COURT COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST BUSH, CHENEY, RUMSFELD, TENET, RICE AND GONZALES;
INTERNATIONAL ARREST WARRANTS REQUESTED<BR><BR>Champaign, U.S.A./The Hague,
Netherlands (19 Jan 2010). -- Professor Francis A. Boyle of the University of
Illinois College of Law in Champaign, U.S.A. has filed a Complaint with the
Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (I.C.C.) in The Hague against
U.S. citizens George W. Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenet,
Condoleezza Rice, and Alberto Gonzales (the “Accused”) for their criminal policy
and practice of “extraordinary rendition” perpetrated upon about 100 human
beings. This term is really their euphemism for the enforced disappearance of
persons and their consequent torture. This criminal policy and practice by the
Accused constitute Crimes against Humanity in violation of the Rome Statute
establishing the I.C.C. <BR><BR>The United States is not a party to the Rome
Statute. Nevertheless the Accused have ordered and been responsible for the
commission of I.C.C. statutory crimes within the respective territories of many
I.C.C. member states, including several in Europe. Consequently, the I.C.C. has
jurisdiction to prosecute the Accused for their I.C.C. statutory crimes under
Rome Statute article 12(2)(a) that affords the I.C.C. jurisdiction to prosecute
for I.C.C. statutory crimes committed in I.C.C. member states. <BR><BR>The
Complaint requests (1) that the I.C.C. Prosecutor open an investigation of the
Accused on his own accord under Rome Statute article 15(1); and (2) that the
I.C.C. Prosecutor also formally “submit to the [I.C.C.] Pre-Trial Chamber a
request for authorization of an investigation” of the Accused under Rome Statute
article 15(3).<BR><BR>For similar reasons, the Highest Level Officials of the
Obama administration risk the filing of a follow-up Complaint with the I.C.C. if
they do not immediately terminate the Accused’s criminal policy and practice of
“extraordinary rendition,” which the Obama administration has continued to
implement.<BR><BR>The Complaint concludes with a request that the I.C.C.
Prosecutor obtain International Arrest Warrants for the Accused from the I.C.C.
in accordance with Rome Statute articles 58(1)(a), 58(1)(b)(i), 58(1)(b)(ii),
and 58(1)(b)(iii). <BR><BR>In order to demonstrate your support for this
Complaint you can contact the I.C.C. Prosecutor by letter, fax, or email as
indicated below. <BR><BR>Francis A. Boyle<BR>Professor of International
