face=Calibri>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. <SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Calibri size=3>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. </FONT></P>

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).<SPAN

accept my personal compliments. I have the honor hereby to file with
you and the International Criminal Court this Complaint against U.S. citizens
George W. Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenet, Condoleezza Rice
, and Alberto Gonzales (hereinafter referred to as the “Accused”) for
their criminal policy and practice of “extraordinary rendition.” This term is
really a euphemism for the enforced disappearances of persons, their torture,
severe deprivation of their liberty, their violent sexual abuse, and other
inhumane acts perpetrated upon these Victims. The Accused have inflicted
this criminal policy and practice of “extraordinary rendition” upon about one
hundred (100) human beings, almost all of whom are Muslims/Arabs/Asians and
People of Color. I doubt very seriously that the Accused would have
inflicted these criminal practices upon 100 White Judeo-Christian men.

7(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 Humanity of enforced disappearances of
persons constitutes ongoing criminal activity that continues even as of

Furthermore, I respectfully submit that this Complaint by itself constitutes “a

15(3). Hence, I also respectfully request that you formally “submit to the
Pre-Trial Chamber a request for authorization of an investigation” of the
Accused under Rome Statute article 15(3) at this time. Please inform me at
your earliest convenience about the status and disposition of my two requests
set forth immediately above.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><FONT
face=Calibri size=3>Based upon your extensive human rights work in Argentina,
you know full well from direct personal experience the terrors and the horrors
of enforced disappearances of persons and their consequent torture. According to
reputable news media sources here in the United States, about 100 human beings
have been subjected to enforced disappearances and subsequent torture by the
Accused. We still have no accounting for these Victims. In other words, many of
these Victims of enforced disappearances and torture by the Accused could still
be alive today. Their very lives are at stake right now as we communicate.
You could very well save some of their lives by publicly stating that you are
opening an investigation of my Complaint.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><FONT
face=Calibri size=3>As for those Victims of enforced disappearances by the
Accused who have died, your opening an investigation of my Complaint is the only
means by which we might be able to obtain some explanation and accounting for
their whereabouts and the location of their remains in order to communicate this
critical information to their next-of-kin and loved-ones. Based upon your
extensive experience combating enforced disappearances of persons and their
consequent torture in Argentina, you know full well how important that objective
is. The next-of-kin, loved-ones, and friends of “disappeared” human beings
can never benefit from psychological “closure” unless and until there is an
accounting for the fates, if not the remains, of the Victims. In part that
is precisely why the Accused’s enforced disappearances of about 100 human beings
constitutes ongoing criminal activity that continues as of today and will
continue until the fates of all their Victims have been officially determined by
you opening an investigation into my Complaint.</FONT></DIV>

face=Calibri size=3>Let us mutually suppose that during the so-called “dirty
war” in Argentina the International Criminal Court had been in existence.
I submit that as an Argentinean human rights lawyer you would have moved heaven
and earth and done everything in your power to get the I.C.C. and its Prosecutor
to assume jurisdiction over the Argentine Junta in order to terminate and
prosecute their enforced disappearances and torture of your fellow Argentinean
citizens. I would have done the same. Unfortunately, the I.C.C. did
not exist during those darkest of days for the Argentine Republic when we could
have so acted. But today as the I.C.C. Prosecutor, you have both the
opportunity and the legal power to do something to rectify this mass and total
human rights annihilation, and to resolve and to terminate and to prosecute the
“widespread” and “systematic” policy and practice of enforced disappearances and
consequent torture of about 100 human beings by the Accused. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><FONT
face=Calibri size=3>Unfortunately, the new Obama administration in the United
States has made it perfectly clear by means of public statements by President
Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder that they are not going to open any
criminal investigation of any of the Accused for these aforementioned Crimes
against Humanity. Hence an I.C.C. “case” against the Accused is
“admissible” under Rome Statute article 1(complementarity) and article 17.
As of right now <B>you</B> and the I.C.C. Judges are the only people in the
entire world who can bring some degree of Justice, Closure, and Healing into
this dire, tragic, and deplorable situation for the lives and well-being of
about one hundred “disappeared” and tortured human beings as well as for their
loved-ones and next-of-kin, who are also Victims of the Accused’s Crimes against
Humanity. On behalf of them all, as a fellow human rights lawyer I implore you
to open an investigation into my Complaint and to issue a public statement to
that effect. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><FONT
face=Calibri size=3> Also, most regretfully, the new Obama administration
has publicly stated that it will continue the Accused’s policy and practice of
"extraordinary rendition," which is really their euphemism for enforced
disappearances of human beings and consequent torture by other States.
Hence the Highest Level Officials of the Obama administration fully intend to
commit their own Crimes against Humanity under the I.C.C. Rome Statute – unless
you stop them! Your opening an investigation of my Complaint will
undoubtedly deter the Obama administration from engaging in any more
“extraordinary renditions” -- enforced disappearances of human beings and having
them tortured by other States. Indeed your opening of an investigation into my
Complaint might encourage the Obama administration to terminate its criminal
“extraordinary rendition” program immediately and thoroughly by means of issuing
a public statement to that effect. In other words, your opening an
investigation of my Complaint could very well save the lives of a large number
of additional human beings who otherwise will be subjected by the Obama
administration to the Rome Statute Crimes against Humanity of enforced
disappearances of persons and their consequent torture by other States, inter
alia.</FONT></DIV>
