	Russell Tribunal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tribunal was constituted in November, 1966 and conducted over two sessions in 1967 in Stockholm, Sweden and Copenhagen, Denmark.
		Nearly four decades later, the Russell Tribunal model was followed by the World Tribunal on Iraq, which was held to make a similar analysis of the Project for the New American Century, the 2003 Invasion of Iraq and subsequent occupation of Iraq, and the links between these.
		Staughton Lynd, libertarian radical and chairman of the 1965 “March on Washington”, was asked by Russell to participate in the tribunal and rejected the invitation.

		In April 2004, the “Brussells Tribunal” brought together a group of “academics, intellectuals and artists in the tradition of the [1967] Russell Tribunal” to highlight war crimes in the current war in Iraq.
		Russell, a British philosopher and activist, was responsible for the first international People's Tribunal, which was convened in Sweden and Denmark in 1967.
		The Tribunal, which was part of the NGO Forum of the Second World Conference on Human Rights (Vienna, 1993), reflected a particular moment in transnational women’s organizing that sought explicit recognition of "women’s rights as human rights" by the United Nations and the international human rights community.

		The Administrative Decisions Tribunal had found their conduct and the language they used during the arrest was racially discriminatory; they admitted it in a public notice ordered by the court.
		Their small advertisement left out the tribunal's finding that some officers had rammed Russell's head into the back of a police utility van and that throughout his arrest "he was subjected to abusive and foul language".
		Russell claimed that he was pinned to the road, face down, and officers trod on both of his hands at his side.

	RNW: Return of the people's tribunal
		The British philosopher Bertrand Russell initiated the first international people's tribunal more than 35 years ago to determine whether war crimes were being committed by the US and its allies during the Vietnam War.
		The goal of Russell's tribunal â“ which was held in 1967 in Sweden and Denmark - was to raise public awareness of the atrocities being committed in Vietnam.
		This raises another of the key criticisms of the tribunal; namely that it's organized by critics of the current US policy in Iraq and there is no real judge or jury to pass judgment.

	CITT - Appeals - Decisions - RECORD TOOLS INC.
		Russell testified that only one tool is used at a time and that the length of the wooden handle on the tool is important, as it provides necessary leverage to the person using it to counteract the downward pressure often exerted on the tool while the wood is in rotation.
		Russell also testified that different types of tools and different shapes of tools are required depending on the type of job to be done; for example, in spindle work, a variety of different tools are required to create the beads, coves and other shapes found on a spindle.
		Russell explained that these are tiny cutters attached to the lathe, while the tools used with wood-turning lathes are 99 percent hand-held, but leaned up against a tool rest.

		For this reason, the Proceedings of the Tribunal is a document of first importance; the spirit and convictions that underlie it must, as Russell hoped, become a part of the consciousness of all Americans.
		The Tribunal, or another like it, should turn to Czechoslovakia, to Greece, to a dozen other countries that are suffering in the grip of the imperialist powers or the local forces that they support and maintain.
		As Gabriel Kolko notes, in testimony to the Tribunal, the barbarism of Seyss-Inquart in opening the dikes in Holland was considered one of the most monstrous crimes of the Second World War, and was prominent among the charges that led to his death sentence at Nuremberg.

		The Fourth Russell Tribunal was one of the major conferences in this framework.
		The aim of the tribunal was to serve as a forum for testimony against ethnocidal oppression and for the free expression of the will to struggle against those powers that still wish to destroy the authentic character of the oldest cultures of the Americas.
		That the Tribunal's goal was achieved, is shown by the many references to it in newspaper articles and publications all over the world as well as in reports of United Nations meetings and other international conferences.

	The Trial of Henry Kissinger Christopher Hitchens:Reviewed by Stephen Berry
		Russell's original idea of a tribunal of disinterested judges was also thrown overboard.
		What the newspapers could see with perfect clarity when confronted by the Russell Tribunal is unaccountably lost when the war crimes trials at Nuremberg, Tokyo and The Hague are examined.
		The Tokyo tribunal however, found Hirota guilty because he was "derelict in his duty in not insisting before the Cabinet that immediate action be taken to put an end to the atrocities." (29) Hirota was held responsible and duly sentenced to death.

		The Nuremberg Tribunal, an ambiguous reality, was created from the highest legal principles no doubt but, at the same time, it created a precedent, the embryo of a tradition.
		he Russell Tribunal was born of this doubly contradictory conclusion: the judgement of Nuremberg had necessitated the existence of an institution to inquire into war crimes and, if necessary, to sit in judgement; today neither governments nor the masses are capable of forming one.

		The Indigenous Peoples represented at the conference recommended that a Tribunal be formed in order that cases may be presented and witnesses heard to inform the world of the nature and effect of those abuses.
		We believe that the charges brought before the Tribunal provide the most eloquent testimony that Nation-States have national policies of ethnocide and genocide of Indigenous Peoples and that such policies are unacceptable to the conscience of humanity.
		We, the Indigenous representatives at the Fourth International Russell Tribunal, 1980 resolve with respect to the following: 1.) GENOCIDE That the Tribunal denounce the physical extermination which is instrumental through the repression of Indigenous leaders, many of whom have been assassinated, tortured, persecuted, kidnapped and exiled.

	Verdict of the Russell Tribunal on Psychiatry
		As a result of the evidence it has heard in its first session in Berlin over the weekend of June 30/July 1, 2001, the Tribunal is convinced that the serious abuse of human rights in the name of psychiatry is widespread but largely unrecognized.
		It even justifies concepts such as the legal category of "mental patient" which permits a total deprivation of human and civil rights and actually can be used to exculpate anti social and criminal actions.
		Furthermore we were disappointed by the failure of arrangements made with the German Television and the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper.

		We owe a debt of gratitude to Bertrand Russell and to the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation for their initiative in setting up the Tribunal and for the work they carried out.
		We are grateful to the members of the Tribunal’s investigation committees, who risked their lives while gathering material; to the witnesses who voluntarily gave evidence, particularly as this may mean a ruined career.
		It would be appropriate, as well, to thank the small army of {374} British people who assisted the work of the Tribunal during times when it was regarded as an entirely subversive and discreditable enterprise by many good people who have since come to see it as an undertaking fully justified by events.

		ANSWER: The BRussells Tribunal was originally a hearing committee composed of academics, intellectuals and artists in the tradition of the Russell Tribunal, set up in 1967 to investigate war crimes committed during the Vietnam War.
		It was presided by Professor François Houtart, who participated in the Bertrand Russell War Crimes Tribunal on US Crimes in Vietnam in 1967, and who is one of the founding fathers of the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre.
		But on the other hand we have come to realize that neither the BRussells Tribunal nor the World Tribunal on Iraq, with its final session in Istanbul last June, are really known to the larger public.
