By George Chaya *
In times not too distant, when the organism supranational were operating based on ethics and observance of international law, for case by the United Nations, the Security Council of the ONU in 1992 decided to apply harsh sanctions on the Libyan Arab Socialist Republic for his responsibility in the terrorist attack carried out by officials from their intelligence services who planted an explosive device in flight 103 of the airline Pan Am, which covered the London-New York route. The plane exploded in mid-flight on December 21th 1988 on the town of Lockerbie killing 259 of its passengers instantly and 11 other people on the ground. Such sanctions, including embargoes on Libyan assets anywhere in the world were extended until Sept. 12, 2003 in the government of Libya accept responsibility for the fact delivered to the perpetrators of the slaughter and its president, Muammar Khadaffi was able to cover the sum of 2,700 million dollars in compensation to the families of the victims of this heinous terrorist attack. Meanwhile, in an ethical and honorable, from the date of the attack most of the free countries of the international community refused to maintain commercial relations with Libya .
There was no doubt that Lockerbie is a very clear case of terrorism sponsored by a state actor ( Libya ) and executed by officials and under the same state.
At only 16 years for those responsible and ethical decisions of the Security Council, things have become head of the ONU today seems to have lost the parameters of ethics and justice and has not even understand that exists -state actors- to the service of states sponsors of terror, often confuses the public opinion from the heart of ONU podium is offered to the president of Iran, who download before the world racist threatening to the destruction of another member state of the ONU. However, nobody or very few dare to raise their voices becoming the exception to the rule of political correctness. The fact is that things should be the reverse. But they are not.
For these and many other reasons is that it becomes extremely important driving of the justice of the Argentine Republic whose externalization was embodied in the work of the prosecutor in charge of the AMIA Fiscal Unit of that country, Dr. Alberto Nisman has sent a very strong message in the fight against international terrorism in Argentina, Latin America and the world.
Days after the prosecutor requested an embargo, as is known legal figure in the legal normative Argentine-blocking and freezing of financial assets that are found as defined by U.S.A. law-the bank accounts of former Iranian officials in order Catch International: former president Ali Akbar Rafsanjani, former foreign ministers Ali Akbar Velayati and Information and Security Ali Fallahijan, former commander of the Revolutionary Guards Mohsen Rezai, former leader of the Quds Force and three former Ahmad Vahidi Officials of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the city of Buenos Aires, Hadi Soleimanpour, Moshen Rabbani and Ahmad Reza Ashgari, all of them are involved in the case of the car bomb who attack on the headquarters of the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA) in July 18, 1994. The Prosecutor's request also extends to the Lebanese pro-Iranian accused by the Argentine justice as a material author of the terrorist attack. Judgment suggest that "are frozen all bank accounts that have anywhere in the world", also contains a data even more important, establishing the link and complicity of the Iranian regime with non-state actors in the commission of terrorist acts and accused Iran Hezbollah as a compassionate and fully accountable for the damages caused to the life, integrity, health and property of the 85 dead who leave balance as the terrorist attack. The representative of the public prosecutor rose to the opinion before Federal Judge Rodolfo Canicoba Corral in the first civil suit filed in Argentine courts by a survivor of the attack.
The claim made by one of the victims-sponsored by the Argentine lawyer Pablo Jacoby, the Association of Active Memory, is the first to be made before the Justice Argentina, and argues that the terrorist attack, in which he suffered serious injuries, "enjoyed the structural support for their organization, financing and execution of the Iranian state apparatus, as well as authorship of the Lebanese Hezbollah organization . The Justice Department has confirmed that the decision to commit the attack was taken as part of "a policy of the Iranian state and to achieve them were used various agencies in that state, as well as the Hezbollah organization is subordinate to it." Accordingly, for the Argentine justice is demonstrated obvious what led to the action requested by Dr. Nisman, "the Islamic Republic of Iran is compassionate and responsible for the damage to life, physical and moral integrity of the victims."
It's true that the prosecutor should be resolved requested by the Federal Judge, but once the judge resolved the springs of justice should be put Argentina into action fully, as it is "an unprecedented judicial fact that realizes doubt that Hezbollah was responsible the terrorist attacks in Buenos Aires. "
In any case, it's important that the Courts did not stop at any point in all these years and are continuing to investigate. The measure requested by the prosecutor Nisman "is a very important breakthrough that comes from the civilian to accompany the criminal investigation so overwhelming" as it not only confirms the intellectual authorship of Iran , but confirmed the execution by the Hezbollah organization, accused as the main responsible of the terrorist attack on the Argentine Jewish Mutual.
Since politics is also an important event for the Argentine government, since when seeking the seizure of the accounts of officials prosecuted and Iran, demonstrates that today the Argentine Republic is proven facts and also the full certainty that Iran is a financier of international terrorism through Hezbollah, "which confirms the right direction and will positively in the investigation, as was said in the words of the president of Argentina in his speech last week at the United Nations headquarters when I request the presence of the accused before the Argentine Courts and at the same time give all the accused to due process and this is a step forward with regard to the AMIA case and the fight against terror in Latin America although the president did not refer As requested on several occasions by the leadership of the Argentine Jewish community, namely the cessation of trade relations existing today between Argentina and Iran.
The request for compensation by the victim is the first to be made before the Justice Argentina; the amount requested is U.S. $ 1,000,000. In any case the economic recovery will never be able to compose the loss of the lives of loved ones to family members, but it is a clear indication of progress in the fight that can and should rid itself from the legal system against the barbarism of international terrorism. The final decision of the ruling shall be taken by the Federal Judge Rodolfo Canicoba Corral, in charge of the case, to whom the prosecutor raised Nisman the request compensation. But what is clear is that "The decision to commit the terrorist act was adopted in the framework of a policy of the Iranian State and its realization were used for various agencies in that state, as well as the Lebanese Hezbollah organization," as indicated the text of the application.
Some relatives of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing took part as observers at the meeting of the ONU where there was that the vote on September 12 of 2003, on leaving happy to be expressed "have done to kneel Libyan dictator responsible for the death of her son", said the mother of one of the innocent dead.
It's hoped that the international community and international organizations strongly support the investigation by the Justice Argentina, so that in the near future, mothers, wives, sons, fathers and brothers of the innocent murdered that fateful July 18th 1994 in Buenos Aires City , also seen on his knees to terrorists that sponsored and carried out such acts abhorrent.
