Follow on Google News | Power of the Internet Used to Expose War Criminals and GenocideIn a week when the E.U. says there is clear evidence of war crimes being committed in the D.R.C., a new website is launched that is dedicated to exposing war criminals. War Crimes TV is spreading awareness of gross violations of human rights.
By: Frederick Johnson This week, Jean-Baptiste Mattei, France's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, says both sides, in the conflict of the Democratic Republic of Congo, are carrying out executions and torture in the east of the country. He called on both the government and the rebels to stop the violence. War crimes, which include genocide or the mistreatment of prisoners of war, are unlawful acts committed during a war and considered in violation of the conventions of warfare. It is over one hundred and fort years since the first Geneva Convention on wounded soldiers came into force and yet today war crimes are still being practised. "The aim of War Crimes TV is to facilitate the spreading of awareness of gross violations of human rights and allowing persons to report on them independently" The War Crimes TV website allows users to upload appropriate videos and to start related blogs and forums. By developing an independent community against war crimes the website will expose war crimes using the power of the internet. About War Crimes TV War Crimes TV is an independent website owned by War Crimes Limited (UK). It is in no way affiliated with, nor loyal to, any political organisation or a commercial entity. Whilst War Crimes Limited (UK) and War Crimes TV are strongly against violence in it's entirety, to contribute to world peace they expose the ugly truth about the very reality of war and war crimes and to follow up with the necessary resources to bring awareness and education to the masses.
