Only the second of its kind in history, the
International Moral Court
will document for the international community the Islamic Republic’s serial and
systematic abuse of human rights against the Iranian people”.
The Court by receiving allegations of gross and systematic violations of human
rights will convene, hear witnesses, examine reports and render it’s opinion and
judgement.
It will
hold it’s sessions at the behest of it’s President or Dr.Ganji, Iri crimes and
the Court organizer.
“The Paris Tribunal, by hearing from the immediate families of those killed and
from many tortured victims of the Iranian Regime, will attempt to arouse the
global conscience and seek to shame governments and multinationals into taking
actions in support, and not against, the people of Iran," said Dr. Ganji.
The Paris Tribunal held its first session, September 23-25, 2004 at the Paris
Hilton, La Defence, received testimony and heard witness from victims of human rights abuses by the Iranian regime. In
judicious and impartial performance of its function, the Paris Tribunal had
formally delivered notice to the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in
Paris, to send official representatives to also take part in its deliberations.
The Embassy had refused to do so.
Members of the
International Moral Court are individuals from nine different
countries with impeccable international respectability with authority on matters
of human rights, international law and public diplomacy. They report their
findings and recommendations to the international community.
The impetus for the creation of the International Moral Court on Iran was born
in 2002 – when the United Nations Commission on Human Rights surreptitiously
dropped the post of Special Representative on Violations of Human Rights in
Iran. That appeasing act was the result of actions by certain member states of
the world body that chose to pursue short term commercial, oil and gas,
interests with Tehran.
