Afrasianet - Kamal Musaed - The courts of conscience or people's courts are courts established by the people to try criminals who violate their rights to life, liberty or a dignified life, and are therefore unofficial courts but express the conscience of the peoples, which is horrified by impunity criminality.
"Courts of Conscience Sue America and Israel" is a new book and public trials that emulate the conscience of the peoples after the United Nations, the Security Council, international organizations, and the ICC failed to try the aggressors. Some international bodies and human rights activists have begun to establish courts of conscience to try major international defendants who usually go unpunished by official courts, believing in the need to apply justice among human beings, because human societies can only be stable and organized under an equal system He puts every element in its place and gives everyone his due.
But this is not achieved automatically, it must be established, nurtured or forcibly imposed, and in order to observe justice in order to put both the individual and the group in the right place that they deserve, but things do not always go this way, and yet the system remains the order by force of law.
The book "Courts of Conscience in the Prosecution of America and Israel", published by the Consultative Center for Studies and Documentation in 2024, First Edition, Beirut, Lebanon.
White Man Practices
The book "Courts of Conscience" notes that after the law of the jungle prevailed, judicial authorities began to be established against America and Israel for violating the rules, tampering with rights, and committing crimes, and it became necessary to confront them, especially since they express the conscience of humanity and identify the perpetrators of crimes against humanity, and were limited to moral restraint and called "courts of conscience."
The most dangerous people who committed crimes in the past two centuries are the leaders of the colonial countries under the slogan of practicing the message of the white man, and the most perpetrators of crimes are those countries led by the United States of America and the Zionist enemy in our region, and to which can be added the takfiri movements.
In order to prosecute these entities for their crimes, courts have been established that prosecute those responsible for these crimes on behalf of the peoples. In this book, we review some of the trials held by the courts of conscience of the aforementioned entities that have escaped punishment by the official judiciary.
Chapter One: The Criminal Court of Conscience of the Middle East.
Chapter Two: Trial of ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra for their crimes in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon.
Chapter Three: Accusing Britain of the Balfour Declaration and enabling the Zionists to rape Palestine.
Chapter Four: Prosecuting the United States for its crimes around the world.
Chapter V: Prosecution of the United States for its crimes in West Asia.
Courts of Conscience
The courts of conscience or people's courts are courts established by the peoples to try criminals who violate their rights to life, liberty or a decent life, and are therefore unofficial courts, but they express the conscience of the peoples, which is terrorized by impunity criminality.
The establishment of the courts of conscience came after the leaders of the arrogant imperialist powers lost all sense of humanity and created a network of protected global criminal and military alliances that work to strike at economic and financial systems that do not bow to their dictates to exploit their wealth or strategic positions. They have waged wars of aggression where war crimes against humanity are committed and even genocide of the human race to facilitate their domination and theft, control and lower human resources.
The benefit of the courts of conscience is that they deal with the most serious crimes that may not be tried by courts, especially since they are more general, if not always, international crimes of extraordinary gravity.
Lebanon's lawsuit against the Zionist enemy
The book "Courts of Conscience" confirms that prosecuting the enemy is almost impossible, and if it happens, it is useless, so some human rights bodies and a number of Lebanese and international figures and activists have taken the initiative to propose the establishment of a court of conscience to prosecute the Zionist civilian and military leaders for their crimes, and that is why the First Court of Conscience was established in Brussels, Belgium, to try them.
The call details suggest that military operations carried out by the Israeli armed forces were carried out not for "battle purposes" but rather collective punishment aimed at either threatening the civilian population or spreading terror by shelling and destroying property, property and other installations protected by the Geneva Convention.
In fact, the book reveals that on 12 July 2006, the Israeli armed forces invaded Lebanon, crossing the "Blue Line" adopted by UNIFIL in 2000 to define the territory formally under the sovereignty of the Government of Beirut from the territory under their control, irregular (Lebanese forces) that had been operating for a long time in the south of the country to extend Lebanon's full sovereignty over its territories that were still under foreign occupation.
The testimonies and documents presented during the Tribunal's deliberations, which corroborated the findings of the United Nations Commission of Inquiry in November 2006, were able to establish that during the stages of the war, which lasted from 12 July 2006 to 14 August 2006, the Israeli invading forces carried out:
- Launched 7,000 airstrikes on territories deprived of any air defense.
- More than 1,100 people were killed, including a large number of women, children and the elderly.
- Bombing in a systematic manner that leaves no room for doubt a large part of the infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, airports, water supply basins, electricity plants, and fuel depots.
- Bombing civilian homes, hospitals, and convoys of displaced non-military vehicles with the intention of killing as many civilians as possible.
- Bombing museums, places and religious processions.
- Shelling large numbers of small shops in small villages.
- Attacking the Lebanese medical and health services that were helping the civilian population.
- The use of prohibited weapons during shelling aimed at causing casualties among the civilian population, including children: throwing bombs, toys, fissile bombs, and prohibited bombs.
In the Lebanese case, Israel's attack falls under the criminal description of the alleged "crime of genocide," and the court accepts this description of this crime against Israel because of the methodology that characterized the attacks of Israeli forces directed against civilians and to cause serious injuries to their physical and psychological integrity.
The Middle East Criminal Court of Conscience, based on international customary and customary law and the peremptory norms contained in the Geneva Conventions of 1948 and 1949 and the Statute of the International Criminal Court in 1998, believes that Israel's indiscriminate bombing and destruction, killing more than 1,100 people, including children, women and the elderly, in attacks against civilian convoys and the use of prohibited weapons, constitute major war crimes.
Syria and the U.S.-Israeli Intervention
The militants committed the most serious and heinous crimes against the Syrian and Iraqi people, with Israeli support and American intervention, and tampered with their institutions and heritage, killing, mutilating, imprisoning and enslaved hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, destroying museums and antiquities, looting their holdings and selling them to international smugglers, and occupying oil and gas fields in northeastern Syria.
The book "Courts of Conscience" reveals that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared in official emails sent in 2012 that the fall of the Assad family could ignite a war between the Shiites and Sunnis in the region and that it would be in the interest of the West and Israel, and that the best way to help Israel is by helping the Syrian people and overthrowing the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
The cases challenged in the complaint filed before the Middle East Criminal Conscience Court by the Acting Prosecutor on behalf of the peoples of Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon relate to wars waged by armed militias against the aforementioned countries to carry out what can be considered a dubious criminal strategy on multiple fronts, by recruiting, training, and arming groups of mercenary fighters in the name of Islam, such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ( ISIL) and its other offshoots.
On May 13, 2023, the International People's Court on US Imperialism: Sanctions, Blockade, Economic and Coercive Measures held a hearing on the impact of the blockade and sanctions heavily supported by the United States and Israel, that is, five months before the Al-Aqsa flood and the aggression on Gaza, but the Zionist war of extermination on the Gaza Strip needs a special court of conscience because the dimension of the aggression is not the same as before, where 8.15 percent of the individuals were living on humanitarian assistance, including 1.1 million refugees Palestinians receive food assistance from UNRWA, and while the economic consequences are clear and catastrophic, there is an enormous social cost represented in the disintegration of the social fabric of Palestinians in Gaza and the deterioration of the mental health of its population, especially children and youth, at an alarming rate.
