1. Principle: Relatives of victims of extrajudicial killings are entitled to know the truth about the circumstances surrounding these killings and the identities of the perpetrators
2. Principle: Society as a whole is entitled to see perpetrators of extrajudicial killings identified and brought to justice
3. Principle: Governments are under the moral and legal obligation to carry out, in good faith, investigations into cases of extrajudicial killings occurring on their soil.
The Submission to the Special Rapporteur, for which Mr. Davidsson alone is responsible, demonstrates that the United States government has failed to act in conformity with these principles:
1. It failed to positively establish the identities of the perpetrators of the mass murder of September 11, 2001, the identities of the planners and sponsors and the identities of the tools of crime. It thus grossly failed to establish the truth on this massive deprivation of the right to life, to which the relatives of the victims and society as a whole are morally and legally entitled.
2. It failed to bring any of the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors to justice, thus failing the expectation of the international community, as reflected in UN Security Council Resolution 1368 of September 12, 2001.
3. It attempted to prevent investigations of this mass murder to take place, condoned the destruction of forensic evidence, gagged witnesses and suppressed evidence crucial to understanding what happened on the fateful day.
The mass murder of September 11, 2001 represented a crime against humanity. As none of those responsible for this crime against humanity have been brought to trial, the Special Rapporteur is called upon, in the light of the "stakes involved for international peace, international law and human rights" and in conformity with his Mandate, to "seek explanations from the US authorities for their failure to (a) adequately investigate the events of 9/11; (b) positively identify the authors of the crime; and (c) bring them to justice." Moreover, the Special Rapporteur is requested to present his findings "to the appropriate UN bodies" as envisaged by his Mandate.
Editors and politicians are encouraged to join in requesting that UN human rights bodies, including the Special Rapporteur, seek explanations for the failure by the United States government to fulfil its international obligations with regard to the crime against humanity committed on September 11, 2001.
