Open letter to Bloomberg News re Lorettta Lynch and the ICTR

Submitted by Ann Garrison on Thu, 01/29/2015 - 18:06

TO: Bloomberg News and Bloomberg News writer Del Quentin Wilber

RE: Bloomberg News Report:  Rwanda Tribunal Taught Loretta Lynch Real Power of Prosecutors 

News outlets have been praising Loretta Lynch's credentials as a former Prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). Whatever else Loretta Lynch's qualifications may be, this is not a credential to praise or take pride in. Those who know the disgraceful history of victor's justice at the ICTR, and its service to the predatory US/NATO agenda in the Global South, are aware of this. See my KPFA News produced with CIUT-Toronto host Phil Taylor and published on the San Francisco Bay View website, for a start, "Phil Taylor: ICTR celebrates 20 years of establising impunity."

 

For in-depth documentation and analysis, read "Justice Belied: The Unbalanced Scales of International Criminal Justice," by ICTR defense attorneys Sébastien Chartrand and John Philpot, from Baraka Books. 

 

Thanks for your attention and I hope you may take this into account in future reporting on the ICTR and/or Loretta Lynch's role there. 

 

No justice, no peace,

No transcript; that's all I wrote to Bloomberg News reporter Del Quentin Wilbur. Anyone else who cares to communicate with him about this can write to dwilber@bloomberg.net.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
