Nations against U.S. move cite international law violations, regional instability

The advocacy of war in Syria by the United States and its allies is meeting stiff escalatory resistance,

with countries including Russia, China and Iran citing international law violations, regional

destabilisation, and the fragility of the international economy as arguments against a military

intervention.

As the drumbeat of war grew louder, Russia quietly decided to strengthen naval presence in theMediterranean Sea close to the Syrian coastline. A Russian anti-submarine warship is now steaming

towards the Mediterranean coast. The Russians made it clear that their deployments are in response

to the situation surrounding Syria.

The well-known situation shaping up in the eastern Mediterranean called for certain corrections to

the make-up of the naval forces, an unnamed source in the Russian General Staff was quoted as

saying by Russian news agencyInterfax.A large anti-submarine ship of the Northern Fleet will join

them [the existing Russian naval forces] over the next few days. Later it will be joined by the Moskva,

a rocket cruiser of the Black Sea Fleet, the source added.

By announcing their intentions, the Russians seemed to have reinforced the point that a conflict inSyria could quickly acquire a dangerous international dimension, as the area is already teeming with

American and British warships.

On Thursday, the Iranians, masters in the art of psychological warfare, sent messages along a dual

track to the western powers.

Irans recently elected President Hassan Rouhani counseled the U.S. and its allies to respect

international law in their decision-making on Syria, which has been accused of mounting a chemical

attack last week on the outskirts of Damascus.

Simultaneously, top Iranian military commanders, including chief of staff of Iran armed forcesHassan Firouzabadi, warned bluntly that they would incinerate Israel, if Syria was attacked, raising

the spectre of uncontrolled regional escalation. Head ofIrans Islamic Revolution Guards Corps

(IRGC) Mohammad-Ali Jafari stressed that the U.S. would face another Vietnam-war scenario if it

targeted Syria.

Persisting with its strategic partnership with Moscow since Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi was

toppled and executed nearly two years ago, China has slammed the Americans for threatening Syria

with a war. An editorial in China Daily, rebuked Washington for pursuing a regime change agenda

in Syria. Ten years ago, the U.S. and its allies sidestepped the U.N. and orchestrated a forceful

regime change in Iraq on the pretext that the regime possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction

(WMDs), this should not be allowed to happen again. Refusing to mince its words, the daily warned

that it was high time the U.S. learned from its past mistakes and reined in its wild ideas of military

intervention in yet another country. Separately, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi reiterated that apolitical resolution has, from the very beginning, been the only way out for the Syrian issue.

The Chinese have also been highlighting the negative fall-out of the escalating Syrian crisis on the

global economy. A commentary that appeared in thePeoples Dailyobserved that, The looming

attack has already sent chills through the world economy, as global stocks tumbled on Tuesday while

oil and gold prices surged to multi-month highs.

In the western camp, the ardent advocacy of a military strike seemed to lose considerable steam by

Thursday. In Britain, the opposition Labour Party seemed unconvinced about the justification of

waging a war against Syria. The coalition government of Prime Minister David Cameron is

confronting a growing number of sceptics in parliament who do not wish to repeat the Iraq

experience, when a military invasion against Baghdad materialised a decade ago on the false pretext

that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.

Is there an attempt by the Coal Ministry to destroy records in the coal blocks allocation case, the

Supreme Court asked and made it clear on Thursday that the Central Bureau of Investigation mustregister a First Information Report and probe the missing files on receipt of a report from the

government.

A Bench of Justices R.M. Lodha, Madan B. Lokur and Kurian Joseph did not accept the submission

of Attorney-General G.E. Vahanvati, who described the missing documents and files as a

controversy. Justice Lodha told him: It is too mild a statement. We want to know whether it is an

attempt to destroy the records. Why is there no clear information on the missing files? The missing

files are vital for the probe and truth must come out. You [government] cannot do like this. Your

explanation that files are being searched is not reasonable.

Justice Lodha told the AG: You cannot sit over the documents. All documents which are necessary

have to be made available. Many documents, minutes of meetings, draft minutes of meetings of the

screening committee are yet to be provided to CBI. We are making it very clear that it cannot go on

like this. There can't be any justification for not providing them. This will not help anyone. The

Bench said: Before the CBI conducts a probe into the case, we grant time to the Centre to find out

the missing files. If files are not available, then you lodge a complaint with the CBI.

Justice Lodha said: Record of [a] government office should not go anywhere. One original file is a

guard file which does not go anywhere. One has to work overtime to find out but it must be done.

3/3

The judge made it clear to the AG and Solicitor-General Mohan Parasaran that there could not be

any justification for the files going missing. The CBI probe must be done despite an inter-ministerial

committee, formed by the Centre, looking into the issue. It is an external committee. We are not

concerned about it.

When the AG said the government would cooperate with the CBI, Justice Lodha retorted, Whostopped you from doing so for the last four months?

The Bench, in its order, directed the CBI to give within five days a comprehensive list of missing

documents and records needed, and the government must hand over the documents sought by the

CBI within two weeks thereafter. The Centre should submit a report to the CBI on the missing or

destroyed files within a week thereafter to enable the agency to conduct a proper investigation.

Justice Lodha said that since the missing documents pertained to financial aspects of coal

allocations, it cannot be left as it is.

The Bench also referred to the disappearance of a PMO's reference letter to the Coal Ministry on

Congress MP Vijay Dardas alleged recommendations for coal block allocations to some firms. Why

was no FIR lodged on the missing document? the judge asked.

Pulling up the CBI for slow progress of enquiry into Coalgate, the Bench directed it complete the

probe in respect of all 169 companies allegedly involved in the scam by December 31, 2013.
