At
the16.04.2015, Kevin Annett has given us an interview on the ITCCS
and on the residential schools in Canada. Kevin Annett has become,
during his then occupation as a reverend for the United Church of
Canada via talks with parishioners, aware of the crimes, which had
been done in the compulsory residential schools („Indian
residential schools“) against Indian children in Canada for more
than 100 years until their closure in 1996, and which have cost the
lives of about 50,000 Indian children during that time. In May 2010,
he has founded together with groups from Ireland, England, USA,
Canada, and Italy, the ITCCS. It has the aim to hold the Vatican,
further churches, and governments responsible for crimes against
children and against humanity. According to their own statement, the
ITCCS has, until 2013, been represented in 26 countries. The judicial
arm of the ITCCS is the „International Common Law Court of
Justice“ (ICLCJ), a non-governmental court on common law basis.
Regarding the „Indian residential schools“, it has investigated
against persons from Canada, Great Britain, and the Vatican, and has
published judgements.
The
Canadian residential schools have had in their beginning a very high
death rate particularly by diseases and insufficient nutrition, but
aso by direct violence including abuse, maltreatment, and murder,
which has significantly declined later, which hints at a change of
strategy away from eradication to assimilation. An essential motive
for taking away the children has been land grabbing, also in view of
timber and mineral resources. Even Indian chiefs and (regarding fled
children) the Canadian police had been involved in the system of
persecution and assimilation against the Indian children, which does
not make easier the legal reappraisal within Canada. The land
grabbing exists, according to Kevin Annett, still today, and instead
of the residential schools, today the transfer of Indian children to
white-coloured foster families has an assimilating effect still
today. The Canadian indian act still imposes discriminating
restrictions on Indigenous people, e. g. regarding land ownership.
The
establishment of the Indian residential schools in Canada had been
based on a law, which had been introduced by the British Privy
Council into the Canadian parliament. The British Queen is the head
of state in Canada. The residential schools have been run by the
Catholic Church, by the Anglican Church, and by the United Church.
The
Catholic Church has, according to Kevin Annett, since at least 1929,
had the policy „Crimen soli Satanis“, according to which victims
and priests have to remain silent regarding child abuses within scope
of the church. In this sense, the ICLCJ has found the former pope
Benedikt XVI. as guilty for having impeded the prosecution against
such crimes.
The
ICLCJ sees its legal basis in the common law, a legal tradition
particularly in the Anglo-Saxon tradition, and which has come
originally from a Saxon tribal tradition. The ICLCJ requires for the
admission of cases the proof, that the regularly responsible judicial
system of the state does not care for the investigation of the
supected / presumable crimes. Before they have brought the case of
the Indian residential schools in Canada before the ICLCJ, Kevin
Annett and his colleagues have tried for 15 years, to put through,
that the prosecution takes places within Canada. And the Canadian
truth and reconciliation commission is restricted in its
capabilities, it even cannot enforce the appearance of persons, in
order to at least put through the full information of the public. The
case could not be taken to the International Criminal Court at The
Haague, because it is only responsible for the prosecution of crimes,
which have been done from the 01.07.2002 on, and most of the actions,
which here could be part of a genocide and a crime against humanity
against Indian children in Canada, have been done until inclusively
1996.
Der
ICLCJ has found several church organizations and governmental
organizations like the British Crown as such to be guilty and has
found them to be criminal organizations. That is a significant
difference to the International Criminal Court, which can only
sentence each perpetrator, who has participated in crimes, for whose
prosecution the court is responsible. For the conviction of
organizations, the ICLCJ refers to the Nurembourg Principles and to
the UN resolution against transnational criminal organizations.
The
ICLCJ claims universal jurisdiction, while even the International
Criminal Court is geographically restricted depending on which states
have ratified the Roman Statute, on which it relies.
A
glance into the 6 Nourembourg Principles shows, that they do not
contain any statement on the existence of a collective guilt under
criminal law, but on the guilt of even recipients of orders, and on
guilt under international criminal law, even if laws of the state
have legalized actions, which are crimes under international law.
One
of the focuses of the UN convention against the transnational
organized crime is the fight against human trafficking. The
definition of the „organized criminal group“ (art. 2 lit. a of
the convention) as a structured group of 3 or more persons, which
exists for some time and aims at committing one or several crimes
named in the convention, shows, that the treaty parties of the
convention have rather had in view transnational mafia-like
organizations of various sizes, but an inclusion of organizations
under public law is also not explicitely excluded. Art. 4 of the
convention, however, protects explicitely the sovereign equality of
states and the territorial integrity of the states and the principle
of non-interference and the responsibility of the respective
governmental judicial systems.
The
Indian residential schools have also had a strong connection to the
child trafficking, so that Indian children have been exposed to
organized abuse. According to the ITCCS, such networks exist still
today, and they are a means of the systematical creation of
extortability of Canadian politicians and judges. That is one
commercial branch of the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta mafia, which,
according to Kevin Annett, delivers children even for satanic rituals
and for medical experiments.
This
kind of mafia secures, in addition to that, its influence and its
protection, by systematically letting its people marray persons of
the judicial area.
Interesting
on the 'Ndrangheta is also the published testimony by the witness
Anne Marie van Blijenburgh from the Netherlands, who has testified to
be the wife of such a mafiosi. She has addresed herself to the ITCCS,
after she had not been able to reach a prosecution within the
Netherlands. According to her testimony, that mafia delivers children
for ritual sacrifices, which take place in Belgium, i.a. on the wish
of a Dutch Prince, and that also high-ranking Dutch politicians and
judges are invited to such disgusting rituals.
So
the 'Nrangheta seems to have reached an exortive influence on
decision in policy and judiciary of an up to now unknown size not
only in Canada, but also in the Netherlands.
The
Wikipedia entry in English language on the 'Ndrangheta confirms, i.
a., that it is active, i.a., in Canada and in the Netherands. A
structure within the 'Ndrangheta
named „La Santa“ is, according to Wikipedia and according to a
recension of the book „Mafia
Brotherhoods: Organized Crime, Italian Style“ (by Letizia Paoli,
published via New York: Oxford University Press, 2003)
also connected to the freemazonry.
