Press Release: Massachusetts School Of Law
17/06/08 "ICH" -- - A conference to plan the prosecution of
President Bush and other high administration officials for war
crimes will be held September 13-14 at the Massachusetts School of
Law at Andover .
"This is not intended to be a mere discussion of violations of law
that have occurred," said convener Lawrence Velvel, dean and
cofounder of the school. "It is, rather, intended to be a planning
conference at which plans will be laid and necessary organizational
structures set up, to pursue the guilty as long as necessary and, if
need be, to the ends of the Earth."
"We must try to hold Bush administration leaders accountable in
courts of justice," Velvel said. "And we must insist on appropriate
punishments, including, if guilt is found, the hangings visited upon
top German and Japanese war-criminals in the 1940s."
Velvel said past practice has been to allow U.S. officials
responsible for war crimes in Viet Nam and elsewhere to enjoy
immunity from prosecution upon leaving office. "President Johnson
retired to his Texas ranch and his Defense Secretary Robert McNamara
was named to head the World Bank; Richard Nixon retired to San
Clemente and his Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was allowed to
grow richer and richer," Velvel said.
He noted in the years since the prosecution and punishment of German
and Japanese leaders after World War Two those nation's leaders
changed their countries' aggressor cultures. One cannot discount
contributory cause and effect here, he said.
"For Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and John Yoo to spend
years in jail or go to the gallows for their crimes would be a
powerful lesson to future American leaders," Velvel said.
The conference will take up such issues as the nature of domestic
and international crimes committed; which high-level Bush officials,
including Federal judges and Members of Congress, are chargeable
with war crimes; which foreign and domestic tribunals can be used to
prosecute them; and the setting up of an umbrella coordinating
committee with representatives of legal groups concerned about the
war crimes such as the Center for Constitutional Rights, ACLU,
National Lawyers Guild, among others.
The Massachusetts School of Law at Andover was established in 1988
to provide an affordable, quality legal education to minorities,
immigrants and students from low-income households that might
otherwise be denied the opportunity to obtain a legal education and
practice law. Its founder, Dean Velvel, has been honored by the
National Law Journal and cited in various publications for his
contributions to the reform of legal education.
