    A Petition for International Investigation Committee on Ariel Sharon’s crimes against humanity

    To: Mrs. Mary Robinson, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
    “History teaches that as long as the duty of justice has not been discharged, the spectre of war can re-emerge”, Judge Claude Jorda.

    WE, the undersigned, as the people of this planet, call urgently on Mrs. Mary Robinson to set up a committee to investigate the involvement of Ariel Sharon in war crimes against humanity according to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the General Assembly resolutions 260, 2391, 3074 and Security Council resolution 1296 of United Nations, on behalf of the victims of 1982 massacre of Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon. UN’s resolutions have made it clear that the perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity and War Crimes should be prosecuted and duly punished. It is also made clear that the total protection of civilians in an occupied country is in the hands of occupying army.

    In 1982, Israeli Army was an occupying force in Beirut (Lebanon); according to the international laws they had the responsibility of protection of all civilians under their control. At that time the Israeli Army was under total control of Israeli Defence Ministry, and Ariel Sharon was the Defence Minister. He visited Beirut and pledged total support for the Israeli allied Lebanese Christian Militia. Ariel Sharon himself gave the green light to Lebanese Christian Militia to enter the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila in west Beirut, which consequently resulted in the massacre, torture and rape of hundreds of unarmed civilians, mainly women and children.
    The Israeli Army was not only monitoring the camps and did nothing to stop the massacre, but as a matter of fact, they paved the path for Militias to enter the camps. They had their direct and clear orders from the Israeli Defence Ministry not to interfere and give free hands and assistance to the Lebanese Christian Militia.

    “There was a clear obligation on political and military leaders to take reasonable steps to protect civilians when they made their orders. In a situation where civilians' lives were clearly at risk, the person giving orders was even more responsible than the ones carrying them out”, Judge Richard Goldstone.

    With the outbreak of news of massacre in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila, Israeli public was outraged and went on demonstration, and demanded the resignation of Ariel Sharon and an inquiry to the matter. Israeli Knesset took action and sat up a parliamentary committee to investigate Ariel Sharon’s involvement in this inhumane act of atrocity. As result of that inquiry, Ariel Sharon was found responsible for the actions of Lebanese Christian Militia, and consequently forced him to resign from his post as Defence Minister. But of course, as he is an Israeli and these crimes were not committed against Israeli nationals, he was never charged and never appeared in any court of justice in Israel.

    Now the time has come, all evidences and documents are gathered and ready to set up an investigation committee in order to bring those responsible ones to justice beyond their social or political status.

    May justice prevails and heals the wounds of survived victims.

    I agree, and while we do so, perhaps you could sign my petition to try Yassir Arafat for similar violations.

    hi how are u mr. impartial?
    do not u think that u have already done a huge mistake in your rude participation ?
    do u think yourself that u are enough smart to be on the israeli's side and defend that stupid frog called sharon, and accuse mr.arafat who is seeking to get some little freedom for his people?
    i do not know , you look from your contribution that u have never read the real history of the middle east,
    do not u know that the state of israel have been founded by jewish gangsters who have done many massacres and murdered thousands of palestinians just to get their target?
    maybe i understand your opinion because the u.s. have many caracteristics in common with stupid israel.
    that the u.s. is stealing the fuel from the gulf and taking it away to its factories. The u.s. is also trying to apply the new economic system (globalisation) on the whole world just to have more control on earth resources and natural fortunes,and there is one more dangerous matter that your great wraping american military had used radioactive materials in weapons and missiles used to kill another arabic people : the iraqian people in 1990.
    you see , all these activities had been achieved by the u.s. that refuse the palestinian resistance against the israeli army (that is known as chiken), meanwhile in the 40s , u.s. agreed with the french resistance against hitler.
    honestly , actual u.s. and the past germany of HITLER are alike in killing , in stealing , and in wraping.
    finally , do u still proud of being american?????????????
