Campaign to take Bush to justice for crimes against humanity

At the 5th World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil, a campaign was launched today, Thursday, to take George W. Bush to justice for crimes against humanity.

Cebrapaz, the Brazilian organization, together with 35 other entities from around the world, launched a petition which it hopes will be signed by millions of people until September, when it will be presented to the UN General Assembly, with a detailed outline of the crimes committed.

The spokesperson of Cebrapaz, the Brazilian Centre of Solidarity of Peoples and Fighting for Peace, Socorro Gomes, stated today that the petition will remind the UNO that the forces of the USA invaded Iraq illegally, destroyed the infra-structures of the country and committed genocide.

"The US troops, with the consent of the president, instituted a regime of systematic torture as a method of war and domination", he claimed, adding that these acts go against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and as such constitute crimes against humanity.

  • And what will the U.N. do ? March into the White House and arrest Bush? Or better still, come back to General Assembly with a piece of paper that declares "peace in our time " ?

    C’mon guys, the only thing these conquistadors understand is money, gold, bling, cash, dollars. scratch, moola.........and I don’t mean Bush, I"m taking about the old boys who are pulling his strings. Why do you think the U.S. is constantly at war with somebody half a world away? Follow the money!

  • September will be too late to save Iran and Syria, probably North Korea, and the rest of our nuked world. Until somebody starts shooting directly at the criminals, they have no reason to duck from any thing nor anybody! Americans, call a neighbor or relative you can trust, then get together and talk; then have each neighbor or relative call a neighbor or relative they can trust, and have them get together and talk; then gather everyone that can be trusted together and make plans! As long as we all just stand around and piss and moan, the bastards are never going to stop; right? So let’s get it TOGETHER, people, and BRING IT ON!
