change
Research, University of Manchester, UK) have recently
estimated that fewer than 1 billion people will
survive this century due to unaddressed, man-made
global warming – noting that the world population is
expected to reach 9.5 billion by 2050, these estimates
translate to a climate genocide involving deaths of 10
billion people this century, this including 6 billion
under-5 year old infants, 3 billion Muslims in a
terminal Muslim Holocaust, 2 billion Indians, 1.3
billion non-Arab Africans, 0.5 billion Bengalis, 0.3
billion Pakistanis and 0.3 billion Bangladeshis.
Already 22 million people die avoidably every year due
to deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease –
and man-made global warming is already clearly
worsening this global avoidable mortality holocaust.
However 10 billion avoidable deaths due to global
warming this century yields an average annual
avoidable death rate of 100 million per year for the
21st century.
Culpability.
Collective, national responsibility for
this already commenced Climate Holocaust is in direct
proportion to per capita national pollution of the
atmosphere with greenhouse gases (GHGs). Indeed,
fundamental to any international agreement on national
rights to pollute our common atmosphere and oceans
should be the belief that “all men are created equal”.
However reality is otherwise: “annual per capita
greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution” in units of “tonnes
CO2-equivalent per person per year” (2005-2008 data)
is 0.9 (Bangladesh), 0.9 (Pakistan), 2.2 (India), less
than 3 (many African and Island countries), 3.2 (the
Developing World), 5.5 (China), 6.7 (the World), 11
(Europe), 16 (the Developed World), 27 (the US) and 30
(Australia; or 54 if Australia’s huge Exported CO2
pollution is included) (see: http://bellaciao.org/en/spip.php?article19422
). Major culpability rests with the US Alliance, NATO,
EU, Australia, New Zealand and UK.
C. Summary.
This document
represents a formal complaint by Dr Gideon Polya to
the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal
Court re various US Alliance, NATO, EU, Australia, New
Zealand and UK involvement in Palestinian Genocide,
Iraqi Genocide, Afghan Genocide, Muslim Genocide,
Aboriginal Genocide, Biofuel Genocide and Climate
Genocide.
The leaders of the
US Alliance countries variously involved in these
genocidal atrocities notably include George Bush
Senior, Bill Clinton, George Bush Junior, Barack Obama,
Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Nicholas Sarkozy, Angela
Merkel, Stephen Harper, John Howard, and Kevin Rudd.
However a plethora of public servants, military
leaders and other national leaders are also involved.
In addition, one
notes the overwhelming majority of academics, public
servants and journalists who are “accessories after
the fact” in relation to these ongoing genocidal
atrocities through inaction, ignoring and obfuscation
of the immense realities documented above. Thus the
taxpayer-funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation
(ABC) is the most liberal and ethical of the
Mainstream media in Australia but a Search of the
“entire ABC site” reveals a scant and inexplicit 9
items in relation to the term “Aboriginal Genocide”, 3
items relating to the term “Aboriginal Holocaust” and
essentially zero (0) items in response to searches for
the terms “Palestinian Holocaust”, “Iraqi Holocaust”,
“Afghan Holocaust”, “Muslim Holocaust”, “Biofuel
Holocaust”, “Climate Holocaust”, “Palestinian
Genocide”, “Iraqi Genocide”, “Afghan Genocide”,
“Muslim Genocide”, “Biofuel Genocide” and “Climate
Genocide”.
I understand that
the International Criminal Court may be prepared to
make initial investigations of formal complaints by
individuals (such as this complaint) but will only act
to the fullest extent of its remit in response to
formal complaints by National Governments.
The overwhelmingly
most devastating future prospect is that current
deaths from global warming will remorselessly expand
to a 10 billion victim Climate Holocaust and Climate
Genocide this century from insufficiently addressed
man-made global warming. Countries at major risk from
sea level rises due to climate change include island
nations in the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean and the
Pacific (some of which face total extinction) and
countries with mega-deltas in Europe, Africa, the
Americas and Asia (of which some face catastrophic
loss of agriculture and massive population
displacements). Such Nations will be receiving copies
of this formal complaint and are urged to transmit
formal complaints to the International Criminal Court.
Formal complaints to the ICC are no doubt to be
expected from Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan after
the war criminal occupying forces and their Indigenous
puppets depart.
Yours sincerely,

Dr Gideon Polya
currently teaches science students at a major
Australian university. He published some 130 works in
a 5 decade scientific career, most recently a huge
pharmacological reference text "Biochemical Targets of
Plant Bioactive Compounds" (CRC Press/Taylor &
Francis, New York & London, 2003). He has recently
published “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality
since 1950” (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2007: http://mwcnews.net/Gideon-Polya
and http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/ ); see also
his contribution “Australian complicity in Iraq mass
mortality” in “Lies, Deep Fries & Statistics” (edited
by Robyn Williams, ABC Books, Sydney, 2007): http://www.abc.net.au/rn/science/
ockham/stories/s1445960.htm ). He has just published a
revised and updated 2008 version of his 1998 book
“Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History”
(see: http://janeaustenand.blogspot.com/ ) as biofuel-,
globalization- and climate-driven global food price
increases threaten a greater famine catastrophe than
the man-made famine in British-ruled India that killed
6-7 million Indians in the “forgotten” World War 2
Bengal Famine (see recent BBC broadcast involving Dr
Polya, Economics Nobel Laureate Professor Amartya Sen
and others: http://www.open2.net/thingsweforgot
/bengalfamine_programme.html ). When words fail one
can say it in pictures - for images of Gideon Polya’s
