I also note that Human Rights Watch delivered one open letter to Federal Party Leaders on Human Rights Priorities, dated May 9, 2011. It stated: “We would welcome the opportunity to provide you and members of Parliament with additional information on our work, and to engage in discussion about how we might work together in the future to protect and promote fundamental human rights, both within Canada and abroad.”

 According to the promises by the Government of Canada and international norms, by every possible means, I and other Canadian victims have asked some parliament members in charge and The House of Commons of Canada to help stop these atrocious acts of torture through a public inquiry. However, not only did they refuse my request and our tabled petition regardless of facts (the evidence we provided and previous torture cases), but their acts of torture have become more serious. The reason why they commit such crimes without considering any consequences and without restraint is that they believe that no one in the world can do something about them.

Committee Against Torture Agenda: the use of Non Lethal Weapons in Canada and charges against torturers will be heard at UN
http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/cat/cats48.htm

We must understand what kinds of crimes they commit when using Non Lethal Weapons ( Mind Control Weapons) to torture civilians according to the international laws and tools.

1.The Law of War by NATO

Science & Technology Committee of NATO regarding the use of non lethal weapons against civilians

Discussions on the use of "non-lethal" weapons in situations involving riot-control, hostage-rescue, peacekeeping and peace-enforcement operations, as well as in traditional warfare situations, have so far focused mainly on the technology and engagement doctrine of these new weapons - see the Assembly's report "Non-Lethal Weapons" by Lord Lyell, General Rapporteur [AP 238 STC (97) 8]. The ICRC experts have studied both the effects of "non-lethal" weapons on health and how they would be used in the light of international humanitarian laws. According to their conclusions, presented by Dr. Robin Coupland, all references to "lethal" or "non-lethal" oversimplify the effects of weapons and are therefore misleading. The so-called "non-lethal" weapons (such as infrasound, electromagnetic waves or sticky foams) can indeed have severe effects on health depending on the circumstances in which they are deployed or on their possible combination with existing conventional weapons. According to ICRC, the military use of "non-lethal" weapons against civilians could undermine the existing norms of international law pertaining to armed conflict as well as the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention and the 1925 Geneva Protocol. The organization recommended that current efforts to integrate "non-lethal" weapons into operations of armed forces should address more properly the legal, health and tactical implications of doing so.

2. The International Humanitarian Law by ICRC

In the on-going debate about emerging technologies which are to be used as so-called "non-lethal weapons" it has proven not only useful but necessary to address questions related to the rules pertinent to international humanitarian law, also called the law of war. A number of questions in this field have been discussed over the last years but the correct understanding and implementation of these rules with regard to "non-lethal weapons" has shown many times to be more complex than expected. The law of war contains obligations and in this sense it goes much further than just addressing ethical, moral or even public opinion issues.

Our paper would address the legal obligations which are contained in the law of war and which are pertinent to "non-lethal weapons", in particular when they are developed for use in times of armed conflicts, including military operations other than war or military operations in urban terrain. The basic principles of the law of war and existing treaties which restrict or prohibits some "non-lethal weapons" will also be mentioned. In the law of war there is also an obligation to carry out legal reviews in a multidisciplinary approach which is very much relevant to emerging technologies since often their wounding effect is not known.

Finally it is also the intent to present findings about the wounding mechanisms and the effects on humans of currently used weapons in most of the conflicts. This would help putting the term "non-lethal" in a more realistic perspective, in particular compared to other weapons, so-called conventional "lethal" weapons.

3. Torture by Amnesty International and UN

Amnesty International continues to be concerned by the use of less-than-lethal weapons, particularly Conducted Energy Devices (CEDs) such as TASERS. Some of these weapons pose a potential risk of resulting in torture or ill-treatment when used. UN states: Torture is a crime under international law. According to all relevant instruments, it is absolutely prohibited and cannot be justified under any circumstances

4. Crimes Against Humanity by ICC

“Torture is a crime against humanity”From: American Nongovernmental Organization Coalition for the International Criminal Court

In certain cases, systematic torture of a particular group will allow the criminal defense attorney to use additional international mechanisms, such as the International Criminal Court (ICC). Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in December of 1948, includes "acting with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group [by] causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group" as part of its definition of genocide. ^[4]

The Rome Statute of the ICC incorporates this definition of genocide as well as a definition of crimes against humanity, which includes torture. As soon as a State becomes a party to the Statute, it accepts the ICC's jurisdiction with respect to those crimes, and a State can recommend individual nationals suspected of those crimes to the Court. The ICC will then have complete jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute unless the person recommended has already been tried or is in the process of going to trial in the State already.

We are concerned here with reinforcing in the strongest possible terms:

i) The need for such abuses to human rights and the threats to democracy to be called to consciousness, and without further delay.

ii) To analyse the reasons why people might defend themselves from becoming conscious of the existence of such threats.

iii) To address the urgent need for intelligence, imagination, and information - not to mention compassion - in dealing with the victims of persecution from this technology, and

iv) To alert a sleeping society, to the imminent threats to their freedom from the threat from fascist and covert operations who have in all probability gained control of potentially lethal weaponry of the type we are describing.

It is necessary to emphasise that at present there is not even the means for victims to gain medical attention for the effects of radiation from this targeting. Denied the respect of credulity of being used as human guinea pigs, driven to suicide by the breakdown of their lives, they are treated as insane – at best regarded as ‘sad cases’. Since the presence of a permanent ‘other’ in one’s mind and body is by definition an act of the most intolerable cruelty, people who are forced to bear it but who refuse to be broken by it, have no other option than to turn themselves into activists, their lives consumed by the battle against such atrocities, their energies directed to alerting and informing the public of things they don’t want to hear or understand about evil forces at work in their society.
It is necessary, at this point, to briefly outline a few – one might say the precious few – attempts by public servants to verify the existence and dangers inherent in this field:

• In January 1998, an annual public meeting of the French      National Bioethics Committee was held in Paris. Its chairman, Jean-Pierre      Changeux, a neuroscientist at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, told the      meeting that “advances in cerebral imaging make the scope for invasion of      privacy immense. Although the equipment needed is still highly      specialized, it will become commonplace and capable of being used at a      distance. That will open the way for abuses such as invasion of personal      liberty, control of behaviour and brainwashing. These are far from being      science-fiction concerns…and constitute “a serious risk to society.”      (“Nature.” Vol 391, 1998.
• In January 1999, the European Parliament passed a      resolution where it calls “ for an international convention introducing a      global ban on all development and deployment of weapons which might enable      any form of manipulation of human beings. It is our conviction that this      ban can not be implemented without the global pressure of the informed      general public on the governments. Our major objective is to get across to      the general public the real threat which these weapons represent for      human rights and democracy and to apply pressure on the governments and      parliaments around the world to enact legislature which would prohibit the      use of these devices to both government and private organisations as well      as individuals.” (Plenary sessions/Europarliament, 1999)
• In October 2001, Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich      introduced a bill to the House of Representatives which, it was hoped      would be extremely important in the fight to expose and stop      psycho-electronic mind control experimentation on involuntary,      non-consensual citizens. The Bill was referred to the Committee on      Science, and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services and      International Relations. In the original bill a ban was sought on ‘exotic      weapons’ including electronic, psychotronic or information weapons,      chemtrails, particle beams, plasmas, electromagnetic radiation, extremely      low frequency (ELF) or ultra low frequency (ULF) energy radiation, or mind      control technologies. Despite the inclusion of a prohibition of the basing      of weapons in space, and the use of weapons to destroy objects or damage      objects in space, there is no mention in the revised bill of any of the      aforementioned mind-invasive weaponry, nor of the use of satellite or      radar or other energy based technology for deploying or developing      technology designed for deployment against the minds of human beings.      (Space Preservation Act, 2002)

According to the CAT, the State should ensure that its “competent authorities proceed to a prompt and impartial investigation” of any torture allegations.^[6] Similarly, the Istanbul Protocol asserts that the State should appoint a primary investigative authority (separately from providing access to legal services) to serve as the main liaison between the authorities and the alleged torture victim. This investigative authority must be separate from alleged torturers or any agency that employs them. ^[7]In doing so, the State should be sensitive to the victim's culture, language and gender. The investigator should attempt to obtain a detailed statement from the victim, color photographs of the injuries, as well as a thorough medical examination from an independent, qualified expert to produce a comprehensive evaluation of the alleged torture victim. The State should also provide the following information to the alleged torture victim during the investigation:

1. updates on the progress of the investigation; 2. information on all key hearings in the investigation and prosecution of the case; 3. updates on the suspected perpetrator (whether he/she has been identified, arrested etc.); 4. contact information for advocacy and treatment groups that might assist the victim; 5. the right to refuse questioning, to stop the investigation, or to take a break; 6. protection, not only for the victim, but also for the victim's family; 7. psychological counselors and other medical professionals trained in treating torture victims. When using any kind of formal, standardized equipment to conduct medical tests on suspected victims of torture, however doctors must be sensitive to the trauma. In fact, these instruments should only be used when absolutely necessary, such as when there is a legal case against the perpetrator and proof of torture is needed. ^[8]

GENEVA – UN human rights chief Navi Pillay on Friday warned torturers that they could not escape justice even if they might benefit from short term impunity.
"Torturers, and their superiors, need to hear the following message loud and clear: however powerful you are today, there is a strong chance that sooner or later you will be held to account for your inhumanity," Pillay said.
"Torture is an extremely serious crime, and in certain circumstances can amount to a war crime, a crime against humanity or genocide," she added in a statement to mark Saturday's International Day for the Victims of Torture.
The High Commissioner for Human Rights urged governments, the United Nations and campaign groups "to ensure that this message is backed by firm action."
"No one suspected of committing torture can benefit from an amnesty. That is a basic principle of international justice and a vital one," Pillay added.

Non-lethal weapons under international human rights and humanitarian law

Putin’s statement spark a new arms race, that is, non lethal weapons, mind control weapons, psychotronic weapons ;and “more dangerous than nuclear and atomic weapons.” They have been reviewed as mass destrction since 2002.

According to sources, Putin said ‘such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons, but will be more acceptable in terms of political and military ideology.’

Plans to introduce super weapons were announced last week by Russian Defence Minister Anatoly Serdyukov, The Daily Mail reports.
“The development of weaponry based on new physics principles, direct-energy weapons, geophysical weapons, wave-energy weapons, genetic weapons, psychotronic weapons, and so on, is part of the state arms procurement programme for 2011-2020,” the paper quoted Serdyukov, as saying.

Boris Ratnikov , former general of Russia, stated in 2007 that in less than ten years psychotronic weapons will grow more dangerous than nuclear and atomic weapons.
