The United Nations puts Hitler to Shame?

 The United Nations has been choked by the UN Security Council through its skewed veto power that ensures apartheid system is at the centre of the realm of UN international governance. Irrespective of how United Nations or the West might justify it, the truth of discrimination shines through. The assumption being that one set nations are more civilized and democratic than the others. It is this that ensures even in the absence of war crimes, based on pure allegation of wanting a nuclear power a country like Iran will be Sanctioned by US, Europe and UN for decades. With US seeing it as part of a  US-Trump strategy to weaken a nation and then destroy it militarily and Venezuela gave President Trump the feeling he has the “Midas Touch” to repeat it across hemispheres.

At the same time Israel which has nuclear war heads, which at a drop of hat keeps hitting countries in the region with missiles and bombs, and yet has never faced sanctions. Why is Israel able to blindside UN, EU and US with the same war crimes over and over again? It is this perpetual state of being blindsided that made Genocide on Palestinians possible, and yet the world did not learn.

Even after being accused on war crimes both by ICC and ICJ, the leaders from Israel prance across the globe and assert they are the symbols of peace in the Middle East and no one even dares to question them. It is understandable that US and EU have military industry-based links with Israel and it is too deep for humanitarian principles of Justice to penetrate, this was made clear when during the genocide in Gaza, American Republican representatives took pride in signing on missiles to be dropped in Gaza and they even captured the moment for the social media.

What is interesting is that the signing of missiles with love for the death of Palestinian reeked of white supremacy, strangely one of the rare instances when a defect of limited production of melanin is the ground for sense of supremacy, especially among the white population. Probably it is this assumed supremacy that makes it right for Pre-emptive strike be central to US and Israel international relations. It jars when US President or his representatives speak about their inalienable right to bomb any country on the planet based on their perceived threat to themselves or to humanity. Never has this inalienable right of US and Israel questioned at the UN. Why? Is it that UN through its silences acknowledges that bomb power rules the world? If that is the case why have peace building fiasco, is it for entertainment. Let the nations creates groups and pool in money for collective warheads to keep US President and Israel in check.

The act of inhumanity:

An act of inhumanity is not just unacceptable violence there is also a silence institutional violence that can be enacted on victims of invasion or war crime. It is that happened at the UNSC.  It was Iran that was bombed by US and Israel, on one instance with no room for technical error US did bomb the Girl’s school, for it has been identified that Tomahawk cruise missile was used. This is a long range, subsonic precision weapon used to strike high value, heavily defended land targets. It is known for its ability to fly at very low altitudes- “terrain hugging” to avoid enemy radar detection and has an accuracy with 5-10 meters. This would mean technical error in target selection and locking would be difficult; besides it is accuracy that also gives it the market value.

Tomahawk also has five distinct guidance system to ensure precision, it includes Inertial Navigation System (INS), Global Positioning System (GPS); Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) which allows missile to scan the ground beneath it using radar altimeters and compare it to pre-programed maps allowing it to navigate without relying solely on satellites; Digital Scene Matching Area correlation (at the final phase, an onboard camera takes images of the target areas and matches them with stored images to identify and target the objects with high accuracy); and Advanced Electronic Support Measure assist in locating targets. Besides, there is another aspect that makes technical error difficult to accept, is its loitering capability, the missile can loiter (hover/circle) over a target area, providing battle damage assessment imagery via its onboard camera to commanders before striking. This capability was introduced in 2004.

In spite of this grave act of anti-humanity, no one included the fact that Iran actions were defensive after being attacked by both US and Israel.  Even attacks on countries that allow US Bases were not act of aggression, for all the countries have military arrangement with US or Israel or both. The attacks on Iran would not have been possible without support from these infrastructures across the region, including input for last year bombing when scientists, academicians, intelligentsia and their families were wiped out. For example, use of air space by US or Israel to attack Iran, how is it different from rights of passage for troops which later commit violations of international humanitarian law. Within the growing digital warfare role of those who aide and abets the process is critical to carry out war crimes, invasion or genocide.

 These attacks are made possible through the military infrastructure of US and through Tech Companies infrastructure, when in digital warfare the tech company’s data centre based far away or any other human in the loop is involved in decision over the final shot, how are then these non-military targets. For these arrangements can be considered to be Business Support or Joint Operations which is aimed at carrying out war crimes.

Allowing these infrastructures to be non-military targets would create a skewed understanding of reality as US and Israel are moving towards digital war of aggression, under such circumstances using the old format of deciding accountability would have Israel and US bombing across the region and outside for fun and to assert the power of might.

Standing tall after a Genocide

Yes, UN put Hitler to shame, when Iran was targeted as though it had gone on aggression frenzy out of the blue and Iran was voted against by many members of the UNSC.  A lie, a narration filled with fallacies was accepted as truth by the UN, ignoring the sovereign right of Iran to defend itself. It forgot to assert that US and Israel committed war crimes and continue to do so.

It allowed the Permanent Representation from Israel, at the UN, Danny Danon, to give illustrative presentation on what Israel is doing in Iran and Lebanon. Since when has UN decided to become complicit in war crimes, does the UN believe Israel has the inalienable right to bomb anyone it feels threatened by. 

UN gave a position of acknowledgement and power to an Israeli Representative, Danny Danon to present on war crimes as though it were acts of justice. This is a blatant abuse of sovereign rights of Iran the nation and its people. Danny Dannon is from the Likud party, a right-wing party that believes in Greater Israel. At present the State of Israel is busy taking over land in West Bank building residential complex with the total faith that no international law, international community, or anyone else will dare to question their war crimes.

Israel is a country where the court set free soldiers who were arrested for raping a Palestinian, who was so critically ill that he needed emergency medical intervention. The image of this is given below.

                          The Democratic Nation Israel's concept of Justice!

 


 It is the representative of such a nation, Israel, that is lecturing on human rights violation by Iran and the threat of Iran to Israel and the region.

UN aren’t you aiding and abetting the war crimes of US and Israel, for according to legal interpretation abetting involves “encouragement, advising, or instigating the commission of a crime”, further elaborated upon as “it may involve physical acts, verbal statement, or in some cases, mere presence of an “approving spectator”. UN, you have gone far beyond the role of a “approving spectator” for UN is giving formal space and approval for Israeli Representative to Present War Crimes as a Strategy for democratising Iran. This will encourage the sense of impunity that Israel enjoys to carry on further war crimes all across the region.

With regard to representative from US, where he emphasised how his President is at the "Job of addressing the war between US and Israel combined against Iran". What the US Representative forgot is that the US President raises serious doubt about meaning of democratic governance as practised by US President at domestic and international level. The President comes through as a global terrorist who is found of bombing countries, kidnapping leaders, stealing national resources and at present believes he can decide who the next leader of any country can be.

Peace, Security & Fourth Industry, Technology—impact on Us and Our Becoming

Its complexity, and simplicity is reflected in our restricted definition of peace as an absence of war/violence, even though we sense it is far beyond that.    Peace is a concept that exists beyond the boundaries of empirical reality, but we seek it within the realms of empirical reality, where power has the final say. We conceive it as a static state, where a world view palatable to u...

The President of US stands accused of Genocidal intent?

Mr.President Trump, after hinting at his intent for days, now allegedly has stated loud and clear he would like to own another sovereign state, Palestine and wants to remove the entire population of Palestinians from there. For which he is bidding with nations in the middle east, almost creating a new form of slave trade.  The President of US standa accused of:  a) Clearly expressed Genocidal intent, expressed to entire world totally in free will, standing in a position of power as the greatest spender on Military industry.  2. As specified in Article two of genocide convention he state he wants to destroy an entire nation by erasing its existence and using organised crime methods for the same.  3.Totally against the UN charter Article 2 (4) for it "prohibits use of force (which could be physical and psychological) and calls on all Members to respect the Sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of other states.  4. Whether US and Israel want...

Living in the Margins

 Molly Charles (1) Margin, a term familiar from tender age; notebooks with clear cut margins to delineate the main body of text, define it. The margins give it definite shape, a practice that continues into the virtual world. Among humans, it is these margins that give identity to the large majority we term normal. The often, porous boundaries offer a chance for individuals to slip through and slip back into either ‘normal’ or ‘marginal’ spaces. The decision to identify with marginal groups or positions can be a conscious one as with (gender identity, drug use), enforced as in (mental health, racial and caste based discrimination) and accidental for (drug use, stigmatized diseases). In certain instances, as with mental health, some individuals may find their being part of marginal groups a permanent reality, in most other instances individuals do move in and out of marginal groups, as a survival strategy to deal with marginalization. Even when physical spaces merge, with an emph...
