ਗਲੋਬਲ ਨਿਆਂ: ਬੇਲਾਰੂਸ, ਮਿਆਂਮਾਰ ਅਤੇ ਭਾਰਤ ਦੇ ਟ੍ਰਾਂਸਨੈਸ਼ਨਲ ਕਦਮਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਸਬਕ
ਹਾਲੀਆ ਅੰਤਰਰਾਸ਼ਟਰੀ ਕੇਸਾਂ ਨੇ ਦਿਖਾਇਆ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਕੋਈ ਵੀ ਰਾਜ ਹੱਕਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਅੰਤਰਰਾਸ਼ਟਰੀ ਕਾਨੂੰਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਉਲੰਘਣਾ ਲਈ ਨਿਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਸੌਖਿਆਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਬਚ ਸਕਦਾ, ਭਾਵੇਂ ਉਸਨੇ ICC ਤੇ ਸਹੀ ਪਾਈ ਹੋਵੇ ਜਾਂ ਨਾ। ਦੁਨੀਆ ਨੇੜੇ ਤੋਂ ਦੇਖ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਭਾਰਤ ਦੀ ਟ੍ਰਾਂਸਨੈਸ਼ਨਲ ਦਬਾਅ ਅਤੇ ਦੋਸ਼ਪੂਰਨ ਗਤੀਵਿਧੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਇਸੇ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਚੁਣੌਤੀ ਦਾ ਸਾਹਮਣਾ ਕਰਨਾ ਪੈ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ।
Global Justice: Lessons from Belarus, Myanmar, and India’s Transnational Actions
Recent international cases have shown that no state can evade scrutiny for actions violating human rights and international laws, regardless of their ICC membership. The world is watching closely, and India’s policy of transnational repression and alleged global criminal activities might soon face similar challenges on the global stage.
Case Studies: Belarus and Myanmar
Lithuania vs. Belarus
Belarus, despite not being a signatory to the International Criminal Court (ICC), is facing international legal challenges due to a referral by Lithuania, an ICC member state.
This case underscores that perpetrators of alleged crimes against humanity can be held accountable through ICC mechanisms if any member state takes action.
Bangladesh vs. Myanmar
Similarly, Bangladesh, an ICC member state, brought Myanmar to court for crimes committed against the Rohingya, even though Myanmar is not an ICC signatory.
This landmark case shows that the ICC’s jurisdiction can extend to crimes affecting member states or their territories.
ICC: Bangladesh-Myanmar Case
India’s Transnational Repression
India has been accused of engaging in globalized transnational repression, with serious allegations highlighted by the RCMP in Canada and the FBI in the USA. These include violent activities and targeting of individuals critical of the Indian government abroad.
Ghar Mein Ghuss Ke Maarege Policy
India’s stance of “enter and attack” (ghar mein ghuss ke maarege) has fueled accusations of planning targeted killings and repression abroad. For example:
These actions reflect patterns of transnational repression, similar to what has been condemned globally in the Belarus and Myanmar cases.
Why India Cannot Escape Scrutiny
Just like Belarus and Myanmar, India’s actions may come under ICC jurisdiction through referrals by ICC member states, particularly where Indian activities violate international norms.
Global Pressure: Countries like Canada and the USA, where these allegations have surfaced, may seek international legal recourse.
Pakistan’s Role: With Pakistan’s strong military ties to NATO, including F-16 acquisitions, dismissing Pakistan as just a smaller neighbour of India would be a miscalculation. Pakistan is designated Major ally of NATO on basis of which it can access F16 technology.
