Lewis Montague, Secretary General Members of the Indonesian Independent Press

For the Attention of: Members of the Indonesian Independent Press

August 4 2012

PRESS STATEMENT

Upon reviewing the evidence presented to this Organization, it is the opinion of the Secretariat that the recent ruling of the Supreme Court of Indonesia against Anand Krishna undisputedly represents a fundamental failure in the administration of justice whilst clearly provoking a severe violation of human rights, resulting in a complete breakdown of the rule of law currently enjoyed in Indonesia.

It is for these reasons, in the interest of truth and justice, that we are convening an independent law commission, comprising esteemed members of the international law community, to undertake a thorough investigation into this matter. An open letter will be issued by the commission over the coming days and a detailed report of their findings will be published in the international arena.

True democracy demands an independent judicial system to be in place before any semblance of law and order can take place; a true and fair legal system is demanded by the people - they need to see that they are protected by an unbiased and ethically based judiciary system.

Haven't the people of Indonesia suffered enough in their short history as a young country - isn't it time to move forward. Isn't it time that the judicial participants sorted out their priorities and started acting as the stalwarts of a fair and honest judicial system that this country so needs and deserves.

Another example, the recent Pfiser case, which clearly saw justice carried out in the District Court resulting unequivocally in protecting the interests of the people of Indonesia, only to be overturned by the same Supreme Court that has just returned this outrageous decision against Anand Krishna - do the judges sitting in the Supreme Court really believe that their actions will not be noted and commented on by the international community. Current concerns about investment in Indonesia cannot be helped when such travesty of justices are taking place.

Dounne Alexander MBE. FRSA. (NWO Chair) News Release
Dounne Alexander MBE. FRSA… calls on the United Nations to avert Corporate Global Slavery. "This is no longer about RACE but global population control, power & wealth".

A controversial proposal was submitted to the United Nations 'Human Rights Commissioner (Ms. Navi Pillay) and 181 UN Ambassadors' - calling for the extension of 'The International Year for People of African Descent; plus the abolition of the EU Food Supplements Directive and Codex Alimentarius... to avert Corporate Global Slavery. Together, these laws and guidelines, pose the greatest threat to natural healthcare, freedom of choice, human rights, cultural heritage and the environment; by legalizing 'synthetic medication & artificial foods' for consumption throughout the world. Passed by Governments without the people's knowledge or consent, to control their lives on a global scale… thereby secretly imposing Corporate Global Slavery. This new type of slavery is no longer about RACE but global population control, power & wealth, in the hands of a few driven by greed. This crime against humanity will be the worst and most deceptive form of slavery imaginable in our civilized history. Lack of transparency, accountability, vested interests, corruption and collusion between Governments, Medical Establishments, Pharmaceutical Industries, Corporations, Organizations and Media Networks… raises serious cause for concern. To this end, Dounne has set up petitions 'The Nations Speaks – NO! Not In My Name and 'Global Voices Unite', to alert and empower people around the world; to collectively take back control and safeguard their future.

In her introductory letter Dounne writes;-

It is my honor to provide herewith a full and cogent Proposal for the UN Declaration of 2011 - as the International Year for People of African Descent. Via this holistic medium, I’ve aptly chosen to foreground not just the history, but the legacy of the African *Maafa – the Holocaust of the 500 years during which people of African heritage suffered severely through Slavery, imperialism, colonialism, apartheid, oppression, invasions and exploitation.

I reaffirm the African *Maafa as a crime against humanity, as well as its recognition by the United Nations, scholars and historians who have documented the primary and overwhelming culpability of European nations for enslavement in Europe, in ‘Plantation Africana’ and elsewhere. Moreover, I contend that the impending Government/Corporate Global Slavery, which now threatens to erode the moral matrix of our civilization, would serve to perpetuate these crimes not only against all wo/mankind but also the natural environment and its inhabitants.

In speaking directly to this fact, I have penned this central thesis on my landmark petition The Nation Speaks – “NO! NOT IN MY NAME”. The document contains the full background and explanations of the recommendations that admittedly challenge existing unethical practices of the UK Government, European Parliament and transnational business conglomerates, which collusively extol with graphic perfidy, the virtues of artificial science over natural science. More ominously, such a blatant disregard for Non-Western organic healthcare interventions and traditions are being demonstrated, allegedly in our name as citizens of the EU and/or overseas administrative regions. The subliminal message of my timely campaign therefore indicates deep problems in the discourse on the fabric of international law, which over-emphasize the place of Western pharmacology and a genetically-engineered healthcare system that systematically undermines the work, sacrifices, diverse heritage and culture of the Africana nation. Symbolizing a compelling and signal contribution to a long-neglected aspect of Africana cultural and intellectual life, you are all petitioned through the attached proposal to revisit this Western brand of deficiency in plurality-consciousness, which denies the existence of ‘Natural & Moral Justice’ in a global development context, especially when it relates to the disingenuous imposition of the European Food Supplements Directive ‘2002/46/EC’ and CODEX ALIMENTARIUS.

My examination of how the UK Government, the European Union, World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization are codifying Healthcare and Food Distribution reforms, which are systematically undermining the authority of the U.N. Declaration in recognition of The African *Maafa, reveals both the Western world’s debt to ‘Plantation Africana’ and our need as U.N. Member States to reassess the way current global coverage of this auspicious year’s celebration has been suppressed, both locally and globally. My suggestion to extend the Declaration’s mandate to 2012 is therefore neither far-fetched nor provocative. Overall, the attached proposal will serve as an invaluable input to you, the Distinguished Representatives of the U.N. Member States, as you advise your Governments in the preparation of the legal, political and socio-economic pillars (both systemic and localized) to “Wake Up! Right past wrongs and prevent future atrocities”.

In-depth research unearthed, the devastating impact these laws pose not only on the ‘natural health industry’ but also the nation’s health. Dounne decided to inform the wider public with the launch of her petition ‘The Nation Speaks – NO! Not In My Name” (May 2010) and Global Voices Unite (November 2011).

*The Maafa (also known as the African Holocaust or Holocaust of Enslavement) refers to the 500 years of suffering of Africans and the African Diaspora, through slavery, imperialism, colonialism, invasion, oppression, dehumanization and exploitation. The terms also refer to the social and academic policies that were used to invalidate or appropriate the contributions of African peoples to humanity as a whole, and the residual effects of this persecution, as manifest in contemporary society.

Jerry Prus-Butwilowicz LLB - Special Observer Delegation Leader to Ukraine News Release

26 September, 2011

Humanitad Claims Ukrainian Judicial Process is so Flawed that the President Should Intervene

For your information the following press release was issued by the NGO, Humanitad, today.

News Release
Humanitad Claims Ukrainian Judicial Process is so Flawed that the President Should Intervene
London, United Kingdom, 26 September, 2011: Humanitad, an international non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting justice, human rights and good governance, announced today that the judicial process in Ukraine is so flawed that the President must intervene urgently to prevent serious miscarriages of justice and reform the system as it is incapable of reforming itself. The statement came from its legal observer mission that attended the trial of Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko and which has reviewed Ukrainian judicial procedures.

“We have grave concerns that the prosecution and judicial system in Ukraine is so significantly flawed that the trials of Yulia Tymoshenko and other political defendants are likely to result in horrendous miscarriages of justice,” said Jerry Prus-Butwilowicz, the leader of the Humanitad observer mission. Mr Prus-Butwilowicz, who is a barrister-at –law, in independent practice in Australia, NZ and UK and a former UK Senior Crown Prosecutor, added: “There is compelling evidence that the judicial system itself is subject to improper influence from the Prosecutor’s Office and incapable of being independent, or fair. Judges themselves are open to intimidation and even prosecution by the Prosecutor’s Office when they exercise their objectivity on behalf of a defendant or appellant. This is abhorrent to standards of European justice. In these circumstances it is the responsibility of the executive to take urgent and immediate corrective measures to prevent serious miscarriages of justice.”

The announcement from Humanitad follows its open letter to President Viktor Yanukovych of 21 September, 2011.

Humanitad also noted that the trial of Yulia Tymoshenko, presided over by Judge Rodion Kireyev, has been marred by numerous, significant breaches of procedural fairness and breaches of the European Convention on Human Rights. It noted egregious breaches such as insufficient time given to prepare a defence; continuation of court proceedings in the absence of the defendant and legal counsel; unreasonable and unjustified use of detention; and refusal for medical assistance from a personal physician, etc.  It also reported that the trial judge frequently favoured the prosecution to the detriment of the defendant which supports the hypothesis that judges are influenced improperly against the interests of the defendant by the Prosecutor’s Office.

“In these unusual and critical circumstances, where lives are at risk, it is imperative that the Head of State is personally made fully aware of the deplorable circumstances of the prosecutions currently before the Ukrainian Courts. Where the judicial institutions cannot act, the “buck stops” with the Head of State,” said Sir John Walsh of Brannagh, a barrister-at-law and constitutional and human rights lawyer.
The legal observers witnessed part of the trial and monitored closely the proceedings and reports of other third-party observers, taking into account published reports such as The Danish Helsinki Committee for Human Rights, “Legal Monitoring in Ukraine II.”The observer mission asserts that the courts and prosecution are not independent and impartial and notes the following in support of its conclusion:

            •           The selection of judges violates both Ukrainian and international law. Judges are appointed for an initial 5 year term. To become a judge for an unlimited time they must be approved by parliament, making them vulnerable to political assessment and influence. The judge in the Tymoshenko case is only two years into his 5 year term. The computerised selection of judges to cases also appears open to abuse.
            •           The judiciary is too easily swayed to allow remand in custody as a precautionary measure – 88% of custody requests were fulfilled in 2010 – illustrating an extraordinary influence from prosecutors.
            •           Not all politicians respect the independence of the judiciary. The latter can be influenced by statements from senior politicians, such as the President, Prime Minister, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration, etc..
            •           The Prosecutor General exerts undue influence on the judiciary. Prosecutors should not be responsible for disciplining judges.
 The Danish Helsinki Committee for Human Rights Report cites a case on 7 June, 2011 when Deputy Prosecutor General M. Havrylyuk, a member of the Higher Council of Justice, initiated disciplinary proceedings in the Higher Council of Justice against three appeal court judges for “having ignored the opinion of the prosecutor, unreasonably interfered with the course of pre-trial investigation, and taken a one-sided position in favour of the defendant.” This situation highlights the fact that there is no legitimate and honest appeal system in Ukraine and judges who decide against the prosecution are likely to be prosecuted themselves.

•           If judicial officers in Ukraine can be influenced in such a manner, then defence lawyers are likely to be operating under similar undue pressure and influence which may impact the efficacy of their defence to the detriment of their client.

Humanitad noted a general public consensus and considerable public comment from international political leaders, supporting the opinion that the charges against Yulia Tymoshenko and the other defendants amount to the criminalisation of normal political decisions.

In summary, Humanitad concluded that the Ukrainian Courts and prosecutors have failed to be independent or impartial; preventive custody is overused and abused; the presumption of innocence and equality of the parties is non-existent; there is a lack of independence of the judiciary from political influence – courts are open to undue influence by politicians in power; the process to appoint and discipline judges is flawed and the selection of judges violates international and Ukrainian law; the Higher Council of Justice is under undue political influence; the role of the Ukrainian Prosecutor General is overly powerful and fatally undermines the separation of legal functions; and there is imbalance between the prosecution and judiciary.

“If persons such as judges and former ministers cannot expect due process, no-one can be assured of the protection of law in Ukraine,” said Paul Wilson, a Research Fellow and Honorary Professor at Bond University in Queensland, Australia. “We therefore urge President Yanukovych, as Head of State, to serve the interests of justice and the Ukrainian people as mandated by his office and remedy the situation without delay. It is our hope that Mrs Tymoshenko and other political prisoners will be freed at the nearest opportunity.”
Humanitad welcomed reports that the Ukrainian authorities are seeking to overhaul the Soviet-era Criminal Procedure Code to bring it in line with European standards and recommended that this be done in compliance with advice and recommendations from the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission).

former Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yulia Tymoshenko, was also a delegate to the Human Rights Institute in London and on this occasion working alongside a delegation from Humanitad.

His attendance was prompted in response to reports of violations regarding the legal process and the human rights issues, having seen some of the transcripts and heard of international concerns
from European countries and the United States. These concerns include a lack of time to prepare the defence, reports that on one occasion the proceedings continued without Ms Tymoshenko or her lawyers present in the court, reports about the health of Ms Tymoshenko and complaints of numerous procedural irregularities effecting the fairness of the trial.

Stop persecuting Tymoshenko KyivPost, Ukraine

Humanitad: Stop persecuting Tymoshenko

Jul 20 at 12:36 | Kyiv Post

Editor's Note: The following is a July 20th open letter from Humanitad, an international non-governmental organization, to President Viktor Yanukovych and other members of Ukrainian government. In the letter, the organization expresses its concern that Ukraine's leadership is rolling back on human rights and democracy while persecuting opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko.

In International Support of Madame Yulia Tymoshenko: Concern over violation of human rights, democratic process & derogation of the rule of law

July 20th 2011 - London, United Kingdom

Open Letter and Statement of Concern

President Viktor Yanukovych of Ukraine,

Judge Rodion Kireyev,

Honorable Members of the Government of Ukraine,

Honorable Members of the Independent Judiciary of Ukraine,

As a leading advocate of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals my organization is one of tens of thousands of non-governmental organizations keenly concerned with issues which press upon democratic process, human rights, civil liberties, and natural law justice.

Those of us within the international community who are carefully following the unfolding "trial" of Madame Yulia Tymoshenko are now gravely concerned at what appears to be persecution and not prosecution. It now appears that the charges laid against her are spurious at best. The Ukrainian judiciary appears to be handling the case questionably and is apparently subverting natural justice. This gives cause for serious international concern.

Office of the Secretary-General

Lewis Montague

For the Attention of: The Government and Judiciary of Ukraine

July 20, 2011

The (NWO) Natural World Organization in promoting intergovernmental transparancy and accountability amongst all world nations is concerned at the unfolding events surrounding the prosecution of Yulia Tymoshenko in Ukraine. 'Natural justice' is the seminal pillar determining a free world. It appears to be under direct attack in Ukraine by those public officials who are mandated by the people to protect and ensure it.

Television footage and reports of the debacle in which the prosecutor was granted the opportunity by Judge Rodion Kireyev to read out the indictment against Ms Tymoshenko without her or her lawyers being present in the courtroom, demonstrates a failing model of jurisprudence in Ukraine.

Our law experts, in continuing to dissect the evidence and charges relating to the case of Yulia Tymoshenko, are concerned that the case against Ms Yulia Tymoshenko appears to be politically motivated, weak and fabricated. Our Law Commissioner will be submitting a detailed letter during the course of this week which will enumerate various concerns.

Unfolding events issuing from Ukraine indicate the likelihood of an unhealthy linkage between an incumbent Government and the country's Judiciary. Ukraine has a long and proud history, even though final independence was only achieved in 1991, and it is sad to all onlookers in the international community that a founding member of the United Nations now finds itself in the international spotlight for onerous reasons.

Any fledging country attempting to create a stable environment will struggle in its early years, but it is of paramount importance that transparency of justice be maintained, not just for the watching world but most importantly for the sake of its own people.

I would therefore remind the Government and the Judiciary of Ukraine that the world is watching this case. Should this case continue in its present form and the eventual outcome be proven as political orchestration by powers from behind the Judiciary, then be assured, that we, along with many other concerned organizations will not rest until justice is done. It is important that we do not overlook or underestimate the power of International Law in changing circumstances.

We would therefore, with the greatest respect, urge the Government and Judiciary of Ukraine to ensure that the world sees absolute transparency in dealing with Yulia Tymoshenko.
