From the article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuala_Lumpur_War_Crimes_Commiss... ): The former United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers, Param Cumaraswamy, has suggested the tribunal is a private enterprise with no legal basis and questions its legitimacy.[13] The tribunal does not have a UN mandate or recognition, no power to order arrests or impose sentences, and it is unclear that its verdicts have any but symbolic significance.[14]
The KLWCC seems to exist solely to bitch and moan about the United States and Israel. It reeks of strong anti-American and anti-Israeli (and very likely pro-Islamic) bias. This isn't to mention that its founder has a reputation for antisemitism - beliefs that make for a very handy explanation as to why the United States and Israel are the only countries which have been the subject of condemnations by this particular organization. |
