The Global Coalition To Bring Jiang Zemin To Justice
Resolution in Support of Falun Gong Practitioners'
International Lawsuits
against Jiang Zemin and China's 610 Office
Whereas: The Global Coalition To Bring Jiang Zemin To Justice was established on September 30, 2003; and
Whereas: About a hundred organizations and hundreds of individuals from all over the world have joined the Coalition, and the membership continues to grow; and
Whereas: The Global Coalition To Bring Jiang Zemin To Justice aims to expose Jiang Zemin's crimes, and to bring Jiang to the court of law as well as to the world's "court of conscience and morality;" and
Whereas: Jiang Zemin, China's former President and former Party Secretary General of the CCPC, abuses his official power, tramples China's constitution, created the 610 Office and positioned it above the law for the specific purpose of persecuting Falun Gong;
Whereas: Jiang forcibly deprives Chinese citizens of their freedom of belief; and
Whereas: Jiang's stated policy for destroying Falun Gong – "defame their reputation, bankrupt them financially, and destroy them physically" – has brought about incredible mental, physical, and economic suffering to tens of millions of Falun Gong practitioners and their families, and to date has caused the confirmed deaths of nearly 1,000 Falun Gong practitioners;
Whereas: This persecution has caused tremendous damage to Chinese society and human civilization; and
Whereas: Concrete evidence shows that Jiang and his followers have extended the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners to many countries overseas, including democratic countries, and that the persecution has posed a threat to citizen's safety in countries other than China; and
Whereas: Jiang's persecution essentially targets humankind's very conscience and morality; and
Whereas: Jiang is the primary person responsible for these crimes, and his actions have seriously violated the laws of China, including: constitutional law, criminal law, Law on Administrative Penalty, Administrative Reconsideration Law, Under Age Protection Law, the Law to Protect Women's Rights and Benefits, Educational Law, Civil Law, Labor Law, Nationality Law, Copyright Law, the Judges' Law, the Prosecutors' Law, the People's Police Law, Prison Law, Parade and Demonstration Law, Trial Methods for Implementation of Re-education Through Labor, Rules and Regulations for Appealing, Regulations on the Usage of Police Tools and Weapons by the People's Police of the People's Republic of China, Publication Administrative Regulations, Administrative Regulations on Radio and TVs; and
Whereas: Jiang's crimes have violated international treaties that China has signed, including: The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, The Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, The Convention on the Rights of the Child, and The Universal Declaration of Human Rights; and
Whereas: The legislative, judicial, and executive institutions of the People's Republic of China are prevented from adhering to virtue and conscience, are prevented from carrying out their responsibilities to justice and the law in order to bring Jiang and the 610 Office to justice, and cannot actively participate in the international lawsuits; and
Whereas: Some legal institutions and the governments of some countries have, under pressure from China, violated their own laws, conscience, and principles of state; and
Whereas: Falun Gong practitioners have chosen to carry out non-violent activities such as peaceful appeals and lawsuits in various countries, including China, to resist the persecution, safeguard human rights and freedom of belief; and
Whereas: Falun Gong practitioners have exhibited moral courage and self-sacrifice in their resistance to the severe persecution imposed on them by the entire state apparatus of the Jiang regime; and
Whereas: The lawsuits filed against Jiang Zemin for genocide and crimes against humanity will inevitably change the history of the Chinese nation and prevent these atrocities from recurring; and
Whereas: The rule of law must be safeguarded. The legal communities in China and throughout the world have the duty to uphold justice and to bring Jiang to trial; and therefore, be it
Resolved: That the Global Coalition To Bring Jiang Zemin To Justice will fully support valid lawsuits or legal complaints filed against Jiang Zemin, the 610 Office, and their accomplices, in any region or country around the world, that the Coalition will dedicate itself to the filing and hearing of such cases, and will assist in collecting and organizing the criminal evidence.
