Sir
Falana's referral to ICC for the prosecution of Dasuki, Metuh, etc
reported in Premium Times. I will not argue issues of jurisdiction here
or now as I am out of time I have writ of summons to prepare and
finalize client in Greece and I am almost late on deadlines. As a human
rights Attorney you are aware that ICC detention centre in The Hague in
Netherlands keep international standards for the treatment of prisoners.
If Dasuki, Metuh and others were to, will be entitled to the medical
services, library, computers, books and magazines, not kept
incommunicado and chains, their families and lawyers would visit
severally, they will have access to good meals, clean water, fruits and
if they decide to cook they will have 5-star kitchen.
Because Buhari is being politically vindictive, he is chasing the
suspects with venom and turning away from the victims ie IDPs whose
sources of livelihood and income need immediate and urgent revamping.
These should be matters of concern to the human rights community. Look
ICC plans for victims whilst trial of suspects proceeds.
The
Rome Statute created two independent institutions: the International Criminal
Court and the Trust Fund for Victims. While
it is impossible to fully undo the harm caused by genocide, war crimes, crimes
against humanity and the crime of aggression, it is possible to help survivors,
in particular, the most vulnerable among them, (women and girls) rebuild their lives and regain
their dignity and status as fully-functioning members of their societies. Please advocate for victims and mobilise to hand them benefits, let us set up innovative projects to
meet victims’ physical, material, or psychological needs. The
Trust Fund for Victims can act for the benefit of victims of crimes,
regardless
of whether or not there is a conviction by ICC. N1.8Billion per month
put to maintain Buhari's extravagant fleet of aircraft could transform
some lives. If you have access to Mr President tell him. Not VP learned
colleague who mightn't influence it. cc President Buhari.
Best,
CA
