#Justice4Syria: The joint legal actions of @ECCHRBerlin

The papers will be used in a macro-international trial just as soon as China and Russia stop boycotting the investigation into war crimes committed in Syria. But it will also be used to bolster current cases. An increasing number of the perpetrators are settling in Europe, masquerading as refugees. CIJA is offering evidence to the dozen countries trying to take them to court.

At the end of 2016, the UN General Assembly set up a framework for the Independent Investigation in Syria, also designed to analyze evidence of crimes and human rights abuses and to prepare judicial dossiers to support cases that are underway in national courts of justice.

They survived torture and detention in Syria and fled to Europe, where they now hope to obtain justice. Austrian authorities should follow the example set in Germany, Sweden and France and initiate investigations into systematic torture under Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. To help achieve this goal, on 29 May 2018, 16 women and men from Syria filed a criminal complaint with the prosecutor in Vienna. The group of torture survivors – which include an Austrian citizen and several people who were detained while still minors, and who have lived in Austria and Germany for some time – are filing the complaint together with ECCHR, the Syrian lawyer Anwar al-Bunni (Syrian Center for Legal Research and Studies) and Mazen Darwish (Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression) as well as the Center for the Enforcement of Human Rights International (CEHRI) in Vienna.

@ECCHRBerlin 10 years anniversary

IFC’s claimed immunity is fundamentally at odds with its anti-poverty mission

The IFC’s stated “mission is to fight poverty,” while doing “no harm” to people or the environment. The IFC developed its Sustainability Framework, which dictates the conditions of IFC involvement in projects and the obligations of both the borrower and of the IFC, to ensure that these projects promote positive development objectives while protecting local communities and the environment.

The Tata Mundra power plant project was supposed to provide affordable energy and improve the quality of life and standard of living of Gujarat’s poor. But the project has been, and remains, a failure. The project has failed to comply with the IFC’s Performance Standards and the other environmental and social conditions of the loan agreement, and it has pushed many of the surrounding communities further into poverty, made them sick, destroyed their means of supporting their families, and made their environment dirtier and more dangerous. It has also been a financial disaster, operating at a loss for its entire existence (the company announced last year it was trying to offload a majority of its shares for 1 rupee – less than 2 cents) and the company has sought to pass these costs off to consumers.

Not everything can go private

There’s a strong debate on the role of for-profit companies in some areas, particularly public services like education and health.

Kenyan civil society has raised serious concerns over the IFC’s role supporting Bridge International Academies, a chain of private schools with a troubling record. They’re not alone. Research into other for-profit school providersbacked by the IFC shows these schools don’t work for the poorest communities.

In the health sector, Oxfam found that the IFC’s billion-dollar “Health in Africa” initiative mostly went to expensive, high-end urban hospitals. This is even more troubling given that poor and rural communities are disproportionately made up of women and girls.

The Bank says it will expand the “cascade” approach to health and education, but we’re doubtful this will help increase access, equity and quality for such services. Instead of approaching this with a “private-first” ideology, the Bank should lay out the criteria for when it actually makes sense for the private sector to be involved.

How to raise the funds needed

So if the private sector isn’t appropriate for everything, where do resources come from, particularly for investments in human capital?

We’d like to see the Bank place even more emphasis on “domestic resource mobilization,” development-speak for how countries collect tax and other government revenue.

The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 that was crushed by Soviet troops…Two years later, the Anti-Rightist, the Great Leap Forward and Great Famine began in China, followed by the decade-long Cultural Revolution. Less than five years later, the Berlin Wall was constructed. Twelve years later, the Prague Spring, tanks in the streets again…And 33 years after Hungarian Revolution, so many innocent Tibetans and Chinese students and civilians were gunned down or crushed by tanks of Chinese troops in Lhasa, Beijing, Chengdu in the Lhasa Massacre and Tianamen Massacre 1989. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs, Tibetans and Mongols who were killed or jailed over the decades since the early 1950’s. And the Hong Kongers who were tear-gassed and beaten up by local police in 2014.

Yes, the Eastern Bloc and the Soviet Empire, the Berlin Wall have come down. Why are corrupt Communist Chinese officials feted by world government and corporate leaders? Now, in 2015, we’re sharing this post from the Facebook of Cuban dissident/ex-political prisoner Regis Iglesias Ramirez, who’s exiled in Spain. More than half a century — 59 years after the Hungarian Revolution, so many people are still being jailed and tortured in China, China-occupied countries and a handful of other Communist countries such as Vietnam, Cuba and North Korea for their beliefs, words or actions for freedom, independence and democracy… What can we do to stop the tanks of dictatorship? There must be a way…

ECCHR USES LAW TO RESPOND TO EU’S VIOLENT ISOLATION POLICIES

 INTERNATIONAL CRIMES AND ACCOUNTABILITY

The European Union’s brutal border policies place countless refugees and migrants at risk of death. The victims of patrols by Frontex, the EU border control agency, of abuse by the police forces of EU states and of violent push-backs are de facto deprived of any way to have their cases heard before European courts. Since 2014 ECCHR has been analyzing the legal foundations and the consequences of push-backs in the EU. Since February 2015 we have been assisting victims of various push-backs with legal action, the first cases taken under our new specialist division on migration. Potential legal action includes taking petitions to the European Court of Human Rights and domestic criminal proceedings in EU states.

The book was published in Chile in 1975 under the Chilean military government of Augusto Pinochet.

Crimes, Resistance and Legal Intervention

On 11 September 1973 the democratically elected socialist President Salvador Allende was ousted in a Chilean military coup led by junta leader Augusto Pinochet. This marked the beginning of the bloodiest military dictatorship – alongside with the military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983) – in Latin American history, during which thousands of people were murdered, tortured and kidnapped. Yet even through the years of greatest repression, left-wing parties and the inhabitants of Chile’s shanty towns continued to organize resistance against the regime. After a successful campaign by his opponents, Pinochet met his downfall in a referendum held in 1988, formally marking the end of his dictatorship. But even after the elections in 1989, Pinochet remained the dominant figure in Chilean political life. This changed only much later on when, on 16 October 1998, Pinochet was arrested in London.

We are delighted to invite you to our

OFFICE PARTY
in Zossener Str. 55-58 (Entrance D) in Berlin-Kreuzberg on
 
Saturday 10 November 2012 


8.00 pm Opening of the Exhibition and book presentation „El Hotel“
A photographic installation by Azul Blaseotto and Eduardo Molinari (Buenos Aires). In 1975, Hotel Carrasco in Montevideo, Uruguay, was the venue of the “XI. Conference of the American Armies”. During this event, which took place in a luxurious atmosphere and whose context remained obscure, strategic agreements for the future launch of “Operation Condor“ were concluded. This formed the basis of state terrorism that enabled the construction of the neoliberal net which haunts us until today.
