“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Q+A-How will the world's war crimes court act on Libya?

Reuters, Sun Feb 27, 2011

THE HAGUE Feb 27 (Reuters) - The United Nations Security Council has imposed sanctions on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and referred Libya's crackdown on anti-government demonstrators to the International Criminal Court.

Here are some questions and answers regarding the powers and procedures of the court, or ICC, based in The Hague.

WHAT IS THE ICC?

International Criminal Court in The Hague,
Netherlands

The ICC is the world's first permanent war crimes court. It was set up in 1998 by the Rome Statute with a mandate to investigate four grave crimes, namely state aggression, genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

The court has jurisdiction over crimes committed on the territory of "states parties" -- countries which have signed up to the court's jurisdiction -- or by nationals of states parties.

In addition, the court has jurisdiction over situations in any state where the situation is referred to it by the U.N. Security Council acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. WHY DID THE U.N. REFER LIBYA TO THE ICC?

Libya is not a signatory to the ICC and as such the court does not automatically have jurisdiction in Libya.

However, the ICC can investigate alleged crimes committed in Libya if Libyan authorities, possibly successors to Gaddafi's administration, accept the court's jurisdiction or if the U.N. Security Council asks the ICC prosecutor to take up the case.

This kind of referral has happened once before, in March 2005, following the conflict in Sudan's western Darfur region. The court has since indicted Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir for genocide and crimes against humanity in Darfur.

On Saturday, the Security Council did refer the events in Libya since Feb. 15 to the ICC.

WILL AN INVESTIGATION BE LAUNCHED?

When the office of the prosecutor receives the Security Council referral, the Rome statute requires that prosecutors carry out a preliminary examination of the available information to see whether there is reasonable basis to proceed with a full-fledged investigation.

To carry out this analysis, the prosecutor may seek information from states, organs of the U.N., intergovernmental or non-governmental organisations, or other reliable sources.

The prosecutor may then decide to open an investigation based on several conditions, including whether a crime within the jurisdiction of the court has been or is being committed, whether the crimes are grave enough, and whether national proceedings are genuinely being carried out.

As a court of last resort, the ICC's task is to try those most responsible for violence, but it will only act if there are no proceedings taking place at a national level.

HOW QUICKLY WILL THE PROCESS MOVE?

In its resolution on Libya on Saturday the U.N Security Council invited the ICC prosecutor to address the council within two months of the adoption of the resolution and every six months thereafter to report on actions taken.

Were Gaddafi to fall and a new government cooperative with the ICC to come into place, the investigation and possible prosecution of individuals could become easier.

Referrals to the ICC can be cancelled. Under the Rome Statute, the U.N Security Council can freeze investigations or prosecution proceedings for rolling periods of 12 months by making such a request to the ICC. (Reporting by Aaron Gray-Block and Greg Roumeliotis; editing by Alastair Macdonald)
