So what does it mean by Genocide or Crimes against Humanity and How are the crimes defined under the International Criminal Court ’s jurisdiction? Let’s quote the definition of the core crimes in the Rome statute of the International Criminal Court (I.C.C.). The Rome statute established 4 core international crimes : genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crime of aggression. Genocide: The Rome Statute defines the crime of genocide as any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group: • Killing members of the group • Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group • Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part • Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group • Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. Crimes Against Humanity: Crimes against humanity are defined as any of the following acts when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack: • Murder • Extermination • Enslavement • Deportation or forcible transfer of population • Imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law Torture • Rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity • Persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender, or other grounds that are universally recognized as impermissible under international law • Enforced disappearance of persons • The crime of apartheid • Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health. CRIME AGAINST COMMUNIST CHINA - Page 3 Further definitions of each of the proceeding qualifications are explained in Article 7, paragraph 2 of the Rome Statute. War Crimes: • Under the Rome Statute, war crimes are any of the following breeches of the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, perpetrated against any persons or property: • Willful killing • Torture or inhuman treatment, including biological experiments • Willfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health • Extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly • Compelling a prisoner of war or other protected person to serve in the forces of a hostile power • Willfully depriving a prisoner of war or other protected person of the rights of fair and regular trial • Unlawful deportation or transfer or unlawful confinement • Taking of hostages. Under the definition of war crimes, the Court will also have jurisdiction over the most serious violations of the laws and customs applicable in international armed conflict within the established framework of international law. These violations are defined extensively in Article 8, subparagraph (b) of the Rome Statue In the case of armed conflict not of an international character, the Court’s jurisdiction will cover breeches of Article 3 common to the four Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949. Crime of Aggression: The Court will have jurisdiction over the crime of aggression once a provision defining the crimes has been adopted. As referred to the above definition of Genocide and Crimes against Humanity by the I.C.C, we can impute these Crimes to the leaders of the People’s Republic of China which had and have been carried on through the blood thirsty hands of Ho Chi Minh, a vassal of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the VN Communist Party whose founder was HCM. In other words, let’s put the following questions: Who was Ho Chi Minh? and Where did he come from? CRIME AGAINST COMMUNIST CHINA - Page 4 Part I: Ho Chi Minh, author of the calamity of the VN people 1. Origin of Ho Chi Minh Nowadays, historical documents gave us a clear illustration of the true Ho Chi Minh (HCM). This man, as an unfailing disciple of Marxism-Leninism and of Maoism, had been entrusted by the Communist International to introduce this satanic and godless doctrine into Vietnam. In 1930 he founded the Indochinese Communist Party at Hong Kong and in 1941, the League of Vietnamese Independence (Viet Minh), which was the predecessor of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and of what is called today the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. In 1951, he founded the VN Labour Party at Tuyen Quang. In fact, all the political parties created by HCM took root in Communist China. HCM was the unique leader during the period (1946-1975) in which, with the massive military as well as human aid from Communist China, HCM inflicted catastrophic defeat on the French Army at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. This dramatic event resulted in the separation of Vietnam into two: North VN and South VN as commanded by the Geneva Agreements. After HCM’s death, the VN Communist Party had continued the armed struggle in compliance with its Master’s aspiration until it succeeded in invading South VN in 1975. It is in this sense that HCM had been considered by a majority of the North VN people as a national leader or even a national hero of the Indochinese and American Wars. However, over half a century ago, through many historical studies, the version by which HCM had been a Chinese agent was finally asserted. According to Prof. Ho Tuan Hung, (a historical researcher, graduated from the Faculty of History, Taiwan University), after many years of research on HCM’s life, in his work ‘HCM Sinh Binh khao’, (HCM’s life Study) published in 1946, concluded that HCM belonged to Hakko ethnic at Mieu Lat, Dong La, China and that HCM bearing the name Tong van So, had been dead of tuberculosis in an English prison at Hong Kong (with a note of decease). Tran Dinh, a Communist journalist who had followed HCM for many years, in his work ‘’Den Cu” (The light “Cu”, a cry of sufferings), revealed another point not less important, i.e., HCM spoke Hakko language very well, (one of the dialects spoken in Southern China) (1) and that HCM did CRIME AGAINST COMMUNIST CHINA - Page 5 never wish to see his brother and sister (on legal paper) named Nguyen thi Thanh (1884) and Nguyen sinh Khiem (1888) because HCM certainly did not like his identity to be revealed (1b). This version was approved by another author named Ngo Troc Luu in his book entitled ‘Ho Chi Minh’ written in Japanese. This point of view corresponded to that of the Chinese Communist local Newspaper ‘Cuong Son’. The above information coincided with the report of the Colonial Information Service through the voice of a State Secretary by which the true HCM was really dead in prison in 1932 and that this man had been already condemned to death in contumacy by a local tribunal in 1929. In other words, the true Nguyen Ai Quoc (NAQ) under the name of HCM, had only lived between (1890-1932), while the second half of his life (1933 -1969) was replaced by a false one, a disguised NAQ, precisely a secret agent named HO Tap Chuong, pseudonym of a Major Ho Quang of the Chinese Army who had been sent to Vietnam by the Communist International to lead the VN Communist Party. (1c); (14). As for the VN diaspora, an opportunity came to them when in 04/1989, the VN Communist Government sent to UNESCO a petition recommending HCM as a great man of the world on the occasion of his 100th birthday. A campaign of protestation against the VC scheme organized by the Vietnamese diaspora in the US collected more than 300 000 signatures sent to UNESCO including those of Mr. Quan Minh Dao, at that time president of the New Vietnamese Democracy Movement and Mr. Trong Nghia, a representing member of “Le Nghia Liem Si” Association (civilities and righteousness). They came to UNESCO and in a letter denounced HCM’s Crimes against Humanity for having caused deaths to more than 3 million persons during the Indochinese and American Wars. The Communist side defended its view by stating that, in 20-year wartime, the 2 opposite sides were all responsible for the killings and that, during such a long period, the number of 3 million deaths was still very small as compared with the number of victims in other Wars such as the First and the Second World Wars.
