[chottala.com] The Coming China-India Conflict: Is War Inevitable?



The Coming China-India Conflict: Is War Inevitable?

It wouldn't first be open war. China and India are building up their interests in conflict-prone and unstable states on their borders like Nepal and Burma — important sources of natural resources. If something goes wrong in these countries — if the politics implode — you could see the emergence of proxy wars in Asia. Distrust between India and China will grow and so too security concerns in a number of arenas. It's an important scenario that strategic planners in both Beijing and Delhi are looking at.

[chottala.com] Ten reasons why WC tribunal bound to be a Kangaroo court?



You may find it interesting:
 
 
By Dr. Abu Rawsab
 
The Evidence Act [1872 (I of 1872)] and the Criminal Procedure Code [1898 (V of 1898)] application have been excluded by section 23 of the International Crimes (Tribunal) Act, 1973. Therefore, newspaper reports and hearsay evidence will be accepted.
 
2.       International Bar Association (IBA) has found out at least 17 loopholes in International Crimes (Tribunal) Act, 1973. The act does not guarantee any free and fair justice and protection for the convicted ones.
 
3.      Most of the judges and prosecutors are former party men of ruling coalition and hardcore supporters of the current regime, according to various authentic reports.
 
4.      Te tribunal will try 'crime against humanity' rather than 'war crime'. Crimes against humanity described in section 3(2)(a) are very easy to prove through producing false witness-evidences in a domestic perspective and international community may be deceived.  On the other hand, section 3(2)(d) describes 'war crimes' which will be very difficult to prove, as all players including India, Pakistan, Mukti-bahini all will come under the purview of the established (and clear) international standard of law. 'War', 'insurgency', 'civil war' and other related terms will play a huge legal role in case of 'war crime'. It is easy to manipulate a witness for 'crime against humanity' than for 'war crime'.
 
5.      The Ghatok Dalal Nirmul Committee as well as Fact Findings Committee have, according to various sources, already produced 'concocted evidences' through inducement and threat. All these false but professionally prepared evidences will be accepted in this tribunal.
 
6.      Media trial of some people has been completed by constant propaganda. A list of 'war criminals' has already been prepared before any investigation begins. The list ironically includes some people who were even 4-8 years of old in 1971!
 
7.      The tribunal will not try the actual war criminals, the 195 Pakistani army officers who were identified as war criminals but got released after a tri-party agreement between Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan.
 
8.      It will not try the Awami League cadres or freedom fighters, who also committed war crimes, including brutally killing many innocent people particularly Bihari Muslims in 1971.
 
9.      It intends to try only some collaborators targeting an opposition political party who supported a united Pakistan; but belong to neither the cohort of 195 identified war criminals nor of 752 guilty ones identified under the Collaborators Act, 1972.
 
10.  Finally, the current regime itself has a long record of 'crime against humanity' (such as 154 extra-judicial killings in 2009) as well as the manipulation of the legal apparatus and therefore expectation of a fare and free trial is a mere dream from this regime.
 
The government is dictating the tribunal and it literally has power to determine which offence allegation it will take into consideration depending on investigation. It will certainly be a sham trial to prosecute the political opponents! Fair trial is not possible except under UN and under neutral judges of democratic countries.
