A prominent member of Switzerland's largest political party has called upon federal authorities to arrest Henry Kissinger as a war criminal if he attends the 2011 Bilderberg conference of global power brokers which is set to begin on Thursday at the Hotel Suvretta House in St. Moritz.
Swiss People's Party representative Dominique Baettig wrote a letter to the General Prosecutor of the Swiss Federation in which he asked, "In the name of Cantonal Sovereignty and independence, but especially of the Justice's independence from executive power -- may it be Federal or Cantonal -- I ask you to check abroad for Arrest Warrants delivered by various Courts, Judges and also for all valid criminal complaints against the persons who were, amongst others, cited as mere examples in my (enclosed) letters to Mrs. Simonetta Sommaruga, Federal Counselor and Mrs. Barbara Janom Steiner, Cantonal Counselor and of course, to arrest them before diligent extraditions."
Baettig is no fringe figure, he's the equivalent of a US Congressman, representing the Canton of Jura on the National Council of Switzerland. His party, the Swiss People's Party, is the largest party in the Federal Assembly, with 58 members of the National Council and 6 of the Council of States.
Baettig's letter also calls for the apprehension of George W. Bush and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but neither are likely to be attending the conference. However, Kissinger is a regular Bilderberg attendee and is almost certain to be present in St. Moritz.
Kissinger, National Security Advisor and later Secretary of State for President Nixon and President Ford, has been accused of being complicit in a number of war crimes in Indochina, Bangladesh, Chile, Cyprus and East Timor. Numerous activists have attempted to arrest him over the years under the Geneva Conventions Act.
