Its to have President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Prosecuted more info
Yesterday, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ascended the podium at the United Nations General Assembly. This man who stole his reelectionand violently suppresses his political opponents sought to teach the world about democracy. This man who persecutes religious minorities and tortures civicactivists presumed to lecture the world about human rights. This man who denies the Holocaust and has threatened to wipe Israel off the map dared to accuseIsrael of genocide.
The United Nations and the world must stop treating Mahmoud Ahmadinejad like a national leader. Instead, we muststart treating him like the international outlaw he is. In particular, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad must be brought before the International Criminal Court tostand trial for what may well be his most serious crime: incitement to genocide.
International law criminalizes not only the act of genocide, but also the direct and public incitement to commit genocide. This is anextremely important legal provision. The only way that the international community can stop genocide is if it prevents the acts that make it possible: namelythe provocation of and preparation for such atrocities by people in positions of authority.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's repeated threats to destroy Israel present a clear case of incitement to genocide. He hasmade these threats explicitly, publicly, and repeatedly. His pursuit of nuclear weapons and long range missiles, as well as his ongoing support for Hezbollahand Hamas, demonstrate that these threats are by no means idle.
Please click here to sign apetition calling upon the United Nations Security Council to refer Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's crimes to the International Criminal Courtfor prosecution. This petition will be delivered to United Nations Secretary - General Ban Ki-moon and US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice,as well as to the current Security Council Chair.
The next time that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad appears before an international tribunal, it must not be as an honored guest at the UnitedNations General Assembly. It must be as a defendant in the dock of the International Criminal Court.
thank you and god bless.
