Phil interviews international lawyer Christopher C. Black of Toronto about two Myanmar soldiers who allegedly "confessed to war crimes" in Rakhine State.
Black sharply criticizes the process by which the soldiers were videotaped making statements, contrary to the Geneva Convention, as well as their illegal transfer to Holland where they are being held without due process or the benefit of Habeus Corpus.
Black argues that the kidnapping of the soldiers violates the sovereignty of Myanmar and fails to recognize that Myanmar armed forces are facing coordinated attacks by foreign-backed rebel armies whose aim is regime change against the country's socialist government.
From his long experience with the ICC, ICTY, and ICTR, Black concludes that the International Criminal Court is a political tool of Western imperialism against countries of the Global South.
The ICC, he says, is a court which engages in indictments and show trials against leaders of these countries, as an object lesson to other countries not to resist the designs of the USA and EU.
