Dear colleagues,
I would like inform you that the German members of L.A.W. appear also actively
against the war.
Norman Paech held the last Saturday in Berlin a lecture on "sense and abuse
of international jurisdiction" with
reference to the ICTY. The Berlin media did report on it, but not all
objectively. And weeks ago he gave to
newspapers interviews, e.g., before beginning of the process against Slobodan
Milosevic " Reproaches against
the NATO are for Hague tribunal <not relevant> " or " Milosevic
before court or the future of the International
jurisdiction ".
Hermann Klenner wrote for a left newspaper an very impressive article
"Curse of the bad act - What the
yearbook 2002 human rights reveals" ( Armour export policy of the EU
and their ambivalent relation to
social fundamental rights, about the Genovese refugee's convention or
about situation of human rights, Then
the experiences teach namely, that the constitutional state and the civil rights
are threatened in the fight
against terrorism as collateral damages on the distance to remain.).
Bernhard Graefrath published in a newspaper "Guantanamo -
Ill-treatment of prisoners of war is a war crime".
I spoke in a forum as a presenter against the German contribution to the war
against Yugoslavia and to
Afghanistan. We are also involved in demonstrations against the war and the
militarization of our societies.
The problem is only the lack of translation capacity from German to
English.
Yours for Peace and Justice,
Wolfgang
