Paramilitary group “Tao Zen Dojo” & Academy of Combat Fitness & UCCA
Commando Combat Academy & ICS Fight
Club Institute of Combat Studies
Pronouncement
on INTERPOL
November
25, 2018
Dear President Kim Jong Yang,
First,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that based on numerous evidences of bad behavior and
paramilitarism, Deepak Rao has
received an ethical judgment within the Buddhist Community, reason why he and
his organization were investigated and expelled as members of the United Buddhist Nations Organization (UBNO);
Second,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee continues to denounce that Deepak
Rao is Responsible for Violation of International Buddhist Law,
Violation of the Rights of Buddhist Peoples, Violation of the Buddhist Ethical
Precepts, Fraud, Militarism and Crimes against Peace;
Third,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee manifests itself again about the Violation of Cultural Heritage
that Deepak Rao has committed after
fraudulently and publicly having called himself as Zen Master and Psychoanalyst,
despite the fact that he does not possess any kind of knowledge in those
disciplines, carrying out this same usurpation with the alleged possession of a
Degree in Law;
Fourth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee denounces the fact that Deepak
Rao leads a paramilitary group that teaches to kill people, which
constitutes a High Treason against the Dharma, which is explicitly forbidden
by the Buddhist Ethics and Law, being a Supreme Offense against the International
Morality and the Sanctity of Life and a Violation of the Human Right to
Peace as well;
Fifth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee denounces that Deepak Rao
suffers from obvious symptoms of Paranoia,
which has led the Committee to request the annulment of his honorary rank of Major in the Indian Army, since he has a
series of absurd and delirious beliefs because he believes he is being a victim
of an international conspiracy led by a Buddhist Master in order to defraud
him, all of which emerged from a Zen Course where he refused to carry out a
research project, so that the Interpol should be careful in following the
delusions of persecution on the part of this individual with paranoid psychosis;
Sixth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that although Deepak
Rao has questioned about the validity of the jurisdiction of the Buddhist
Committee and Tribunal to the INTERPOL,
both he himself and his organization have previously accepted the jurisdiction
of the Buddhist Committee and Tribunal on several previous occasions, because
when joining the UBNO they signed
the UBNO Constitution, the Universal Declaration on the Rights of
Buddhist Peoples and Spiritual Communities, and also the Internal Law of the Maitriyana Buddhist
Community, and therefore in such legal instruments there is a validation of
the jurisdiction of the International
Buddhist Ethics Committee as a means of resolving conflicts;
Seventh,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that the UBNO Constitution clearly states that those Buddhist communities promoting violence will be considered as terrorist organizations, which is
why it can be perfectly applied to the paramilitary organization of Deepak Rao, especially bearing in mind
his constant attacks against the Buddhist cultural heritage and the integrity
of the International Buddhist Community (Maha-Sangha);
Eighth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that the Buddhist Committee and Tribunal is protected by
international human rights treaties, such as the 169th International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention on Indigenous
and Tribal Peoples (1989), the Declaration
of United Nations on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (articles 5, 34 and
40, of 2007), and the American
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2016);
Ninth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that the Buddhist Committee & Tribunal is not a
court of Criminal Law or Civil Law, but is a court of Buddhist Law and
restorative ethical justice that follows the ancient model of Tribal Law, reason
by which it does not require any kind of endorsement by the States in order to
develop its Buddhist spiritual activities;
Tenth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that it expresses its total solidarity with INTERPOL faced with the kidnapping and
disappearance of its former president Meng Hongwei, who was recently illegally
detained in China, which merits rejection from the Human Rights organizations
and the Buddhist Ethics;
Eleventh,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that INTERPOL
should not fail to protect its own president, so it should not accept the
alleged resignation of its former President Meng Hongwei, since this
denunciation – like any kind of confession – it would be inadmissible since it
happened in the context of an arbitrary detention and most certainly it would
not even have been written by Meng Hongwei, which is a position of the Buddhist
Committee and Tribunal that is also shared by Ronald Noble, former Secretary
General of Interpol;
Twelfth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that INTERPOL
should conduct an investigation against the Chinese authorities that have made
this violation of Meng Hongwei's fundamental rights and freedoms, since in case
of providing impunity to China this would strengthen the illegal and
undemocratic Path of totalitarian governments around the world, violating all
the main ideas of Natural Law;
Thirteenth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that China is carrying out arbitrary detentions in a
systematic and widespread way, even illegally detaining a million Uyghur
Muslims in the Xinjiang region, also carrying out the forced disappearance of
human rights activists and torture of prisoners, as was denounced by Human Rights Watch;
Fourteenth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that according to Human
Rights Watch, INTERPOL has not
responded to investigations showing that China abuses the use of Interpol red notices, harassing and detaining family members of political opponents
or corruption suspects in order to force them to return to China and then be
detained, even systematically using torture, which obviously means acts of
extortion or illegal punishment against people for the alleged actions of
others;
Fifteenth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that Xie Weidong, former judge of the Supreme People's Court, has been
harassed by the Chinese government in order to return from Canada, being
extorted by means of illegal detention and torture of his family, as is the
case of his sister and son;
Sixteenth, the International
Buddhist Ethics Committee confirms that China's use of Interpol's red notices to
persecute political dissidents would be a violation of Interpol's Article 4, which prohibits political intervention;
Seventeenth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that Interpol
should have effective mechanisms to prevent its members from abusing the use of
red alerts against political dissidents and human rights activists, especially
if they are member States with corrupt justice systems;
Eighteenth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that Transparency
International organization has studied the 7600 red alerts of Interpol in 2010, concluding that half of them
come from the most corrupt countries in the world, while Freedom House organization concluded that 2200 red alerts came from
countries that do not provide political rights or civil liberties;
Nineteenth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that the INTERPOL
staff should be composed of officials who are experts in human rights and not
mere government officials, because in this way it would prevent them from
following the perverse way of realpolitik,
which always puts political and economic interests over ethics and human
rights, since it should be avoided betraying the commitment assumed by the INTERPOL Constitution to comply with the spirit
of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights;
Twentieth,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that the Buddhist Tribunal has evidence that some member
states of INTERPOL, such as
Argentina, China, Eritrea, Iran, Myanmar, Pakistan, Syria, Thailand and
Venezuela, are carrying out crimes against humanity with total
impunity, which is why Interpol is
required to conduct an internal investigation to determine if those members are
committing violations of International Human Rights Law, which is obviously a
violation of the Interpol Constitution;
Finally,
the International Buddhist Ethics
Committee confirms that in case that Interpol
decides to pay attention to the delusions of the paramilitary leader Deepak Rao and decides to initiate
legal acts against the International Buddhist Community (Maha-Sangha), this
would be a profound violation of the rights of spiritual communities, and would
also be a violation of Article 3 of the very Interpol Constitution, which prohibits the
organization from carrying out any
activity or intervention of a religious nature.
Always
with spirit of reconciliation (maitri),
Master
Maitreya Samyaksambuddha
Judge and
President of the International Buddhist
Ethics Committee & Buddhist Tribunal on Human Rights
