As we head into July 4th, celebrating the birthday of this country, it feels like America has never been more divided. So this week The Sunday Paper turned to The Dignity Index, an initiative started in 2022 which scores the dignity of our speech on a scale of ONE to EIGHT. Each scale point represents a particular mindset towards the other side, ranging from ONE—which sees no dignity at all in the other side—to EIGHT, which sees dignity in everyone. Two field officers from the Dignity Index, both holding very different perspectives and belief systems, help answer the question: Can America Unite in Dignity?

Forwarded message From: Shafiq Khan <shafiqifs@gmail.com> Date: Wed, May 1, 2024, 12:12 AM Subject: Suo moto cognisance of case against perpetrators and collaborators of genocide of Palestinians. To: <information@icj-cij.org> Finally truth will prevail but blood of 35000 innocent and unarmed civilians of Palestine including children and women is on the heads of Jeo Biden & Antonio Guterres as main collaborators of genocide of Palestinians, Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister of Israel, Army Generals of Israel as perpetrators of genocide of Palestinians. The cognisance of the case against these criminals deserves to be taken by International Criminal Court suo moto, because of inaction of Antonio Guterres from February 2024, in relaxation of rules keeping in view the holocaust in Palestine. There is a letter addressed to Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General, written by me in February 2024 to take defined measures to stop the genocide in Palestine but he has done nothing but watched as a mute spectator the cold blooded mass murder of Palestinians besides total destruction and devastation in Gaza. Consequently the case has to considered retrospectively with effect from February 2024. The letter is available on my profile as featured post on LinkedIn. However the copy of the letter sent to Antonio Guterres in February 2024 will be sent separately. Complainant Mohammad Shafiq Khan (IFS) M.Sc.(physics) M.Sc(forestry) Retired Director, Writer, Scientist and Philosopher. Copy of the complaint may be submitted to all Honourable judges of the International Criminal Court and the Prosecutor. Additional information regarding this most important case is that the defects in the constitution of UNO as identified in my complaint which was written to the Secretary General; out of two defects one defect namely the veto power to some of the member countries was also identified by Malaysia and submitted in respect of case of South Africa. Thus my complaint has the support of a member country of UNO also. Hence my complaint and submissions of Malaysia to the ICJ need to be tied up for hearing in both the courts namely ICJ and ICC. ICJ will hear the case for legal issues whereas ICC will hear the case for the war crimes and genocide. Justice demands that the case needs to be heard retrospectively because my complaint was made in the month of February 2024 and order passed with retrospective effect. My complaint be heard after taking the suo moto cognisance of the case and accordingly some good lawyer may be engaged for the purpose by the ICJ. It needs no further clarification that all the member countries have to be under the jurisdiction of ICC compulsorily for UNO to be functional and ensuring peace in the world. Copy of the revised complaint may now be submitted to all the Honourable judges of ICJ in and ICC including the prosecutor of ICC. Complainant Mohammad Shafiq Khan Srinagar, Kashmir, India.
