From the Baltasar Garzón International Foundation (FIBGAR) An action has been launched on the Osoigo social advocacy platform, with which they seek to get the politicians of the Congress of Deputies to take a position and say why Spain leaves thousands of victims of crimes against humanity without protection, When Universal Jurisdiction Could Apply.
After the international launch this 12 March 2018 of the Universal Jurisdiction Annual Report, prepared by the TRIAL International organization and its partners Baltasar Garzón International Foundation (FIBGAR), Fidh, ECCHR y REDRESS, leading organizations in the promotion and defense of Universal Justice and the fight against impunity, now they seek the support of 1500 signatures that help involve political spokespersons in the fight against impunity for crimes against humanity.
“Universal Jurisdiction is here to stay, and for this we need both the awareness of our society and the involvement of our politicians”, supports FIBGAR.
In Spain, The application of Universal Jurisdiction was very limited after the reforms to the Organic Law of the Judiciary (LOPJ) of 2009 and 2014, that were triggered by the causes opened to China for the genocide in Tibet, and we must fight “so that it continues to be a valuable and necessary tool for the prosecution of the most serious crimes.”.
FIBGAR assures that if they achieve 1500 support In ten days politicians from all parties will answer the aforementioned question of why Spain leaves thousands of victims of crimes against humanity without protection, When Universal Jurisdiction Could Apply, and will look for concrete answers Susana Sumelzo(PSOE), Oskar Matute (EH), Carles Campuzano(PDeCAT), Eduardo Maura (We can), Iñigo Barandiara (EAJ-PNV), Ester Capella (ERC), Nacho Prendes (Cs) and Eloy Suarez(PP).
