Crime, Corruption, and Impunity in India
Appeal to Set Up Special International Tribunal to Punish the Crimes Against Humanity in India
Appeal by: Rakesh Raman who is a journalist and human rights defender
OPENING STATEMENT
Politicians, bureaucrats, police, and court judges have formed a criminal gang in India. They collude with criminals and commit crimes and corruption with impunity while the ordinary citizens are suffering.
As a result of extreme authoritarianism in India, nearly 1.4 billion Indians (who represent nearly 20% of world population) are buried under unprecedented poverty, corruption, inflation, unemployment, lawlessness, communal violence, and religious animosity.
Almost all the top international agencies have expressed concerns over the rampant crime, corruption, and human rights violations in India particularly under the 10 years of the rule of the autocratic ruler Narendra Modi. Now, the Modi group is also accused of serious transnational repression crimes.
The ruling regime of Modi uses various dirty ploys such as manipulation of electronic voting machines (EVMs), collusion with corrupt oligarchs, and collection of black money through electoral bonds to win elections unscruplously.
While there is hardly any political opposition or functional judiciary in the country, the politicians, security forces, judges, and bureaucrats who are committing various crimes are not being punished. The judges in the Supreme Court and other courts work as slaves to the Modi regime and never try to protect the fundamental rights of citizens.
CRIMINAL CASES
Some of the cases of crimes against humanity being committed by the Indian political and bureaucratic gangs are explained at the following links.
Since a fair and transparent investigation and prosecution of the criminals in the current ruling regime is not possible in India, there is an immediate need to establish an international judicial forum or the Special International Tribunal for India.
INTERNATIONAL MILITARY TRIBUNAL
It will work on the lines of the International Military Tribunal which was constituted at Nuremberg to prosecute Nazi war criminals for crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
Although the Indian regime will resist such a move, the world leaders must understand that external intervention is required in a country where an apocalyptic situation persists.
They should learn from the example of Germany where the forces of ruthless German dictator Adolf Hitler were vanquished by the external Allied powers to put an end to his dictatorship. If not controlled immediately, the plight in India will take the form of oppressed Germany of the 1930s and 1940s.
In order to establish the Special International Tribunal for India, the world community can get guided by the steps being taken by the Council of Europe (CoE), which has decided to set up a Special Tribunal on the crime of aggression against Ukraine.
The proposed International Criminal Tribunal is supposed to prosecute the Russian Federation and senior Russian and Belarusian leaders for the Russian invasions of Ukraine.
Several international bodies – including the Council of Europe, the European Commission, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, and the European Parliament – have announced their support for its establishment.
Similarly, the U.S., UN, and European judicial and political bodies including the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) should form the Special International Tribunal for India.
This special judicial forum should begin the prosecution of Indian politicians, bureaucrats, court judges, police, and security forces so that they could be convicted and subjected to severe punishment for committing crimes against their own citizenry.
As a petitioner, I (Rakesh Raman) will be available to coordinate with the international organizations to get the formation of the Special International Tribunal for India expedited.
