    A legal action against genocide
     
    The execution of a sophisticated, insidious, 'corporate engineered' human genocide & environmental tradgedy 
    A prosecution can be considered by the ICC on the referral of an individual. We are curating a submission co-operation
    An International Criminal Court [the ICC] with the jurisdiction to prevent this genocide

    ​We live witness 
    to a WAR between

    the AMAZON RAINFORESTS

    indigenous & river

     PEOPLE

     

    The catastrophic construction of Belo Monte & the 60 other dams planned for Brazil's Amazon rivers, represents the fight for an ecosystem 
    which provides 20% of the worlds oxygen; 
    possibly 30% of the worlds fresh water, "the worlds most critical finite resource" according
    to Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary General;
    The origin for 25% of our precious medicinal plants; Home to 33% of the worlds species including the white cheeked spider monkey & black cheeked saki monkey & a rainforest 
    crucial to our earth for nature's balance. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     


     

    THE CLEAN ENERGY ALTERNATIVES 

    ​​SOLAR POWER & EFFICIENCY TECHNOLOGY
    THE SUPERIOR SOLUTION FOR BRAZIL TO SUPPORT
    Protecting this precious environment for humanity.
     
     
    Individual shareholders who personally profit from the actions of these companies, secure an anonymous identity, protected by law.  Allowing their avoidance of public accountability for the crime, for which they are the ultimate beneficiares of monetary wealth.  
     
    Government politicans & representatives who hold public office, do not have amnesty from the crime of Genocide whilst they remain in office.
     
    The directors & executives of companies & the individuals involved who are investors or active parties 
    in the financing, licensing & construction, are to be investigated for liability.
     of Belo Monte are liable

    Brazil is a state party to the Rome Statute which governs the charge of Genocide with the ICC & therefore must surrender suspects for trial upon request.

    protecting a way of life we all once knew
    This Campaign's Objectives

    ​​We seek the following results:​

     

    Individuals of Credibility or Compassion add their “INDIVIDUAL” video, voice or signature requests, to amass a large collective refferal to the ICC, requesting the court open the case investigation to prevent this genocide. Every voice counts & we hope to secure some most respected & influential in the world

     

    One of the world's best corporate law firms
    take the case pro-bono & work with all organizations & individuals active in trying to stop Belo Monte to develop the basis of information for the International Criminal Courts pre-trial chamber to assess & approve the prosecutor to open an investigation. 

    Expertise in prosecuting a corporate engineered genocide is unlikely to exist so we need an ethics leading corporate firm willing to take the challenge & develop the law which

    distinguishes between corporations of high moral & ethical character Vs. companies who violate United Nations Conventions, break national laws, ignore OECD responsibility recommendations & disregard IFC guidelines.  A corporate law firm offers unique value to develop the prosecution of a white collar genocide, where the corporate paper trail covers multiple Brazilian judiciary actions & communications with the accused individuals.

     

    Motivated by the quality and quantity of individual requests that this campaign acquires & the quality of legal information prepared for the case, the ICC schedule an urgent pre-trial chamber to assess & then approve the prosecutor to open a case with speed & priority, given it’s nature of Genocide “prevention” & the fast pace of construction.

     

    The corporation directors & executives & government office representatives who are a party to the Belo Monte dam & any other dams effecting a genocide against the indigenous people in the world, immediately halt their construction, financing & licensing activities as a result of their individual corporate & government representatives being investigated. 

     

    The Belo Monte companies are held liable to continue labor remuneration to miagrant workers & pay for their relocation.  The Brazilian people avoid 60 dams x 30 billion budgets, totalling a potential 1,8 trillion added to their national debt secured by future genations taxes in order to ensure current governments GDP ranking for G8 power.  Also that companies in the future build their own solar energy supply, without subsidising their power requirements with tax payer money.

     

    The Brazilian Government alters its energy plan to support projects for the alternative positive energy of solar power & energy efficiency technology rather than damming up the Amazonian rivers with more than 60 inefficient & economically unviable dams which will choke a precious eco system.

     

    The directors, executives & government officials responsible for the crime are found guilty beyond reasonable doubt and held accountable for their crime with appropriate prison time and fines.

     

    Legal Precedence is established whereby individual corporate directors and executives will in the future, be held personally accountable for their decisions to profit from a genocide against indigenous people.  Whereby such accountability can be used to prevent more genocides than any other legal precedence has ever enabled in history.

      

    That this law may prevent development which is destructive to natural habitats of indigenous people & wild animals.​

    redefining VALUE
    let people & nature prevail over industry to 
    Define WEALTH as LIFE, CULTURE & NATURE UNTOUCHED

     

     

    ​legal justification  

    for International Jurisdiction
          the failure of Brazil's judicial system.

     

    Internationally, the Inter-American System of Human Rights [IACHR] granted precautionary measures, requesting that the Brazilian government immediately suspend construction and all licensing for the Belo Monte Dam, to protect the rights to life and health of affected communities.  The Brazilian Government have fought, reacted in a hostile manner or ignored these requests.  

     

    Belo Monte does not meet IFC standards or abide by the OECD recommendations for responsible enterprises.

     

    The authorization of Belo Monte by Brazil's National Congress by means of Legislative Decree no. 788/2005, violated the right to free, prior and informed consent guaranteed to the indigenous peoples who are affected by the project.

     

    Belo Monte violates Article 231 of the Federal Constitution and the international human rights norms, including, The United Nations Convention 169 of the International Labor Organization, the Americana Convention on Human Rights, the San Salvador protocol and the jurisprudence of the Inter-American System of Human Rights (IACHR).

     

    Brazil's Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF), filed 13 Civil Public Actions & 2  Actions of Administrative Fraud in 2012 to stop Belo Monte.  Nearly all of the 32 + lawsuits with individual & collective demands of indigenous & national people are awaiting trial in Brazil's Judiciary.  Most remain unresolved, due to unjustified delays, jurisdiction conflicts or the abusive use of the legal instrument known as "suspension of security”.  This is “an authoritarian & anti-democratic legal instrument frequently employed by judiciary powers in the rulings of high courts to impose political decisions on legal judgments, paralyzing their implementation while guaranteeing that the interests of the government and the private sector are met. This device defers the possibility of definitive judicial rulings on the legality & legitimacy of the legislative & administrative measures taken during the environmental licensing of Belo Monte.” 

     

    The International Criminal Court (ICC) is a permanent tribunal to prosecute individuals for genocide.  The ICC has jurisdiction with regards to the Belo Monte Genocide because the accused are nationals of state parties to the Rome Statute & the alleged crime is taking place on the territory of a State Party.  As party to the Statute, Brazil must surrender suspects for trial.  The ICC is intended as a court of last resort, investigating and prosecuting only where national courts have failed.  

    ​Change can be immediate, if designed & desired.

    ​

     

    The Crime of Genocide includes the acts of conspiracy, incitement, attempt & complicity to commit Genocide by deliberately inflicting on a national, ethnical or racial group, conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction”, “committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part,”  

    Definition C, Article 6 of the Rome Statute governed by the International Criminal Court & The 1948 Prevention & Punishment of Genocide Convention, Article III. Financing, constructing & licensing the Belo Monte dam commit the acts of Genocide.
