We the People of India and the World - Drawing upon all the great traditions of justice, fairness and plain decency evolved in the course of human history; Upholding the right to life and its perpetuation in all its forms everywhere; Resisting with all our might the ongoing assault on human rights, values and liberties by the forces of capital, racism and authoritarianism; and Affirming the overwhelming need for a global uprising against the relentless march of US militarism across Planet Earth; Hereby charge George W. Bush, the US Government he represents and all its allies around the world with the following (among countless others) crimes against humanity -: - Attempting to restore the era of Western colonial rule over the world through devastating violence and systematic looting of resources of weaker nations; - Violating and indeed summarily rejecting all known international laws governing relations between countries of the world; - Planning, preparing, and waging the supreme crime of a war of aggression in contravention of the United Nations Charter and the Nuremberg Principles. - Murdering in cold blood over 200,000 citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan in the first phase of this project of global recolonisation; - Targeting civilian populations through indiscriminate use of violence, systematic destruction of infrastructure and collective punishment of cities and towns; - Using illegal weapons including napalm, depleted uranium, cluster and white phosphorus bombs against both civilian and combatants in violation of the Geneva Conventions; - Using deadly violence against peaceful protestors in the occupied countries; - Subjecting Iraqi and Afghani soldiers and civilians to torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment; - Obstructing the right to information, in particular through assassination of journalists and deliberate military targeting of media facilities; - Willfully devastating the environment, including through use of radioactive material with potential to harm all life forms for centuries to come; - Planning the use of nuclear weapons against adversaries such as Iran in the near future; - Bribing or bullying developing country governments, such as in India, to become partners in its global crimes; - Emerging as the greatest threat to global peace, security and human well being since the advent of the Nazism under Adolf Hitler. We solemnly pledge that we will not forget, forgive or rest till we bring the perpetrators of these enormous crimes to justice no matter how long it takes or what efforts it calls for.
