The Netherlands.
Dear ICC Office of
the Prosecutor:
As
president of the UN NGO Humanitarian Resource Institute, I would
like to call for immediate action by the Office of the Prosecutor,
International Criminal Court (ICC), to address the atrocities, war
crimes and crimes against humanity that have been documented in Syria
during the last 11 months. The failure of the UN Security Council
to
advance a formal resolution in support of humanitarian assistance, due
to the Veto by China and Russia, has prompted international outrage as
the crisis continues to spiral out of control, without any protection
of civilians, women and children, that are being exterminated as you
read this communication.
This
humanitarian crisis, involving war crimes and crimes against
humanity, has prompted two emergency sessions of the UN General
Assembly. Today, it is our request that the ICC use the resultant
supporting materials, included on the Syria:
International Humanitarian and Security Discussions portal, as a basis
for immediate action:
In deepest
appreciation for your response to this humanitarian catastrophe,
Stephen
M. Apatow
