Sub. “Damages For Non-Enforcement of Judgments of UAE Courts &
Outright Fraud by the UAE Administration”

His Highness,

This ‘Open Letter’ is a reminder of the previous letter to H.E. Dr. Ahmed Al Banna, UAE Ambassador to India, Dated 28th Feb, 2018. Full text.

The Petitioner is forwarding herewith a copy of his latest representation to the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, dated 09th Feb-2018 for redressal of sufferings and deprivation of all his Rights and assets consequent on his fraudulent and inhuman deportation from the UAE in the year 1996 over-riding the fact that 4 successive Judgments in his favour from Abu Dhabi Courts, finding the UAE officials guilty of the most heinous crimes against him.

The petitioner was closely associated with the Private Departments of (Late) H,H.Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan, from 1982 onwards, the then Emir of Abu Dhabi and also the President of United Arab Emirates, H.H. Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who succeeded Sheikh Zayed as ruler and many others in the ruling family. He had registrations with all the major Oil & Gas Companies on behalf of his firms General Contracting & Trading Est., with all mandatory Governmental Licences, for bidding/tendering/projects/participations etc., and contributed much to the developments of Abu Dhabi Emirate. The petitioner was one of the first India-born real estate investors in Abu Dhabi, UAE, which is a multi-trillion US dollar industry today.

This is a case of personal and racially aggravated attack with malicious motives by ‘higher officials of Abu Dhabi’, UAE, in collaboration with Police, to stop an ‘execution of a Decree’ awarded by the Civil Court on an Apartment Tower  contract  in 1995,  which involves extortion, trespassing, inhuman torture, illegal detention,  criminal conspiracy and fraud against an Indian investor.

[The following part was a significant turning point in this case, it also exposes the deplorable state of affairs in the Administration of Abu Dhabi Police, during the period of the petitioner’s case; in the year 1995].

“In the instant case, the Abu Dhabi policemen did their atrocious acts towards the petitioner in a terrible manner and were caught red-handed by the Petitioner while committing burglary at his office. Thereby they already lost their face.

The policemen who came responding to the alert of the Petitioner, unjustifiably protected the trespassers who were the  law breakers and jointly attacked the petitioner so horribly, worse than death, at the instance of the local Emirati  (the friend of ‘Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan’) for getting illegal gains and to circumvent the Court’s order in force against him. The Petitioner and his younger brother were literally kidnapped from their office by the policemen and were held as a shield against their aggravated crimes.

The Criminal Court found the offenders (A group of policemen and the local Emirati) were guilty and, therefore, passed orders to investigate the crime committed by them. Then followed several other Court Judgments and orders in absolute in favour of the petitioner including the highest Court of Abu Dhabi, against the culprits”.

An excerpt from the Apex Court Judgment reads as follows:-

“Verily the Islamic Law and the entire Positive Laws have honoured Man and protected his freedom, his honour, his property and his soul. Hence, if a man was killed, while protecting these, he is considered to be a martyr. And limitation of his freedom without any rights is an unforgiving crime and the same is mentioned in the provisions of articles 2 and 3 of the Penal Procedures Code. And it is proved in this case that the policeman along with the plaintiff went to arrest the accused and to limitate his freedom….” (Apex Court Judgment, 188/1996 dated 19/5/1996 Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates).

The enforcement of a Judgment is regarded as an integral part of the fundamental Human Right to a fair trial in a reasonable time. That has been violated. Worst still, the Judgment-debtor, the UAE ruler, bypassed all the laws to commit the offense of defrauding the Judgment Creditor in the most cruel and diabolical manner, to deny him the fruits of the decrees obtained by him, forced him to leave behind his well established three business concerns, real estate properties and other investments, images and reputation in the UAE, hard earned by his blood and sweat and valuable expertise in profession.

After arriving India in 1996, the petitioner had submitted very many representations to your Excellency, as a respondent in the case, detailing his inordinate sufferings due to the patent violations of Human Rights perpetrated against him by your country. Two Judicial Orders were also passed by the High Court of Delhi to you (after approaching the Supreme Court) to settle the case.  A period of twenty two years is passed by till date, but there was no response/acknowledgement was received to any of them.

The Petitioner is yet to receive any relief from the country you are privileged to represent in India.  In recent times, the scenario  in legal area has changed entirely.  That a citizen of any country can seek relief from another country (including UAE) has been established, and also acquiesced in by UAE.

The issue of summons to the UAE Ambassador in America, in a Civil Suit instituted in 2009 in a U.S. District Court against UAE (against the top three members of the UAE’s ruling family, who were accused of roles in the abduction and torture) has led to this important development.  Though the charges and jurisdiction of American Court were questioned initially by UAE, it was conceded as evidenced by settlement reached in between the U.S. citizen and UAE.  It is, therefore, open to Indian Courts or authorities to give relief to a person in India, to sue your Government as well in the light of the legal development.

In the present case, UAE Government has additionally made investments in various parts of India.  Your Government is also engaging in trading and commercial activities worth billions of US dollars.  UAE owns properties in the State of Kerala as well.

Before instituting a Suit against you and your country in the light of subsequent development, the Petitioner felt, and he was advised by the Legal Cell of the Indian Society of Authors (with a former Judge of Kerala High Court as Chairman), and members like Judges of the Mumbai and Kerala High Courts and other Government Lawyers that,  it would be desirable to appraise you about his intention to file a Suit in Kerala for securing relief overdue.

The Petitioner would certainly like to avoid a legal battle, wasteful and long drawn out. This letter is to request you humbly, to compensate him for the damages he has sustained under the various counts including violation and deprivation of the Human Rights, and torture and for the deprivation of all his businesses, assets and earnings situated in UAE at the time of his illegal deportation.  The compensation due to him, would be very substantial, aggregating to very many millions of US Dollars. The Petitioner would be only happy in the circumstances, if you could settle his claim, or agree for a settlement by known legal methods including Arbitration as regards quantum of compensation;  Arbitration by a mutually agreed authority.  He would prefer the direct settlement between the parties.

The UAE is liable to pay the petitioner for all the natural and direct consequences of its wrongful act. Apart from actual loss and exemplary or punitive damages, he is entitled to get compensatory damages for pecuniary and non-pecuniary losses, aggravated damages for pain and sufferings, violation of his dignity, respect and rights,  as detailed in the representation filed before the Government of India, towards the price of his business assets, real estate investments left behind in the UAE when he was illegally deported; and the business profits and gains and its market value he would have earned, as well as other expenses for all these years that followed.

There was not merely criminal failure on the part of the authorities in the implementation of a set of Judgements of the Court of Law (in the case relating to aggravated assault, burglary etc.) The authorities are also liable to compensate the petitioner for his intangible injuries as damages suffered from physical and psychological pain as result of the unjust and illegal actions of the authorities, continued up to the deportation and resultant deprivation when he landed in his home land, bereft of any assets whatever.

The (irremediable) damages inflicted on Petitioner by UAE authorities and its far-reaching repercussions:-

Mental distress (by aggravated assault, abduction, detention, extortion, and inhuman torture);

Anguish (resulting from the impact of torture, and deprivation of businesses, investments, company staffs and employees and mental peace of the members of his family and relatives);

Grief (about the state of affairs of himself and the members of his family);

Anxiety (about his own health, ailments, and worries about his staffs, employees and his family) He had to suffer pancreas disorders, heart ailments, compelling him to be an inpatient in hospitals, and continuing to suffer such ailments requiring constant and massive medication;

Vexation (including that caused by the feelings of agony to himself and the members of his family);

Indignation (against the inhumanities of the administration);

Outrage (about the total lack of Rule of Law, and the feeling that even the judiciary is treated with contempt);

Wounded Pride (in the background of the loss of high esteem and dignity he enjoyed in UAE and his homeland India);

Loss of Faith (regarding the petitioner in friends and colleagues and the like. Such persons included businessmen attached to very prestigious investing establishments).

The petitioner  is entitled to compensation for this unique case of  repeated defrauding of the ‘Judgement Creditor’, torturing him to near death, and violating ‘Four Judgements of the UAE Courts’ in his favour and the like. Having regard to the serious nature of the loss and injuries suffered and continuing to be suffered, he is also entitled to an interim relief, on urgent basis, fixed at 120 million US Dollars [INR.782 crore].

The Petitioner seeks an expeditious remedy, in view of the sufferings undergone by him for a long duration of nearly twenty-two years.  As a founder member of ‘INSA’, (Indian Society of Authors, Kerala Chapter), the Petitioner have already requested ‘INSA’ to offer him assistance through their Legal Cell, and he expect that, the organization and its Legal Cell (with very many former Judges of the High Courts and Subordinate Courts and Senior Lawyers) to help him in the just and equitable cause.

The Petitioner expects a  response and reply before 14th May, 2018.  If there is no response, he will be constrained to resort to legal proceedings, holding you and your country responsible for all the costs and consequences thereof.

Yours faithfully,

Panikkaveettil K. Jabir, [Petitioner],

The Wanton Deployment of Secret Mercenary Armies

The Wanton Deployment of Secret Mercenary Armies
Jabir P  July 10, 2014  Reparation Law News Service,  New Delhi

In Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S.-led private security contractors have been linked to anti coalition activities, murder, bribery, and kidnapping. This pattern has now been actively introduced into already volatile regions, like East Ukraine and the Middle Eastern nations.

Russia is calling on the United States to take steps to curb involvement of foreign mercenaries in the ongoing military operation in Ukraine. Engaging mercenaries is totally in violation of the rules and regulations contained in the UN Convention of the Recruitment, Use, Financing and Training of Mercenaries.

U.S. mercenaries, formerly known as Blackwater, are reportedly taking part in Ukraine’s military operations against the people fighting for their rights in south-eastern regions of Ukraine.

The U.S. State Department officials say the allegations that there are ‘U.S mercenaries’ operating in Ukraine are false.”

Blackwater is a private military contracting firm founded by former Navy SEAL Erik Prince in 1997. Blackwater mercenaries were made infamous during the invasion of Iraq for their frequent and unprovoked killings of dozens of innocent civilians. It includes the massacre of 17 civilians in Iraq by Blackwater employees, the FBI found. “I put myself and my company at the C.I.A.’s disposal for some very risky missions” says Erik Prince, the former CEO of Blackwater Worldwide.

Late last year, Prince published a book, Civilian Warriors. ‘The Inside Story of Blackwater and the Unsung Heroes of the War on Terror’. Mr. Prince writes that his company has been demonized around the world, because of the secrecy requirements of Blackwater’s contracts with the Pentagon, the State Department, and the CIA, Prince was unable to speak out; he is bound under the terms of his non-disclosure agreement with the U.S. agencies’.

Erik Prince sold his Corporation’s US-based 7,000-acre training facility in Moyock, North Carolina in 2010 to a group of investors close to his family, which is now known as ‘Academi’. Prince retained all rights to the Blackwater name as well as the control of numerous companies that once operated under the umbrella of Blackwater.

Erik Prince is now resettled in Abu Dhabi, the capital of United Arab Emirates with his so-called mercenary army grouped under Reflex Responses, known as R2, alongside the UAE Armed Force, Zayed Military City of Abu Dhabi.

Last year, the Colombia’s defense ministry was alarmed about an exodus of top soldiers to the UAE to join a highly paid American-led mercenary force organized by Erik Prince, for his security company Blackwater (rebranded “Xe”). Prince’s mercenary forces in the UAE, is made up largely of Colombian soldiers, who have acquired this capability and skill through training they have received from the Israeli, US and British experts.

Erik Prince was hired by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, to deliver an 800-strong first test battalion for the UAE. The $529m initial deal between Mr Prince and the Crown Prince is slated to run through May 2015. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is the immediate ruler of the United Arab Emirates.

While the actual assignment given to Mr. Prince, the founder of a controversial security company Blackwater was to silence the pro-democratic activists inside and outside the country, the UAE took a stand that they were brought only to impart training for a Special Security Group.

UAE is a federation of seven Emirates situated on the Arabian Peninsula, is attributed to authoritarian regime and most powerful among them being Emirate of Abu Dhabi, holding 9% of the world’s oil reserves and 5% of the world’s gas reserves. Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The late Sheikh Zayed, installed in August 1966 as head of the oil-rich Abu Dhabi, through a British-led coup against his brother, Sheikh Shakhbut (Ruled:1928-66). Zayed was in power until his death in Nov. 2, 2004. Sheikh Khalifa, the eldest son of Sheikh Zayed, succeeded him to the leadership of Abu Dhabi and UAE.

The ruling regime of UAE is notorious for its Human Rights records. It restricts people’s freedom and controls them by arbitrary arrests, torture, enforced disappearances and killings. The regime is continued to suppress the press by imposing tough laws in the Emirates, set up massive funds, men and machinery to crush down all democratic aspirations across the Arab world. This is done out of their fear that the struggles for democracy may, in turn, take over their regime as well. Hundreds of innocents are being killed in the process in neighbouring countries such as Bahrain and Egypt.

According to ‘Global Research Centre’ the force is aimed at suppressing the people’s struggles in the Gulf countries, with interventions similar to those in Bahrain. It was reported that, once the efficiency of the battalion has been tested, Abu Dhabi will fund worth billions of dollars for a whole brigade of several thousand mercenaries. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed is a trusted Pentagon associate. He also supports military intervention directed against Iran. The crown prince and his friend Erick Prince, however, are the executors of the project, which was decided in Washington. Its purpose was revealed in documents quoted by the New York Times.

Mercenaries are mostly former military personnel or ex-policemen who kill people just for money. By taking recourse to the formation of a brutal private mercenary army, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi has demonstrated his intention to resist civil uprisings with violent repression. Blackwater has been involved since the first days of the occupation in Iraq and had 30 plus casualties including in a high-profile incident in Fallujah. By organizing a private hard-core mercenary army to crush their own people, UAE has violated all norms of Human Rights and undermined the international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions.

The 1989 U.N. Convention represents an endeavour by the international community to outlaw mercenarism in all its manifestations and consists of 21 articles. According to Article 5 of the Convention, States Parties shall not recruit, use, finance or train mercenaries for the purpose of opposing the legitimate exercise of the inalienable right of peoples to self-determination, as recognized by international law, and shall take, in conformity with international law, the appropriate measures to prevent the recruitment, use, financing or training of mercenaries for that purpose. (Ref.2)

Threats posed by Mercenaries

“Mercenaries pose a threat not only to security, but also to human rights and potentially to the right of peoples to self-determination,” said Faiza Patel, who chaired the study. The study said mercenaries were used in the past to fight in wars between countries but recently the Governments had used mercenaries against their own populations. It said private military and security companies receive between $20 billion and $100 billion per year. (Ref.3)

Responding to complaints and questionnaire sent by Ms. Faiza Patel, Chair-Rapporteur of the U.N. Working Group, who has been studying the issues of private military and security companies, in regards with the laws regulating the activities of recruits or engaging mercenaries in the country, the UAE replied in a dishonest and fraudulent manner that no mercenary group is working in the UAE as a means of violating human rights. The foreign security companies operating in the UAE are under the supervision of the UAE Ministry of Interior, further that their scope of work is limited to “preventive security protection’. License granted to these security companies do not grant them powers of judicial control and their personnel are prohibited from acquiring or carrying any fire arms in accordance to Article 10, 12 and 16 of Federal Decree 37 of year 2006 concerning private companies and their executive regulations”. (Ref.4)

“Blackwater is the modern version of mercenaries that have been used by corrupt governments and regimes throughout history,” American investigative journalist Alex Jones said during an interview with Press TV’s US Desk. According to Jones, Blackwater, which represents the “21st century death squad,” carries out any mission it is paid to do.

The former employees of Blackwater said that in recruiting the Colombians and others from halfway around the world, subordinates were following his strict rule: hire no Muslims. Muslim soldiers, Mr. Prince warned, could not be counted on to kill fellow Muslims. For him, there is no legal accountability and no internationally accepted criteria as they will operate outside any known jurisdictions and most probably in stealth. Prince’s latest venture in the UAE has the hallmarks of government-sponsored military anarchy.

The executed contract between the Blackwater, American-led mercenaries and the UAE authority is available below for reference. “Copy of Mercenary Contract between the GHQ Armed Forces of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Blackwater, now called Xe Services [Reflex Responses Management Consultancy or R2 ] of Abu Dhabi for June 2010 to May 2015” (The contract is renewable in 2015) (Ref.5)

As against these crude facts and verifiable truth, the denial of the UAE about presence of any mercenary group reflects and reinforces its Human Rights Violations, cruelties and the tendency of cheating its own people, renowned experts, academic institutions and the UN commissions as a whole. This is an alarming and disgraceful situation to every one!

The Luanda Draft Convention again stressed the responsibility of individual states to prevent their nationals from taking part in mercenary activities, as well as those individual persons defined as mercenaries. State responsibility, as such, is conveyed in Article 319 that makes government officials who undertake to employ, aid, or recruit mercenaries liable for criminal prosecution. Thus, failure by a State to carry out the prosecution of officials who had undertaken such activities would, argues Taulbee, ‘create international responsibility on the part of the offending State’. (Ref.6)

Appendage

“Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword’ is an old saying. It means those who take the sword, shall perish by the sword. Read below what others say about:
“Prince could one day turn on his employers, shoot up their palaces, and stand astride their glittering towers as lord of all he surveys. And a South African mercenary with a pencil moustache could run the Emirati justice ministry, conjuring up memories of a regime we assumed was long dead. Stranger things have happened. One hopes, for the al-Nayhan’s sake, they have a good contract in place, and a new New Model Army to counter their New Model Army. Erik Prince might turn out to be their most dangerous high-end acquisition”. DM
