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

<span class="text">January 19, 2010</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Dear Sir:</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Please accept my personal compliments. I have the honor hereby to file with you and the International Criminal
</span><br>
<span class="text">Court this Complaint against U.S. citizens George W. Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenet,
</span><br>
<span class="text">Condoleezza Rice , and Alberto Gonzales (hereinafter referred to as the “Accused”) for their criminal policy and
</span><br>
<span class="text">practice of “extraordinary rendition.” This term is really a euphemism for the enforced disappearancesof
</span><br>
<span class="text">persons, their torture, severe deprivation of their liberty, their violent sexual abuse, and other inhumane acts
</span><br>
<span class="text">perpetrated upon these Victims. The Accused have inflicted this criminal policy and practice of “extraordinary
</span><br>
<span class="text">rendition” upon about one hundred (100) human beings, almost all of whom are Muslims/Arabs/Asians and
</span><br>
<span class="text">People of Color. I doubt very seriously that the Accused would have inflicted these criminal practices upon 100
</span><br>
<span class="text">White Judeo-Christian men.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">The Accused’s criminal policy and practice of “extraordinary rendition” are both “widespread” and “systematic”
</span><br>
<span class="text">within the meaning of Rome Statute article 7(1). Therefore the Accused have committed numerous “Crimes
</span><br>
<span class="text">against Humanity” in flagrant and repeated and longstanding violation of Rome Statute articles 5(1)(b), 7(1)(a), 7</span><br>
<span class="text">(1)(e), 7(1)(f), 7(1)(g), 7(1)(h), 7(1)(i), and 7(1)(k). Furthermore, the Accused’s Rome Statute Crimes Against
</span><br>
<span class="text">Humanity of enforced disappearances of persons constitutes ongoing criminal activity that continues even as of
</span><br>
<span class="text">today.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">The United States is not a contracting party to the Rome Statute. Nevertheless, the Accused ordered and were
</span><br>
<span class="text">responsible for the commission of these I.C.C. statutory crimes on, in, and over the respective territories of
</span><br>
<span class="text">several I.C.C. member states, including many located in Europe. Therefore, the I.C.C. has jurisdiction over the
</span><br>
<span class="text">Accused for their I.C.C. statutory crimes in accordance with Rome Statute article 12(2)(a), which provides as
</span><br>
<span class="text">follows:</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Article 12</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Preconditions to the Exercise of Jurisdiction</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">…</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">2. In the case of article 13, paragraph (a) or (c), the Court may exercise its jurisdiction if one or more of the
</span><br>
<span class="text">following States are Parties to this Statute or have accepted the jurisdiction of the Court in accordance with
</span><br>
<span class="text">paragraph 3:</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span class="text">(a) The State on the territory of which the conduct in question occurred …</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">So the fact that United States is not a contracting party to the Rome Statute is no bar to the I.C.C.’s prosecution
</span><br>
<span class="text">of the Accused because they have ordered and been responsible for the commission of Rome Statute Crimes
</span><br>
<span class="text">against Humanity on, in, and over the respective </span><br>
<span class="text">territories of several I.C.C. member states.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Consequently, I hereby respectfully request that the Court exercise its jurisdiction over the Accused for these
</span><br>
<span class="text">Crimes against Humanity in accordance with Rome Statute article 13(c), which provides as follows:</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Article 13</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Exercise of Jurisdiction</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">The Court may exercise its jurisdiction with respect to a crime referred to in article 5 in accordance with the
</span><br>
<span class="text">provisions of this Statute if:</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">…</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">(c) The Prosecutor has initiated an investigation in respect of such a crime in accordance with article 15.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Pursuant to Rome Statute article 13(c), I hereby respectfully request that you initiate an investigation proprio
</span><br>
<span class="text">motu against the Accused in accordance with Rome Statute article 15(1): “The Prosecutor may initiate
</span><br>
<span class="text">investigations proprio motu on the basis of information on crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court.” My detailed
</span><br>
<span class="text">Complaint against the Accused constitutes the sufficient “information” required by article 15(1).</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Furthermore, I respectfully submit that this Complaint by itself constitutes “a reasonable basis to proceed with an
</span><br>
<span class="text">investigation” under Rome Statute article 15(3). Hence, I also respectfully request that you formally “submit to
</span><br>
<span class="text">the Pre-Trial Chamber a request for authorization of an investigation” of the Accused under Rome Statute article
</span><br>
<span class="text">15(3) at this time. Please inform me at your earliest convenience about the status and disposition of my two
</span><br>
<span class="text">requests set forth immediately above.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Based upon your extensive human rights work in Argentina, you know full well from direct personal experience
</span><br>
<span class="text">the terrors and the horrors of enforced disappearances of persons and their consequent torture. According to
</span><br>
<span class="text">reputable news media sources here in the United States, about 100 human beings have been subjected to
</span><br>
<span class="text">enforced disappearances and subsequent torture by the Accused. We still have no accounting for these
</span><br>
<span class="text">Victims. In other words, many of these Victims of enforced disappearances and torture by the Accused could still
</span><br>
<span class="text">be alive today. Their very lives are at stake right now as we communicate. You could very well save some of
</span><br>
<span class="text">their lives by publicly stating that you are opening an investigation of my Complaint.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">As for those Victims of enforced disappearances by the Accused who have died, your opening an investigation
</span><br>
<span class="text">of my Complaint is the only means by which we might be able to obtain some explanation and accounting for
</span><br>
<span class="text">their whereabouts and the location of their remains in order to communicate this critical information to their next-</span><br>
<span class="text">of-kin and loved-ones. Based upon your extensive experience combating enforced disappearances of persons
</span><br>
<span class="text">and their consequent torture in Argentina, you know full well how important that objective is. The next-of-kin,
</span><br>
<span class="text">loved-ones, and friends of “disappeared” human beings can never benefit
</span><br>
<span class="text">from psychological “closure” unless and until there is an accounting for the fates, if not the remains, of the
</span><br>
<span class="text">Victims. In part that is precisely why the Accused’s enforced disappearances of about 100 human beings
</span><br>
<span class="text">constitutes ongoing criminal activity that continues as of today and will continue until the fates of all their Victims
</span><br>
<span class="text">have been officially determined by you opening an investigation into my Complaint.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Let us mutually suppose that during the so-called “dirty war” in Argentina the International Criminal Court had
</span><br>
<span class="text">been in existence. I submit that as an Argentinean human rights lawyer you would have moved heaven and
</span><br>
<span class="text">earth and done everything in your power to get the I.C.C. and its Prosecutor to assume jurisdiction over the
</span><br>
<span class="text">Argentine Junta in order to terminate and prosecute their enforced disappearances and torture of your fellow
</span><br>
<span class="text">Argentinean citizens. I would have done the same. Unfortunately, the I.C.C. did not exist during those darkest of
</span><br>
<span class="text">days for the Argentine Republic when we could have so acted. But today as the I.C.C. Prosecutor, you have
</span><br>
<span class="text">both the opportunity and the legal power to do something to rectify this mass and total human rights annihilation,
</span><br>
<span class="text">and to resolve and to terminate and to prosecute the “widespread” and “systematic” policy and practice of
</span><br>
<span class="text">enforced disappearances and consequent torture of about 100 human beings by the Accused.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Unfortunately, the new Obama administration in the United States has made it perfectly clear by means of public
</span><br>
<span class="text">statements by President Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder that they are not going to open any
</span><br>
<span class="text">criminal investigation of any of the Accused for these aforementioned Crimes against Humanity. Hence an I.C.C.
</span><br>
<span class="text">“case” against the Accused is “admissible” under Rome Statute article 1(complementarity) and article 17. As of
</span><br>
<span class="text">right now you and the I.C.C. Judges are the only people in the entire world who can bring some degree of
</span><br>
<span class="text">Justice, Closure, and Healing into this dire, tragic, and deplorable situation for the lives and well-being of about
</span><br>
<span class="text">one hundred “disappeared” and tortured human beings as well as for their loved-ones and next-of-kin, who are
</span><br>
<span class="text">also Victims of the Accused’s Crimes against Humanity. On behalf of them all, as a fellow human rights lawyer I
</span><br>
<span class="text">implore you to open an investigation into my Complaint and to issue a public statement to that effect.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Also, most regretfully, the new Obama administration has publicly stated that it will continue the Accused’s policy
</span><br>
<span class="text">and practice of "extraordinary rendition," which is really their euphemism for enforced disappearances of human
</span><br>
<span class="text">beings and consequent torture by other States. Hence the Highest Level Officials of the Obama administration
</span><br>
<span class="text">fully intend to commit their own Crimes against Humanity under the I.C.C. Rome Statute – unless you stop them!
</span><br>
<span class="text">Your opening an investigation of my Complaint will undoubtedly deter the Obama administration from engaging
</span><br>
<span class="text">in any more “extraordinary renditions” -- enforced disappearances of human beings and having them tortured
</span><br>
<span class="text">by other States. Indeed your opening of an investigation into my Complaint might encourage the Obama
</span><br>
<span class="text">administration to terminate its criminal “extraordinary rendition” program immediately and thoroughly by means
</span><br>
<span class="text">of issuing a public statement to that effect. In other words, your opening an investigation of my Complaint could
</span><br>
<span class="text">very well save the lives of a large number of additional human beings who otherwise will be subjected by the
</span><br>
<span class="text">Obama administration to the Rome Statute Crimes against Humanity of enforced disappearances of persons
</span><br>
<span class="text">and their consequent torture by other States, inter alia.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">The lives and well-being of countless human beings are now at risk, hanging in the balance, waiting for you to
</span><br>
<span class="text">act promptly, effectively, and immediately to save them from becoming Victims of Rome Statute Crimes against
</span><br>
<span class="text">Humanity perpetrated by the Highest Level Officials of the Obama administration as successors-in-law to the
</span><br>
<span class="text">Accused by opening an investigation of my Complaint. Otherwise, I shall be forced to file with you and the I.C.C.
</span><br>
<span class="text">a follow-up Complaint against the Highest Level Officials of the Obama administration. I certainly hope it will not
</span><br>
<span class="text">come to that. Please make it so.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Finally, for reasons more fully explained in the Conclusion to my Complaint, I respectfully request that you obtain
</span><br>
<span class="text">I.C.C. arrest warrants for the Accused in accordance with Rome Statute articles 58(1)(a), article 58(1)(b)(i),
</span><br>
<span class="text">article 58(1)(b)(ii), and article 58(1)(b)(iii). The sooner, the better for all humankind.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">I respectfully request that you schedule a meeting with me at our earliest mutual convenience in order to discuss
</span><br>
<span class="text">this Complaint. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">This transmission letter is an integral part of my Complaint against the Accused and is hereby incorporated by
</span><br>
<span class="text">reference into the attached Complaint dated as of today as well.</span><br>
