Liberia Establishes Long-Overdue War Crimes Court
Liberia Establishes Long-Overdue War Crimes Court President Joseph Boakai on Thursday signed an executive order to create a long-awaited war crimes court to deliver justice to the victims of Liberia's two civil wars, characterised by widespread mass killings, torture and sexual violence. Human rights groups have described how girls were subjected to gang rapes, while children were recruited to fight, often after witnessing the killing of their parents. The back-to-back civil wars killed an estimated 250,000 people between 1989 and 2003. The legislation was passed by both the parliament and the senate, and signed off by a majority of lawmakers, including some who would face prosecution. The conviction that brings us here today is that, for peace and harmony to have a chance to prevail, justice and healing must perfect the groundwork, Boakai said in a statement. Victims and activists for justice have been calling for a court to try those accused of war crimes for decades. A post-war truth and reconciliation commission in 2009 identified a list of people to be prosecuted for war crimes, but the government didn't take action. Justice was a key issue in the presidential election last year, helping Boakai defeat soccer great and then President George Weah. Liberia began as a settlement for freed slaves from the United States in 1822, but declared itself an independent nation 25 years later. The resolution calls for international donors to fund the court. A number of legal steps still need that need to happen for an independent and effective court to be set up. Beth Van Schaack, the US envoy for global criminal justice, said the US would fund the court, if it was set up appropriately, and other donors had also expressed an interest in supporting it once a framework and other details were clear. For many citizens of Liberia, they see this as essential to a larger project establishing the rule of law in Liberia, so that there's faith in institutions,'' she said. Human Rights Watch and other civil society groups published a joint report a year ago calling on the Biden administration to push Liberian officials to set up the long-awaited court and fund its operations. Liberia's post-war truth and reconciliation committee listed eight people as leaders of warring factions, including two who currently serve in the senate. Both signed off on the resolution, including ex-warlord and Sen. Prince Johnson, who said he supported it because his constituents needed justice. Johnson was also named first on the committee's list of most notorious perpetrators and is accused of killing, extortion, massacre, torture and rape among other charges. Among the other leaders named by the committee in 2009 was Charles Taylor, a former president. Taylor is in jail in the United Kingdom, serving a 50-year sentence for war crimes including murder, rape and using child soldiers. He was the first former head of state convicted by an international war crimes court since World War II. While no one has been tried in Liberia, a handful of others have also been convicted of war crimes overseas. Mohammed Jabbateh, a rebel commander who witnesses said sliced a baby out of a pregnant woman's stomach, killed civilians and ordered his soldiers to rape young girls, was sentenced to 30 years in the US. Kunti Kamara was sentenced to life in prison for crimes against humanity, including systematic torture in France.
Liberian president signs order to create war crimes court
Liberian president signs order to create war crimes court Liberian President Joseph Boakai on Thursday signed an executive order to establish a war crimes court meant to bring overdue justice to victims of serious abuses committed during the West African country's two civil wars. The conflicts between 1989 and 2003 saw widespread atrocities including massacres, rape, and the use of child soldiers. A Truth and Reconciliation Committee later called for a special court to be set up to try those allegedly responsible. However, no concrete action was taken until Boakai was elected last year. The President proposed a resolution to create a special court, which was later backed by Liberia's lower house and senate. On Thursday, Boakai thanked the legislators for their work and gave his own final approval. The conviction that brings us here today is that, for peace and harmony to have a chance to prevail, justice and healing must perfect the groundwork, Boakai said in a special address. The move has been welcomed by activists and civil society groups that have called for more accountability for crimes committed during the conflicts in which around 250,000 people were killed. Once up and running, the court would operate in Liberia in line with international standards, with back-up from international institutions, including the United Nations. It will also handle economic crimes. Some in Liberia have opposed its creation, saying it risks reopening old wounds and could undermine an existing amnesty law that helped end the fighting.

Amit Shah video: Cybercrime cops question TPCC social media staff
Hyderabad: The Hyderabad cybercrime police, who on April 27 registered cases against TPCC social media staff in connection with Union minister Amit Shah's morphed video, questioned five staff members, including two women, here on Thursday. The police did not confirm their arrest. When the Delhi police were trying to serve the second notices, the Hyderabad cybercrime police allegedly detained the five persons Manne Satish Kumar, Naveen, Siva Shanker, Geeta and Asma Tasleema and questioned them in connection with the case. On April 27, the police received a complaint from G. Premender Reddy, BJP state general secretary, against the TPCC president for fabricating and morphing the speech of Shah. While Shah stated if the Bharatiya Janata Party forms government then our government will cancel the unconstitutionally given reservations to Muslims. In Telangana SC/ST and OBC rights will be given but Muslim reservation will be cancelled. The video was morphed to modify the statement as if the BJP party forms government, then the SC/ST and OBC reservations will be cancelled. The morphing/fabricating is an offence under the IT Act (sic), said Premender Reddy in his complaint. The cybercrime police blamed the TPCC social media wing but no specific name was mentioned as accused. A few days back, the Delhi Police Special Cell registered cases and served notices to four members of TPCC social media asking them to appear before them on May 1. TPCC president and Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddys advocate Soumya Gupta submitted a letter seeking one month time while M. Ramachandra Reddy, advocate, on behalf of four social media members, sought 15 days. It was also reported that the Delhi police are all set to serve second notices to TPCC social media wing members asking them to appear before the police based on the intensity of the case.

Congress will stand for social justice, says Uttam
Hyderabad: Civil Supplies and Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy has warned that the democracy in India could be in peril if Narendra Modi secures a third term as Prime Minister. Uttam Kumar Reddy made these remarks on Thursday while addressing a series of meetings in Mothe, Nadigudem, Munagala and Kodad in Surpyapet district in support of Congress candidate K Raghuveera Reddy from the Nalgonda Lok Sabha constituency. Referring to Modi's speech during his recent visit to Sangareddy, Uttam Kumar Reddy said that Modi failed to specify clearly that the BJP would not change the Constitution if voted to power. Stating that the BJP and RSS have often indicated that they are against the reservation system, he said there was always a danger that if the BJP came to power again, it would scrap the reservation system. He said Modi cited two or three instances wherein he took the Constitution in an elephant procession and another instance of him bowing down before the Constitution. The Constitution drafted by Dr B R Ambedkar is not just a book, but it is the spirit of democracy, which Modi assaulted several times by bringing several controversial laws in the last ten years. They included three contentious farm laws, which he withdrew following massive agitation from farmers. The BJP government may not change the cover page of the Constitution, but step-by-step they want to replace the provisions to implement the RSS agenda of scrapping the reservation, he alleged. Uttam Kumar Reddy slammed Modi for misleading the people by accusing the Congress of snatching away the reservation from SC, ST and BCs and giving it away to Muslims. He challenged Modi to prove a single instance in history where a reservation quota belonging to one community was removed and given to another community, including Muslims. He said Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and other BJP leaders are targeting the four per cent Muslim reservation in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. He said in 2004-05, the four per cent quota was given separately without touching the quota for other communities: SCs 15 per cent, ST 6 per cent and BCs 25 per cent. BJP is trying to make a 20-year-old decision an election issue despite the fact that a Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court would take the final decision on a 4 per cent Muslim quota, he said. He alleged that Modi was afraid of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's promise to conduct the caste census across the country and give every community its due share in resources and opportunities. Instead of cheating the Dalits, Adivasis and OBCs by promising to distribute only 4 per cent of the quota after snatching it from Muslims, he challenged Modi to announce reservations for all communities in proportionate to their population as stipulated in Article 16 of the Constitution. He claimed neither PM Modi nor any BJP leader dared to make this announcement. He said the BJP aimed to win 400 seats in Lok Sabha so they could change the Constitution and scrap reservation. Congress stands for social justice and increased reservation for SC, ST and OBCs in proportionate to their population, and after coming to power, it will lift the 50 per cent ceiling on quota, he said.

Wife of Martyred Soldier Pledges to Continue His Legacy in the Fight for Justice
Wife of Martyred Soldier Pledges to Continue His Legacy in the Fight for Justice Kalpana Soren, wife of former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren, on Thursday said her husbands arrest was unexpected and it triggered a shock in the JMM and the family. In an exclusive interview with PTI, Kalpana said it is not in the DNA of tribals to bow and Hemant Soren would emerge stronger. ''We have full faith in the judiciary and we are waiting for Hemant to come out on bail and campaign for the Lok Sabha polls. He is innocent and has been trapped in a pre-planned conspiracy by the BJP-led government at the Centre,'' she said. Kalpana, who has emerged as a new face of the party, alleged that the BJP ''is a tyrannical force that is hell-bent to oppress the opposition.'' ''How will the Constitution be saved when you are arresting opposition leaders who are working for the poor, tribals and dalits. They (BJP) only tell lies. The saffron partys 400+ slogan has pushed the temperature here above 400 degrees. People of Jharkhand are seething in anger against the BJP government and will throw out this tyrannical force which is looting its rich mineral resources,'' she added. On her husband languishing in jail for over 90 days, Kalpana said, ''I have a question as to why all Enforcement Directorate (ED) action takes place only in opposition-ruled states.'' In the alleged rift in the family, Kalpana said, ''There is full unity. Hemant Jis brother was there during my nomination for Gandey bypoll on April 29.'' On her sister-in-law Sita Soren quitting the party, Kalpana said, ''It was her decision to part ways with JMM and my best wishes are always with her.'' Kalpana, 48, who is credited with infusing a new vigour into Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) rank and file after Soren's arrest earlier this year, said politics has never been her choice but circumstances thrust her into it. ''I will fight against injustice and dictatorial forces as bowing is not in tribal DNA. I will follow my husband's footsteps. He chose to court imprisonment rather than compromise his values. I am his better-half and will see to it that tyrannical forces get a befitting reply,'' Kalpana said. ''My husband's arrest by the ED was politically motivated and part of a plan to coerce him to join the BJP. His arrest is part of a plan by the central government to browbeat, intimidate and humiliate him but they will get a befitting reply in the elections,'' she said. Kalpana filed her nomination as the JMM candidate for Gandey assembly bypoll on April 29. Voting for the seat is scheduled on May 20 along with the parliamentary elections in the state. The seat in Giridih district fell vacant following the resignation of JMM MLA Sarfaraz Ahmad. Kalpana, a homemaker with MTech and MBA qualifications, completed her school education from Baripada in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district, and obtained her engineering and MBA degrees in Bhubaneswar. Her political journey began at the 51st foundation day celebration of the JMM here on March 4, when she claimed that a conspiracy had been orchestrated by her opponents ever since the Hemant Soren-led coalition government came to power in 2019. Hemant Soren was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam on January 31. Speculations regarding Kalpana's candidacy arose following the resignation of Ahmad in December, with the BJP claiming it was to facilitate her candidature in case the ED issued summonses to her husband. Hemant Soren had, however, then dismissed rumours of Kalpana contesting from Gandey, calling it BJP's fabrication.

Imran Khan's party expresses displeasure over Pakistan Chief Justice's conduct on meddling by intelligence agencies in judicial affairs The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has expressed displeasure over the conduct of Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa during the Supreme Court proceedings on the issue of meddling by intelligence agencies in judicial affairs, Pakistan-based Dawn reported. PTI central information secretary Raoof Hasan said that the entire judiciary was on one side while the CJP was on the other. While addressing a press conference, Raoof Hasan reiterated demand of the party led by the incarcerated former Prime Minister of the country that a full court hear the matter on a daily basis. However, the CJP should disassociate himself from the bench. Raoof Hasan said meddling in the judicial affairs was a very serious issue but a spectacle was staged in the apex court the other day. He said six judges of the high court wrote a letter to the CJP to raise the meddling issue at the Supreme Judicial Council. However, he referred it to the executive and Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif was asked to form a commission to investigate it. PTI central information secretary said that Shehbaz Sharif and operatives of intelligence agencies were among those implicated in the matter. He stressed that giving responsibility to an implicated person to form the commission and appoint its head to look into the matter was in itself a crime. Hasan believed the practice could not be stopped if punitive actions were not taken against those meddling in judicial affairs. He said the CJP has said that there was no meddling in the judiciary. However, even the common man knew of this, Dawn reported. He said that the letter written by judges and the high court's responses were nothing less than an indictment and the chief justice should have proceeded with the matter according to the constitution. He accused the Chief Justice of Pakistan of adopting a different approach as all judges were on the same page but he was fighting against the entire judiciary. Hasan further said judges should take tangible and practical measures to erect a firewall against meddling in judicial affairs. However, nobody could judge as to which side the incumbent CJP was standing on despite the Peshawar and Lahore high courts' suggestions on the matter. Raoof Hasan also slammed the Punjab government for using force against the protesting farmers who were being forced to sell wheat at a price less than the production cost, according to Dawn report. He recalled that the PTI-led government had taken several initiatives to make Pakistan a welfare state. However, a 'conspiracy' was made to topple his government, Dawn reported. Speaking at the same press conference, PTI core committee member Advocate Abuzar Salman Niazi said that no one would compromise on judicial independence if the judicial process was sabotaged and it would directly affect an individual's right to access justice. Niazi said judicial overview kept a check on the executive to ensure it does not breach the constitution. He criticised several petitions filed by the PTI, including those related to May 9 had not been fixed for hearing till date, Dawn reported. Apart from this, he said there were reports about a move to fix CJP's tenure for which a constitutional amendment was needed. Abuzar Salman Niazi further said that PTI's petition regarding reserved seats was being delayed so that the ruling coalition that had the majority in parliament to amend the constitution. He said keeping in view the situation, how the PTI could expect justice from the CJP. (ANI)

When Yog becomes Yoga it gets to be recognized in the country of origin.

This is true even now. We went hammer and tongs to get a certificate from the World Bank about ease-of-doing-business and spruced up the processes in Delhi and Mumbai (at least in the beginning) to climb up the ladder. We did climb but the ground reality didnt change despite our road shows in Davos and other parts of the world.
