【明慧网2002年9月5日】国际刑事法院是一个独立的常设法院,有权对那些严重违犯国际人道法规,犯下战争罪、危害人类罪、和灭绝种族罪的个人进行侦查和审判。与设在荷兰海牙的国际法庭(the International Court of Justice in The Hague)不同之处在于,国际刑事法院可以审判犯罪个人,而国际法庭只处理国家之间的官司。国际刑事法院的建立依据是“罗马公约”。该公约由联合国外交大会在1998年7月17日于罗马通过。自今年(2002年)7月1日,国际刑事法院正式生效并从联合国分离出来。这一天标志着从此以后发生的灭绝种族罪、战争罪、和危害人类罪,国际刑事法院有权对被指控责任者进行侦查和审判。国际刑事法院常设于荷兰的海牙,目前(2002年8月)已有78个成员国。
中国积极参与法院筹备委员会的会议,但是却不肯签署罗马公约。2002年7月10日在安理会上的一个声明中,中国代表声称,“尽管中国尚未成为国际刑事法院的成员国,我们支持国际刑事法院的独立、公正、和全面性。我们一直支持国际刑事法院的筹建,而且会继续紧密观察其运作。”
为什么中国不肯签署罗马公约而拒绝成为国际刑事法院的成员国呢?原因其实很简单。如果我们把罗马公约中关于“危害人类罪”的定义与江XX三年来对法轮功的所作所为进行比较,不难看出江XX是第一个应当被国际刑事法院审判的。而且江XX对法轮功的犯罪还在继续,他当然不敢签署罗马公约。可以百分之百地预测,只要江XX一天还在掌控大权,中国就一天不可能签署罗马公约。
国际刑事法院审判的依据就是罗马公约。此公约(包括中文在内的多种语言的译文版)可以在互联网上找到,网址是:http://www.preventgenocide.org/law/icc/statute/languages.htm
为了方便读者,罗马公约的第六条“灭绝种族罪”和第七条“危害人类罪”附于此文后面。江XX在“消灭”法轮功时犯下的种种罪行,包括 1)谋杀(至今记录在案的已有460名以上的法轮功学员在这场迫害中丧生), 2)奴役(数以万计的法轮功学员被关押于劳教所被迫做奴隶式的劳动),3)监禁(法轮功学员被判刑、送劳教所、甚至关进精神病院),4)酷刑(在洗脑班,在拘留所,在劳教所,对法轮功学员施以酷刑的现象非常普遍), 5)强奸(有数份报告记录了在劳教所管教的唆使下犯人强奸女法轮功学员的事例),以及6)其他不人道行为例如洗脑,都够得上是罗马公约中定义的危害人类罪。事实上,江XX用酷刑和杀戮来达到其“消灭”法轮功的目的,已经在犯下灭绝种族罪。

以下为本文英文译文:WHY CHINA NOT SIGN IN THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is a permanent court that has the power to investigate and bring to justice individuals who commit the most serious violations of international humanitarian law, namely war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Unlike the International Court of Justice in The Hague (a.k.a., the World Court), in which only states can bring suits against one another, the ICC will have the capacity to try individuals. The ICC was created on the basis of the Rome Statute, a treaty adopted in Rome on July 17, 1998 at the United Nations diplomatic conference.
On July 1, 2002 ICC came into force and officially separated from the United Nations. This date marked the beginning of the Court's jurisdiction over individuals accused of genocide, war crimes, or other crimes against humanity.
China actively participates in the Preparatory Commission meetings, but China has not signed the Rome Statute. In a statement at the Security Council on 10 July 2002, a representative of China remarked, "Although China is not yet a state party to the International Criminal Court, we support the independence, impartiality, and competence of the ICC that enjoys universality. We have continued to actively participate in the establishment of the ICC and will continue to follow closely its operation."
Why China does not want to ratify the Rome Statue and become a state party to the International Criminal Court? The reason is very simple. If one compares the definition for the crimes against humanity with what Jiang Zemin did to Falun Gong practitioners in the past three years, it is easy to find that Jiang Zemin should be the first person to put on tried in ICC. We can predict that China will not ratify the Rome Statue as long as Jiang Zemin is still in control of the power.
Rome Statue is the “Law” according to which ICC conducts its trial. Rome Statue can be found on the internet http://www.preventgenocide.org/law/icc/statute/languages.htm in several language translations. For the ease of readers, Article 6: Genocide and Article 7: Crimes Against Humanity are attached at the end of this article. The crimes Jiang Zemin has committed in his effort to “eradicate” Falun Gong, including 1) murder (it has documented more than 460 practitioners lost life due to the persecution), 2) Enslavement (tens of thousands Falun Gong practitioners have been sent into labor camps and forced to do slave labor), 3) imprisonment (practitioners have been jailed, sent to slave labor camps, or been locked up in mental hospitals), 4) torture (wide spread physical torture in “transform” classes, in detention centers, and in labor camps), 5) rape (several reports have documented rape of female practitioners by inmates who were encouraged by guards in the labor camps), and 6) other types of inhumane acts such as brainwashing, all rise to the degree of the Crime Against Humanity as defined in Rome Statue. The fact that Jiang Zemin using torture and killing to eradicate Falun Gong indicates he is committing the Genocide.
Article 6: Genocide

(e) "Torture" means the intentional infliction of severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, upon a person in the custody or under the control of the accused; except that torture shall not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to, lawful sanctions;
(f) "Forced pregnancy" means the unlawful confinement of a woman forcibly made pregnant, with the intent of affecting the ethnic composition of any population or carrying out other grave violations of international law. This definition shall not in any way be interpreted as affecting national laws relating to pregnancy;
(g) "Persecution" means the intentional and severe deprivation of fundamental rights contrary to international law by reason of the identity of the group or collectivity;
(h) "The crime of apartheid" means inhumane acts of a character similar to those referred to in paragraph 1, committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime;

3. For the purpose of this Statute, it is understood that the term "gender" refers to the two sexes, male and female, within the context of society. The term "gender" does not indicate any meaning different from the above.
