Sikhs Need To Go To International Court Of Justice To Present Theie Case Of 1984 Massacare


Recommended Posts

I was reading more about international criminal court.India had refused to sign Rome statue,which extends

Court's jurisdiction over the country. In other words India does not recognizes international

Criminal court. Furthermore,only cases on or after 2002 can be prosecuted because Rome

Statue came into force then.

However prosecution of Sudan and Darfur,who are not signatories to international court was

Initiated by referral from members of security council. Looks like everyone is inventing its own

Rules to suit themselves.

how about doing paath and asking for Guru's help? insist of looking for other people.

just a matter of time before some sikh will deliver just to kumar and others.

The Guru Sahibs said Sikhs should not do just Path alone although very important but take actions as well (Miri Piri). Hence why they entered into discussions with rulers and fought battles and got allies together from different areas and communities

The above is correct.

The Court can generally exercise jurisdiction only in three cases:

i) if the accused is a national of a state party (India is not a state party)

ii) if the alleged crime took place on the territory of a state party (India is not a state party); or

iii) if a situation is referred to the Court by the United Nations Security Council

Sikhs would need to convince the UN Security Council.

The International came into being on 1 July 2002—the date its founding treaty, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, came into force—and it can prosecute only crimes committed on or after that date.

The ICC is legally independent from the United Nations. However, the Rome Statute grants certain powers to the United Nations Security Council. Because the ICC cannot look into anything that happened before its establishment in 2002, it cannot be said that the ICC is functionally independent from the UN. Article 13 allows the Security Council to refer to the Court situations that would not otherwise fall under the Court's jurisdiction. Sikhs would need to convince the Security Council to use Article 13 to look at India and if it was possible to look at events before 2002.

The original post was about the International Court of Justice (ICJ). It is the primary judicial branch of the United Nations. Its main functions are to settle legal disputes submitted to it by states.

In contentious cases (adversarial proceedings seeking to settle a dispute), the ICJ produces a binding ruling between states that agree to submit to the ruling of the court. Only states may be parties in contentious cases. Individuals, corporations, parts of a federal state, NGOs, UN organs and self-determination groups are excluded from direct participation in cases, although the Court may receive information from public international organizations. This does not preclude non-state interests from being the subject of proceedings if one state brings the case against another. Therefore, Sikhs may be able to bring a case against India through another member state - this would probably need to be a legal dispute concerning a Sikh homeland.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
