Streamlining Offshore Advocacy on Manus and Nauru

Friends, I had communicated in December 2017 to Dr Peter Maurer, the chief of ICRC, about Australian Government and its offshore enslavement situation. In the aftermath of the death of two more asylum-seekers on Manus and Nauru, we have called up in July 2018 to ICRC again to evacuate the asylum-seekers ( http://www.aus4iccwitness.org/node/59). We, the in the general public, briefly noted the ICRC chief visited to Nauru and Canberra in October 2018. So far, I had no further information on this initiative.

With current situation of which the LNP cohorts are continue in charge of executive government, it is prudent to streamline our offshore advocacy, not only to ICC, but also to the United Nations Organisation. As you all are aware, the current enslavement situation encompasses the three states: Australia, Nauru and Papua New Guinea. All these states are covered by 1926 Slavery Convention (& Geneva Convention), but only Australia and Nauru had signed up the ICC Rome Statute. Therefore, Manus Island had fallen outside the jurisdiction of ICC since PNG is a state not party to the ICC. Therefore, it is warranted to call up the UN Organisations for help to intervene on this enslavement situation.

It is as a matter of interest in International Laws, whether ICC had the mandate to act upon situation that primarily on state not a party to ICC. Late last year, the Prosecutor of ICC had asked the Court, whether it would have the mandate to look into situations in states not party to ICC. The Prosecutor was asking specifically about the mass displacement of the so-called "Rohingya" ethnic group from Arakan State in Myanmar/Burma, where Burma is not party to ICC. The victims of displacement (prospective complainants) are in Bangladesh which is a signatory to ICC. That ICC court decision indicated that the ICC had some authority to at least look into the situation where the problems originated in the state not party to ICC. So, Manus Island situation is not exactly out of the loop from ICC. Anybody interested can look details in this link (http://www.aus4iccwitness.org/legal-resources/20180906_icc-ro-jurisdicti...).
