Περίπτωση BAE στους Λόρδους

Πέμπτη, 14η Αυγούστου 2008

CAAT ειδήσεις | Οι πέντε ανώτεροι δικαστές είναι τεχνικά επιτροπή των Λόρδων έτσι η ακρόαση πραγματοποιήθηκε σε ένα δωμάτιο Λόρδων» Επιτροπή, που εξουσιάστηκε με μια τεράστια ζωγραφική του ενταφιασμού του βασιλιά Harold. Μόνο οι κορυφές των προϊσταμένων των δικαστών (χωρίς περούκες) ήταν ορατές από τις περισσότερες από τις δημόσιες έδρες δεδομένου ότι οι τράπεζες των εγγράφων περίπτωσης διαμόρφωσαν έναν τοίχο πέρα από το δωμάτιο. Μεταξύ των δικαστών και του υπολοίπου μας καθισμένα ένδεκα οι δικηγόροι - CAAT και το σπίτι γωνιών είχαν τέσσερα (ο Δαβίδ Pannick QC, Philippe Sands QC, Dinah αυξήθηκε QC και Ben Jaffey) και η κυβέρνηση πέντε, ενώ `ενδιέφερε το συμβαλλόμενο μέρος» BAE, και η δικαιοσύνη παρεμβαινόντων `», τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα και οργάνωση μεταρρύθμισης νόμου, είχε το ένα ανά τεμάχιο. Όλοι αυτοί οι δικηγόροι υποστηρίχτηκαν από τις ομάδες των δικηγόρων. Ακόμα κι αν αρχές των Λόρδων οι» είχαν προσθέσει έναν πρόσθετο πάγκο, αυτή η ακολουθία άφησε λίγο χώρο στο δωμάτιο.

Εμείς όλοι που γεμίζονται μέσα - CAAT και γωνιών άνθρωποι σπιτιών Rob Evans φυλάκων `s, που είχε κάνει τόσο μεγάλο μέρος για να εκθέσει τους ισχυρισμούς δωροδοκίας BAE, ήταν εκεί μαζί με τους δημοσιογράφους από άλλα έγγραφα, το BBC και τα ειδικά νομικά περιοδικά οι αντιπρόσωποι από τον Οργανισμό Οικονομικής Συνεργασίας και Ανάπτυξης, που είχε σχέση ότι η Συνθήκη αντι-δωροδοκίας του 1997 της θα κατασταθεί χωρίς νόημα εάν η κυβέρνηση έχει την άδεια για να σταματήσει τις έρευνες δωροδοκίας όπως σε αυτήν την περίπτωση, πήραν τις άφθονες σημειώσεις Peter Gardiner, ο προηγούμενος ταξιδιωτικός πράκτορας BAE που έδωσε τα στοιχεία στη SFO κοίταξε επάνω και πολλοί άλλοι ήταν παρόντες.

Τα επιχειρήματα

Ο δικηγόρος κυβερνητικού μολύβδου, QC μήλου Sumption, πήγε πρώτα. Υποστήριξε ότι ο διευθυντής της SFO, δεδομένου ότι ένας ανεξάρτητος κατήγορος, είχε μια ευρεία διακριτικότητα ως προς ποιες περιπτώσεις ερεύνησε ή εδίωξε ποινικώς, έπρεπε ακριβώς να ενεργήσει `εύλογα» στη λήψη των αποφάσεών του. Παρήγαγε επίσης μια δήλωση μάρτυρα από το ξένο γραφείο σε μία προσπάθεια να δειχτεί ότι, σε αντίθεση με αυτό που ο Λόρδος Justice Moses είχε πει στο ανώτατο δικαστήριο, η προσοχή των σαουδαραβικών ανώτερων υπαλλήλων είχε εφιστηθεί στο χωρισμό των δυνάμεων μεταξύ της κυβέρνησης και των νομικών αρχών στο UK.

David Pannick challenged this. He said the rule of law had to prevail and that this demanded that the SFO did not give into threats by Saudi Arabia to withdraw cooperation on anti-terrorism until all other options had been exhausted and, even then, only if it was strictly necessary. The Government, he said, did not meet this test, as all bar one of the approaches to Saudi Arabia listed in the Foreign Office statement had been made before the threats were issued and all were fairly casual mentions in the course of other meetings. Additionally, the UK did not seem to have reminded Saudi Arabia of its anti-terrorism commitments.

With regards to the OECD Convention, Dinah Rose argued that this was a relevant consideration because the SFO Director said his decision was made in accordance with it – the question was whether ‘national security’ was an implied exemption or not and she said not – whilst the Government said it was up to the OECD to decide on this issue.

No decision as yet

There was very little intervention by the Judges as the barristers made their submissions. This, we were told, is unusual. Each of five Judges now considers the submissions, looks up the precedents and writes his or her own speech – the verdict is the majority view. The result will be announced, most likely in October, when the Judges’ committee reports to the full House of Lords. Justice?

Campaign update

The House of Lords has overturned the High Court’s ruling that the Government broke the law by stopping the corruption investigation into BAE Systems’ Saudi arms deals. The case had been brought by CAAT and The Corner House with widespread support.

The Serious Fraud Office’s appeal was heard by the House of Lords on the 7th and 8th of July and judgment was given on 30th July.

One of the judges, Baroness Hale, said that she would have liked to have been able to say that it was wrong to stop the investigation as it was “extremely distasteful that an independent public official should feel himself obliged to give way to threats of any sort.” However, she had to agree with her colleagues that the decision taken by the SFO Director was lawful.

The judgment means that those with powerful friends prepared to make threats can effectively evade justice, particularly if the threats are couched in terms of national security. The ruling also confirms that the UK government has driven a coach and horses through a key international anti-bribery convention to protect its friends in BAE.

CAAT and The Corner House are not dejected by the result as it has brought the whole issue into the public realm and clarified the law.
