Cry of conscience from Syria ,
Through public letter to UN and prosecutor General of the international criminal court
two months ago we have submitted issue in front of the prosecutor General of the international criminal court, That based to the Rome statute article 15/1, asking him begin investigation related to the massacres occurred by Syrian regime against Syrian civilian population,
Where the court has sent us, they had been registered the case, and sent us reference number. (The court reference no.)
Where, today the number of dead reached up to 1100 civilian persons, included more than 25 children,
But, unfortunately, the UN, and international criminal court, still happy to watch this massacres,
Therefore, we wonder
If there is still a conscience, in the hearts of those officials at the judicial institutions of the United Nations,
Legally, the case has been submitted based on the following legal articles and elements:
Article 5.b; Crimes against humanity Rome statute,
And the principles of the international humanitarian law “IHL",
- (GC IV, Art.32 ` AP I 75) prohibition of murder, torture, corporal punishment, rape.
- (GC IV, Art, 34 ` AP I 75) prohibition of taking hostages.
