Johannesburg - The Muslim Lawyers
Association (MLA) intends taking the
NPA to court for refusing to arrest
US President Barack Obama on his
South African visit later this month.
"We will ask the court to review the
decision neither to investigate or
prosecute and to order them to
commence a full investigation in
terms of the Rome Statute," MLA
attorney Yousha Tayob said.
The MLA said it submitted a
complaint to the national director of
public prosecutions and the SA
Police Service, calling for Obama to
be "investigated, charged, arrested,
and tried in a South African court for
war crimes, crimes against
humanity, and genocide".
The MLA cited the Obama
administration's drone programme
as the reason for its action.
The association said the complaint
was made in terms of international
customary law, as well as the
implementation of the Rome Statute
of the International Criminal Court,
Act 2002 (the ICC Act).
"The [drone] programme is
responsible for extra-judicial killings
of both innocent civilians as well as
US citizens abroad. The drone strike
policy has continued unabated with
total disregard for territorial
sovereignty and this is cited as the
primary reason that Obama should
be investigated and tried for war
crimes, crimes against humanity,
and genocide," the MLA said.
A drone is an unmanned aerial
vehicle. In a recent speech Obama
said the US used drones to target
people it considered a threat to its
national security when other
measures were not possible.
The National Prosecuting Authority
(NPA) confirmed receiving the MLA's
documents.
Tayob said the MLA received a letter
of reply from the state attorney's
office on Wednesday.
MRN also opposed
"They have decided they are not
commencing an investigation," said
Tayob.
The NPA was also not going to arrest
or secure Obama's attendance in a
court room.
Tayob said the application for a
review would be made next week,
probably in the High Court in
Pretoria.
The Media Review Network (MRN)
was also opposed to Obama's visit.
Executive director Iqbal Jassat said
the MRN planned a series of
protests over Obama's visits, over
the US government's use of drones,
its failure to stop the "occupation of
Muslim countries", and its not
shutting down the Guantanamo Bay
detention centre as promised.
The MRN supports the MLA's
planned legal action.
"We have rallied behind these
actions. Levels of pressure
developed by civil society would
force the US government to review
the purpose of this visit and possibly
lead to the cancellation," said Jassat.
A row is reportedly also brewing
over plans by the University of
Johannesburg to award Obama an
honorary degree.
According to a report in the Sunday
Independent, students were split on
this.
But deputy vice chancellor Tinyiko
Maluleke said the process was a
lengthy one, requiring high levels of
consultation and agreement, and
had not been finalised.
The process of nominating someone
for an honorary degree began with
discussions in the honorary degrees
committee, where candidates had to
receive 100% support.
From there, the nomination went to
the senate, which consisted of
senior academics and
representatives of the Students'
Representative Committee. After that
it, went to the council, which also
consisted of student representatives.
At each stage, a certain amount of
support was required.
"So when people say stuff has not
been consulted or students have
not been included, it's simply not
true. It's a very lengthy process,"
said Maluleke.
The same process applied to all
nominees.
