CALL TO END GENOCIDE –
LAST CHANCE FOR DOMESTIC JURISDICTION TO ACT.
Indigenous Elders from geographic Australia are lodging a writ of mandamus at High Court Registry in Melbourne at 10.00am tomorrow morning on the Wednesday 13 April 2005, directing the defendants to investigate and prosecute key perpetrators (including top government officials) of acts of Genocide committed against Original Peoples of geographic Australia on 26 September 2002 and daily thereafter.
They are also making a declaration that the defendants are unwilling and unable (within the meaning of the International Criminal Courts Acts 2002) to investigate and prosecute such perpetrators for such acts of Genocide.
The I.C.C now has jurisdiction recognized by domestic law to investigate and prosecute such perpetrators for such acts of Genocide.
The Genocide prosecutors will be meeting out the front of the High Court Registry in Melbourne at 10.00am tomorrow morning on the Wednesday 13 April 2005. They include the following Indigenous Nations’ Elders of geographic Australia –
Uncle Kevin Buzzacott from Arrabunna Country, Aunty Wadjularbinna Nulyarimma from Gungallida Country, Aunty Isabell Coe from Wiradjuri Country, Aunty Sue Charles Rankin from Jaara Country, Robbie Thorpe from Gunnai Country, Mick Thorpe from Gunnai Country and Lionel Mongta from Yuin Country are taking the commonwealth to the I.C.C. (International Criminal Court) to prosecute for continuing acts of premeditated criminal Genocide. They are calling on other Elders from around the continent to also intervene.
This is the commonwealth’s last opportunity to avoid international prosecution. Stop the denial and resolve the issues of the Black G.S.T. The unfinished business is Genocide to be stopped. Sovereignty to be restored and a Treaty /s to be signed. We intend to make these issues and our presence the focus of the forthcoming Stolenwealth games in 2006.
