'Enforced disappearance' part of crimes listed under Rome Statute

Malaysia’s withdrawal from the Rome Statute means that culprits behind the abductions of two activists would no longer be subjected to the International Criminal Court.

The Statute among others suggests that “enforced disappearance” could also fall under the category of crime against humanity if the victim is unaccounted for. It defines enforced disappearance as “the arrest, detention or abduction of persons by, or with the authorisation, support or acquiescence of, a state or a political organisation, followed by a refusal to acknowledge that deprivation of freedom or to give information on the fate or whereabouts of those persons, with the intention of removing them from the protection of the law for a prolonged period of time”.

It comes just two days after Suhakam declared Pastor Raymond Koh and Amri Che Mat victims of “enforced disappearances”, and blamed Bukit Aman’s Special Branch for their abductions based on testimonies from some 40 witnesses during its year-long inquest.

If it helps to remove the fickle minded leaders or topple pakatanharapan_ in total, probably HRHJohorII would be more convinced to support the Statute. chedetofficial SyedSaddiq mariamAdmrlGen mariachin PPBMofficial Ambiga_S bersih2 SUHAKAM SUARAMtweets OfficialJohor
