United Nations: on December 11th the Office of the Special Advisers on the
Prevention of Genocide and on the Responsibility to Protect, released The
Framework of Analysis for Atrocity Crimes, a listing
of criteria present in and applicable to atrocity crimes as they form
and progress, particularly the crime of genocide. It's an aware,
accurate, thorough, intelligent tool for recognizing genocide before
mass killing starts. At its launching, wide dissemination as a document
belonging to the world's people, was urged by the UN's Deputy Secretary
General. Adama Dieng, the Secretary-General’s Special Adviser on
Prevention of Genocide, has warned that "not a single country is immune
to the risk of genocide." Because a large number of the Framework's
criteria can be applied to policies of the United States and Canada,
the document is likely to be suppressed by NATO country media. In the
U.S. current evidence of CIA torture practices (the Feinstein report)
compounds government's commitment to crimes of atrocity: a morally
terminal crime torture is also symptomatic of genocide. The UN special
rapporteur on counterterrorism and human rights, Ben Emmerson, has
stated that U.S. officials involved in torture must be prosecuted. The
UN high commissioner for human rights, Zeid Raad al-Hussein, noting that
the U.S. is party to the Convention Against Torture, says the U.S. must
ensure accountability. But the U.S. Justice Department refuses to
prosecute these known violations of domestic and international law and
many Americans are frightened by the widely publicized impunity into
cooperation. Avoiding partisan politics the Framework for Analysis
doesn't point out that the policies and actions which become warnings
signs of atrocity crimes, usually appear with right wing governments,
corporate acquisition, and military takeover.
