EFGIC Press Release: Jiang Zemin and “the Real Axis of Evil”

Topping Amnesty International’s list of human rights “scoundrels,” clearly Jiang’s crimes place him along side Hussein, Milosevic, Pinochet and other “least wanted.” Yet, with so much evidence stacked against him, why does Jiang still present a challenge to international rule of law whose statutes are so clear on these issues? -
