Imphal, July 16 2014:
The proscribed PREPAK has greeted all the people across the planet including the struggling people of Kangleipak on the occasion of International Jus-tice Day which falls on July 17 .
A statement issued by the outfit's assistant secretary, publicity and propaganda Leibakngakpa Luwang called upon the people of Kang-leipak (Manipur) to join the international movement against crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide and crimes of aggression so that justice, peace and prosperity prevail in the world.
The United Nation's General Assembly Convention on the Prevention of Crime and Genocide was held on December 9, 1948 and it laid the foundation for the Permanent Criminal Tribunal.
Later, a diplomatic conference was held at Rome on July 17, 1998 and the resolutions adopted there were put into practice since July 1, 2002 .
The International Criminal Court (ICC) was set up in line with the diplomatic conference held at Rome on July 17, 1998 .
Since then, the ICC started pulling up, adjudicate and punish many political leaders, military leaders and military officers for committing crimes against interna- tional laws.
Cambodian leader General Pinochet was adjudicated by the ICC in 1990 for committing genocide in his country from 1979 onward.
Prime Minister of Rwanda Jean Kambanda was also sentenced to life imprisonment on the charge of committing genocide against four lakh people in 1994 .
Former President of Liberia Charles Taylor was sentenced prison a Special Court of Sierra Leone.
President of Yugoslavia Slobodan Milosevic was also apprehended by the International Criminal Tribunal of Yugoslavia and sent to prison for the war crimes he committed against the people of Albania but he died in prison before his trial could be completed, the outfit narrated.
Congo national liberation movement leader Thomas Lubanga Dyilo was sentenced to 14 years by the ICC on July 10, 2012 after conducting his trial at the Haque for committing war crimes and recruiting children below 15 years in his fighting force.
But in Kangleipak (Manipur), the Indian military forces have been committing all kinds of genocide, war crimes, crimes of aggression and crimes against humanity, the outfit accused.
The Government of India has been resorting to all kinds of repressive measures in order to suppress the liberation movement which is endorsed by the UN.
Even though there is international conflict situation in Manipur, New Delhi has been wrongly projecting the situation as internal law and order problem.
Apart from committing genocide, rapes and murders, the Indian military has been orchestrating many cases of fake encounters and forced disappearances which are prohibited by the ICC.
There would certainly come a time when all the Indian political leaders and military officers, and their stooges operating in Manipur have to stand in the dock of the ICC or Criminal Tribunal set up by the UN Security Council for all the crimes against humanity they committed, and people should work collectively and relentlessly towards this end, the outfit asserted.
