ICC judges issue arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin over alleged war crimes

Arrest warrants issued for Russian leader and his children’s rights commissioner for ‘unlawful deportation’ of Ukrainian children.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is a final appellate court for the prosecution of serious international crimes, such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Its treaty, the Rome Statute, was adopted in July 1998.  124 States have ratified the Rome Statute, but there are another 60 that have not done so - above all it is unfortunate that the United States is among them, as well as Russia, China, India, Israel and many African and Islamic countries.

 The Hague, Mar.17.– The international criminal court in The Hague has issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and his children’s rights commissioner, Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, for the “unlawful deportation” of Ukrainian children.

The court’s pre-trial judges assessed there were “reasonable grounds to believe that each suspect bears responsibility for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population and that of unlawful transfer of population from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation, in prejudice of Ukrainian children”.

El régimen venezolano ataca a la Corte Penal Internacional

Maduro pretende encubrir sus crímenes CICIVEN

La Haya, Mar.1.– El Comité Internacional Contra la Impunidad en Venezuela (CICIVEN), rechaza en todas sus partes el comunicado que con fecha 28 de febrero hizo circular el régimen de Maduro, quien da “carácter político al proceso iniciado en la CPI para acusar a Venezuela de supuestos crímenes de lesa humanidad”, lo cual denota ignorancia o deseo de engañar; la acusada no es Venezuela, los crímenes no los cometen los Estados o las personas jurídicas, sino las personas naturales, funcionarios en ejercicio de su cargo o personas en línea de mando que, abusando del poder, violan grave y sistemáticamente los derechos humanos; la acusada no es la República de Venezuela, los denunciados son Nicolás Maduro y quienes con él, con nombres específicos, integran la cadena de mando civil y militar.

Estamos a escasos días del 7 de marzo, cuando concluye el lapso otorgado por la Corte Penal Internacional para que las víctimas de los crímenes de lesa humanidad del régimen de Venezuela, expresen ante la misma, por Internet u otra vía, los hechos acontecidos y manifiesten si desean o no que el Fiscal-Jefe y la CPI continúen el proceso contra Nicolás Maduro y la cadena de mando que él encabeza. Ahora el imputado pretende ocultar la verdad atacando e insultando, afirma que son víctimas de una “agresión mediática” y arremete contra la Corte y el Fiscal Karim Khan.

Católicos tradicionalistas se convierten en blanco del FBI

Richmond, VA, Feb.14 (DPnet).– El FBI ha provocado el escrutinio público de quienes razonablemente se inquietan por la forma en que están excediendo sus atribuciones después de haberse filtrado el 8 de febrero un documento interno obtenido por Kyle Seraphin, un antiguo agente del FBI, en el que la Oficina Federal de Investigaciones FBI contra católicos tradicionalistasacusa de extremistas a los católicos tradicionalistas y advierte que son una amenaza.

El documento (en inglés) se titula "El interés de los extremistas violentos motivados racial o étnicamente en la ideología católica radical-tradicionalista casi seguramente presenta nuevas oportunidades de mitigación". El texto elabora la necesidad de vigilar a los "violentos extremistas católicos motivados por prejuicios raciales y étnicos" y los acusa de "tendencias antisemitas, antiinmigrantes, anti LGTBQ+ y promotoras de la ideología blanca supremacista".

El documento señala claramente a los Católicos "tradicionalistas" como fanáticos opuestos al aborto y a la comunidad LGTBQ+ y propone su radical eliminación.
