To prevent the growing possibility of a new regional war an emergency
General Assembly meeting should be immediately called at the United
Nations to vote on resolutions needed to galvanize the world's
resources to locate and bring the World Trade Center terrorists to
justice.

Any quick and near unilateral US retaliation for the World Trade
Center and Pentagon terrorism would likely bring war and an
unprecedented level of instability into regions that are believed to
have biological or nuclear retaliatory capabilities. This is a serious
and real international security emergency for which the U.N is
mandated to lead and respond.

In the age of biological and nuclear warfare and, in an effort to
avert the escalating possibility of a new regional war or even world
war the following resolutions should immediately be enacted by the
General Assembly of the UN:

1. Authorizing the World Court in the Hague to immediately issue
international "John Doe" arrest warrants for all involved in
executing, planning or supporting the bombings.

2. Designating the necessary UN peacekeeping forces as authorized
agents of the World Court, the United Nations and the United States to
go anywhere in the world to apprehend all involved in executing,
planning or supporting the bombings.

3. Asking world governments, police and intelligence agencies to
assist the United Nations and World Court with all resources at their
disposal in discovering the identities of all involved in executing,
planning or supporting the bombings as well as apprehending and
bringing them to immediate trial before the World Court.

4. Asking all national and international banking organizations to
forgo any national or other secrecy laws and seize and freeze all bank
accounts of individuals or organizations identified as involved in
executing, planning or supporting the bombings and to hold those funds
in trust for possible reparations.

5. Authorizing an immediate and total goods, services, finance,
assistance and communications boycott by the international community
of any country identified as involved on a governmental level in
executing, planning or supporting the bombings.

6. Authorizing a public statement be made directly to all of the
peoples of the world asking them as individual nation/world citizens,
to directly assist the United Nations and the World Court.
Specifically asking them to use all resources at their individual
disposal to help in discovering the identities of all involved in
executing, planning or supporting the bombings and, to assist in
apprehending and bringing them to immediate trial at the World Court
and, to tell their governments to assist the U.N. and the World Court
in this world peace and justice emergency in every possible way.

7. Authorizing a public statement be made to all of the leaders of the
world's religions asking them to publicly condemn the bombings to
their congregations and, ask their respective congregations to assist
the United Nations and World Court to discover the identities and
bring to justice all involved in the bombings and, to tell their
respective governments to assist the U.N. and the World Court in this
world peace and justice emergency in every possible way.

We beseech the Secretary-General Of the United Nations Kofi Annan to
immediately make a statement along these lines;

"The UN's peacekeeping role has always been to confront and defeat the
worst in man with the best in man and to counter violence with
tolerance, retaliation with justice, might with moderation and war
with peace. The contemplated scope of the imminent US retaliation to
the terrorist bombings is an international crime and a matter of
international justice, peace, and world security. The UN has the
obligation to act as the international leader to demand an
internationally sponsored cooperative justice action and the pooling
of international justice enforcement resources and avert the
possibility of a new war.

While passions for a quick US retaliation are at their highest, the UN
is additionally obligated to the United States as its host country and
as a Security Council member nation to bring together all of the
resources of the world to rapidly bring the terrorists before the
World Court for their horrific crimes against humanity. Because of the
credible possibility that a large-scale military retaliation dominated
by the United States military could quickly escalate into a war
scenario with nuclear and biological possibilities, the UN has called
an emergency meeting of the General Assembly of the world's nations to
convene as soon as the representatives of the member nations can
convene.

The United Nations was created decades ago by the nations of the world
to resolve this very type of international war and security crisis.
The UN will have failed its founding mandate, its member nations and
all of humanity at the very moment of mankind's greatest threat if the
UN does not act and immediately lead in the mobilization of the world
community as well as prevent any member nations from acting without
first using the mechanisms of international law and justice.

In the past the UN has been criticized for too often being relegated
to passive or symbolic roles, but in this international crisis that is
no longer possible. The UN will this day stand firm as the authorized
representative of humanity and the peace and security of the
international community. It will act in accordance with the
international justice and peacekeeping mandates for which it was
created before the terrorist bombing crisis can escalate into the
possibility of a new regional or world war."

This plea to the UN and the World Court is brought to you by
Factnet.org. (http://www.factnet.org/) Factnet is a non-profit
organization that educates on the destructive effects of fanaticism in
political or religious cults created though systems of mind control.

This document is intended to provoke public dialogue on civilized,
effective methods for combating destructive terrorism using the rule
of international law and existing international mechanisms designed
specifically for such purposes.

As experts on destructive religious and political fanatics and cults
and how they are created, we are compelled to speak out at this time
to do what we can to prevent an escalation of an inappropriate
retaliatory cycle of violence.

This is because an escalation of an inappropriate retaliatory cycle
against terrorist/fanatics could first quickly and unintentionally
plunge us into regional or even world war with possibilities of
biological or nuclear retaliation and secondly, would be ineffective
in lessening the fanatics, their sympathizers/supporters or their
actions and, in fact, would most likely have the opposite effect of
escalating terrorist activities.

We believe that the United States as the most powerful country in the
world that is guided by and honors the rule of law. We believe that a
horrendous terrorist crime of unprecedented scope in world history has
been committed against the U.S. We believe that this is an
international crime in spite of its proportion.

Because it is first a crime it should first be counteracted by the
rule of international law and, because the U.S. as the most powerful
leader/nation in the world community it more than any other member of
the U.N. should be willingly to first use international law and
international mechanisms of law before any military action.

Bringing the terrorists to justice within the constraints of
international law and mechanisms of law with a majority co-operation
of the nations of the United Nations will certainly find and justly
punish the actual perpetrators of the terrorism without collateral
damage to innocents or the risks of dragging the world into a regional
or world war that could become biological or nuclear. Allowing the UN
to lead the international justice effort would also not drag the
American people and the United States as a nation down to the level of
the terrorist's lawless, anger-driven cycle of retaliatory barbarism.

More importantly, the highly public international "Nuremberg like"
trial in the World Court using judges of all nations would not only
insure world acceptance of the justice process and punishment but also
would educate the world as to how these terrorists were created. Both
this education and the punishment through the process of international
law would do more to help stop new terrorist acts and to inoculate the
peoples of the world against the spread terrorism than any near
unilateral quick retaliation by the US without the authority and
sanction of the United Nations and international law.

Apprehension by the UN and World Court and complete public exposure of
the terrorists using the process of international law would also do
more to change the minds, ideas and values of the terrorist's
sympathizers/supporters or potential new recruits than any escalating
cycle of reciprocating, retaliatory violence. Although slow, difficult
and expensive, international cooperative justice and law is truly the
most powerful tool for the eradication of world terrorism and for the
healing of terrorism victims and society.

Our sympathy and prayers go out to all the victims of the bombings and
for our world leaders to avert the real possibility of regional or
world war by having the courage and patience to act for co-operative
international justice. We must let less than 20,000 terrorists
worldwide destroy the peace, security and civilized law respecting
behavior of over 6 billion nation/world citizens. We must not let the
natural and understandable angry reaction to a horrific crime by its
victim be so dangerous and outside the legal mechanisms for handling
such a crime that the victim's retaliation endangers the survival of
every nation, man, woman and child on earth.

war.
