Subject: REPLY TO ICC's 08/08/18 RESPONSE TO: EXPOSING APARTHEID IN THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA’S STATE OF MISSISSIPPI
AUGUST 9, 2018
TO THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT
c/o Fadi El Abdallah
c/o OTP Information Desk
This is to confirm that the Utica International Embassy (“UIE”) is in receipt of your email dated
08/08/18. Please be advised that the UIE is aware of the International Criminal Court’s (“ICC”) limited
jurisdiction. Therefore, PLEASE BE ADVISED that any such legal issues that the UIE decide to bring
before the ICC WILL BE those that are within this Court’s limited jurisdiction. Some of the legal
matters that the UIE is preparing to bring before the ICC as well as before other INTERNATIONAL
Tribunals – i.e. for which their Sovereign Nations/Governments/Citizens have also come under attack
by the United States of America’s “DESPOTISM” Corporate Empire that is ILLEGALLY and/or
UNLAWFULLY in power – include the following; however, are not limited to this listing alone:
WAR CRIMES – which may include Nuremberg Violations, etc. Such crimes that the UIE decide to
bring before the ICC will be those we have researched to confirm it is within the jurisdiction of this
Court.
CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY – which will include Acts of Terrorism (i.e. based on research,
under the ICC this is covered under Crimes Against Humanity), Apartheid acts, etc.

3. CRIMES AGAINST PEACE – matters to be addressed with the applicable FOREIGN
Nations/Governments that (as the UIE Sovereign Citizens) are under attack by the SAME Enemies
and their Co-Conspirators, etc.
ACTS OF AGGRESSION – matters to address the United States of America’s and its
Illegal/UNLAWFUL “DESPOTISM” Government Empire that is controlled and run by Nazis and/or
WHITE Jews/Zionists/Supremacists seeking to ADVANCE the Agenda of what some have labeled
the “NEW WORLD ORDER” – i.e. WHITE SUPREMACIST Agendas to advance their Race,
Religions, etc. to be SUPERIOR over “ALL” other!
PLEASE BE ADVISED that the UIE is aware of the ICC’s limited jurisdiction and for any such matters
that may be brought before it, will be matters that falls within said Court’s jurisdiction.
SOME IMPORTANT FACTS OBTAINED FROM RESEARCH – as of 08/09/18 may be viewed at:
https://www.slideshare.net/VogelDenise/international-criminal-court-fact-sheet
(a) The United States is not a party - i.e. wherein the UIE looks forward to challenging this United
States DESPOT and questions of those in AGREEMENTS/CONTRACTS with it of its UNLAWFUL
Formation and HEADQUATERS in a NON-State and/or DISTRICT within the lands/territories that
have been labeled "WASHINGTON D.C."
https://www.slideshare.net/VogelDenise/district-of-columbia-organic-act-of-1871-wikipedia-031216
(b) An option on HOW cases can come before the ICC?
The Court's Prosecutor can initiate an investigation into a situation where one or more of the crimes has
been committed, based on information from ANY source, including the victim or the victim's family, but
only if the Court has jurisdiction over the crime and individual.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: The Prosecutor can be asked to investigate a situation where one or more of
the crimes have been committed, even if the crimes occurred in the territory of a state that HAS NOT
ratified the Rome Statute or was committed by the national of such a state.
(c) The DIFFERENCE between the ICC and the International Court of Justice and other
international criminal tribunals:
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is a CIVIL court that hears disputes between COUNTRIES.
The International CRIMINAL Court (ICC) is a court that prosecutes INDIVIDUALS!
The ICC is a PERMANENT court, and is GLOBAL in its reach!
(d) The United States' DESPOT's Position On The ICC:
Opposition out of FEAR that the ICC will be used politically against U.S. Nationals. The ICC only
investigate cases involving U.S. Nationals IF the U.S. FAILS to investigate and, if appropriate,
FAILS to PROSECUTE the INDIVIDUALS responsible! - - - - In other words, providing OTHER
OPTIONS when the United States of America FAILS TO ACT on the CRIMES Reported, etc.

4. (e) WHY is the ICC important?
It is suppose to ensure that those who commit serious human rights violations ARE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE! There are claims that, "Justice helps promote lasting peace, enables victims to
REBUILD their LIVES and sends a STRONG MESSAGE that perpetrators of serious
INTERNATIONAL crimes WILL NOT go UNpunished!"
The Utica International Embassy is CONFIDENT that matters brought before the International
Criminal Court as well as OTHER International Tribunals will be SUBSTANTIATED by evidence to
SUPPORT the FAILURE and INCOMPETENCE of the United States of America to INVESTIGATE and
PROSECUTE crimes timely, properly and adequately submitted. Moreover, EVIDENCE to support
Government and/or DESPOT Individuals’ KNOWLEDGE of crimes reported and FAILURE to act! Not
only that, the U.S. JUDICIAL System being NOTIFIED and FAILURE to act upon information brought
to Judges/Justices attention! For instance, the reporting of the United States of America’s Legal
Counsel/Advisor Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz’ CRIMINAL activities and WHITE
Supremacist connections, etc.:

https://www.slideshare.net/VogelDenise/notice-of-eeoc-complaint-against-1-st-heritage-credit-llc-filed
Thus, the UIE is very confident that there is SUFFICIENT evidence to support the Complaints to be
brought to the attention of the International Criminal Court as well as OTHER International Tribunals
to address the INTERNATIONAL Crimes of the United States of America as well as the United States’
DESPOTISM “Corporate” Empire that the USA has ALLOWED its Government to be INFILTRATED
by!
If after you have reviewed the information contained in this email and believe that the Utica
International Embassy and its SOVEREIGN Citizens as well as other FOREIGN
Nations/Governments/Citizens have NOT been subjected to INTERNATIONAL CRIMES, we then
encourage you to REVISIT the ICC’s FACT SHEET information that we have preserved at:
https://www.slideshare.net/VogelDenise/international-criminal-court-fact-sheet

5. PLEASE BE ADVISED: DEADLINES have been issued to address some of the APARTHEID
practices that have been implemented in the STATE OF MISSISSIPPI within the Lands/Territories
presently known as the United States of America. We are presently monitoring these DEADLINES and
the DEMANDS issued to provide the results (if any) that have been made by the United States of
America as well as the State of Mississippi (i.e. for which the UIE will be CHALLENGING its
Statehood)!
https://www.slideshare.net/VogelDenise/111117-letter-to-baker-donelson-butler-snow-governor-phil-
bryant-mayor-antar-lumumba
PLEASE BE ADVISED: When the LIVES, LIBERTIES, FREEDOMS, SOVEREIGNTY, etc. of the
Utica International Embassy’s Citizens and/or Supporters are ENDANGERED and THREATENED with
Killings/Murder – i.e. GENOCIDE, etc. – we do NOT take such WAR CRIMES and INTERNATIONAL
Crimes lightly!
We here at the UIE are researching further information to support the “WARRANTS” for
ARRESTS on the United States’ DESPOT’S Individuals – i.e. which will include
Lawyers/Attorneys/Employees at Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz, U.S. Congressional
Members, U.S. Presidents, Federal Bureau Of Investigation, State Governors, STATE/FEDERAL Law
Enforcement Officials, etc. – for PROSECUTION purposes, etc.
Furthermore, looking into what are our options in obtaining MILITARY support against the ACTS
OF TERRORISM/CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY that is presently being carried out here in the State of
Mississippi and abroad!

Subject: EXPOSING APARTHEID IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’S STATE OF MISSISSIPPI

8. Greetings!
This is to advise that the Utica International Embassy’s Government
Officials/Citizens/Supporters are still in the process of drafting Complaints for submittal to
International Tribunals (as the International Criminal Court, etc.). These Complaints are
coming together nicely as more and more SOVEREIGN Citizens are reaching out to us and
sharing their experiences under what we are calling:
1. STRAWMAN SCAMS – wherein we will be addressing the illegal and/or
UNLAWFUL FORMATION of the “United States’ DESPOTISM Corporate
Empire,” that has INFILTRATED the United States of America’s Government and is
controlled and run by Nazis and/or WHITE Jews/Zionists Supremacists. Moreover,
EXPOSING the CONSPIRACIES and/or PLOT OF ENSLAVEMENT that former
United States President John F. Kennedy announced exposing and appears led to his
ASSISSINATION approximately SEVEN (7) Days later to silence him!
For instance, under such Strawman Scams, we look forward to addressing the crimes being
carried out against Sovereign Citizens that have been MASKED through Nazi and/or WHITE
Jews/Zionists/Supremacists having their members go in DISGUISE on the
HIGHWAYS/INTERSTATES, etc. to carry out attacks specifically targeting Natives, Native
Americans and those who have been LABELED by the WHITE Man as being
Blacks/Negroes/African-Americans/People-Of-Color! Victims who are NOT aware that
under FEDERAL Laws, a Driver License is NOT required and as Sovereign Citizens their
Rights, etc. NOT to enter into CONTRACTS – masked through a State Driver License,
etc. - in which the Terms and Conditions of any such allege contracts/agreements are
NOT being made known to them and the ENSLAVEMENT/SLAVERY Agendas, etc.
being carried out unbeknown to them!
2. 13TH AMENDMENT SCAMS – wherein we will be addressing “HOW” the United
States’ DESPOTISM Empire went about placing their Jews/Zionists/Supremacist in
GOVERNMENT positions for purposes of DRAFTING Legislation and/or Laws to
accomplish their APARTHEID/WHITE Supremacist Agendas, etc. Moreover, taking
on what many may know as the “NEW WORLD ORDER” and/or the “SECRET
SOCIETIES” that set out to RULE the WORLD and push their WHITE
SUPREMACIST Agendas that have caused GREAT HUMANITARIAN DISASTERS,
DEVASTATION and DESTRUCTION across the World! In other words, the RICH and
EVIL/WICKED versus the POOR, etc.!

9. 3. FORECLOSURE SCAMS – wherein we will be addressing “HOW” the United States’
DESPOTISM Empire has gone about engaging in Acts of Terrorism/Crimes Against
Humanity, etc. that THREATEN the Livelihood, Rights, Privileges, Immunities, etc. of
Sovereign Citizens. Moreover, “HOW” the United States of America and its Legal
Counsel BAKER DONELSON BEARMAN CALDWELL & BERKOWITZ and their Co-
Conspirators have WAGED and CONTINUE to Wage Wars of Aggression/Acts of
Aggression, etc. in the THEFT, STEALING and/or UNLAWFUL SEIZURE of
Lands/Territories that they have led Sovereign Citizens to believe they own and/or
possess!
and wanting to be a part of such HISTORICAL UNDERTAKINGS!
To get an idea of the War Crimes, Acts of Terrorism/Crimes Against Humanity, Crimes
Against Peace, Acts of Aggression, Genocide, etc. that we look forward to bringing before the
applicable Tribunal(s), please see an Article that we have published on today entitled:
MATTERS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT . . . :

IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERCA’S STATE OF MISSISSIPPI
that may be found at the following LINK:

working with other Governments and their Leaders/Citizens to build a BETTER World in
which the OPPRESSED Sovereign Nations and their Citizens RISE!

Dear Sir/ Madam,
On behalf of the Prosecutor, I thank you for your query on how to submit information
to the Office of the Prosecutor. The Office welcomes the submission of information on
crimes that may fall within the jurisdiction of the Court.
Communications may be addressed to the Office of the Prosecutor, Information &
Evidence Unit, Post Office Box 19519, 2500 CM The Hague, The Netherlands, or sent by email
to otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int , or sent by facsimile to +31 70 515 8555.
Communications should be written in one of the working languages of the Court, i.e.
English or French, or if that is not possible, then in one of the other official languages, i.e.
Arabic, Chinese, Russian or Spanish. It is preferable for communications to contain as
much detailed information as possible.
Please be aware that the submission of information does not automatically trigger
an investigation. In accordance with the Rome Statute, the Office of the Prosecutor must
analyse all information submitted in order to determine whether the rigorous criteria of
the Statute are satisfied. As you may know, the International Criminal Court has a
carefully defined jurisdiction and mandate. We are pleased to provide supplementary
information below summarizing the main aspects of the Court’s jurisdiction.
Once a decision is taken whether or not there is a reasonable basis to proceed with an
investigation, the Office will promptly inform the senders of relevant communications,
along with reasons for the decision. The Office will protect the confidentiality of all
information submitted.
We are grateful for your interest in the Court. If you would like to learn more about
the work of the Court, I invite you to visit our website at www.icc-cpi.int.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION CONCERNING
THE JURISDICTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT
As you may know, the International Criminal Court (“the ICC” or “the Court”) is governed by the
Rome Statute, which entrusts the Court with a very specific and carefully defined jurisdiction and
mandate.
Regarding subject matter jurisdiction: A fundamental feature of the Rome Statute is that the Court
may only exercise jurisdiction over persons for the most serious crimes of concern to the international
community as a whole, namely genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, as defined in
Articles 6 to 8 of the Statute. At this time, the Court cannot exercise jurisdiction over the crime of
aggression until the Assembly of States Parties adopts a definition of the crime and the conditions for
jurisdiction and amends the Rome Statute accordingly (Article 5(2)).
Regarding temporal jurisdiction: Under Article 11 of the Statute, the Court may only exercise
jurisdiction over crimes committed after 1 July 2002, the date of entry into force of the Statute. This
means that allegations of incidents occurring prior to this date fall outside the Court’s jurisdiction.
Regarding personal/territorial jurisdiction: Under Articles 12 and 13 of the Statute, the Court may
only exercise jurisdiction over international crimes if one or more of the following criteria are met: (i)
its jurisdiction has been accepted by the State on the territory of which the crime was committed, (ii)
its jurisdiction has been accepted by the State of which the person accused is a national, or (iii) the
situation is referred to the Prosecutor by the UN Security Council acting under Chapter VII of the UN
Charter. For a complete list of countries that have ratified the Statute and thereby accepted the
jurisdiction of the Court, please visit the Assembly of State Parties website:
https://asp.icc-cpi.int/EN_Menus/asp/pages/asp_home.aspx
Even where all of these criteria are satisfied, the Office must also assess other factors, such as the
gravity of the situation, whether national judicial systems are investigating and prosecuting the
alleged crimes, and the interests of justice.
Given the defined jurisdiction of the Court as well as the need to focus its limited resources on the
gravest situations, many serious allegations will be beyond the reach of this institution to address.
Please rest assured that if you do chose to submit information to the Office of the Prosecutor, your
communication will be analysed in accordance with the Statute. In light of the complex issues that
must be addressed, analysis can take some time. Once a decision is reached, you will receive a
