Gujarat
Carnage ---To the International Community
United
Nations/International Community
I.
Until that happens and
because national legal mechanisms are very inadequate to deal with
crimes of this magnitude where State Complicity of the very highest
level has been found; where there are no laws to deal with issues of
genocide, sexual violence against women in these circumstances, and so
on --there is an urgent need for international agencies to intervene and
help in the process of justice for the victims of the Gujarat Genocide.
Hence the Tribunal
appeals to the International Community to use all the influence at it’s
command with the Government of India and Gujarat government to ensure
the speedy carriage of Justice.
II. To impress
upon the Government of India through its Parliament to legislate
mechanisms for the implementation of the Genocide Convention--- which
India has both signed and ratified --- and to use these mechanisms to
prosecute and punish all those who participated in the planning and
execution of murder, sexual violence, theft, and destruction in the
state of Gujarat in the recent months.
