| For Criminals, Justice Means Suicide |

Criminals and justice are always at odds with each other. Thus, for someone that deliberately intends on cheating and oppressing others, accepting justice is tantamount to committing suicide. Believing that accepting the EEBC ruling is just as good as committing suicide, the TPLF regime persistently decides not to accept the ruling and so far has been buying time by making seemingly plausible excuses while playing with the lives and opportunities of both the Eritrean and Ethiopian people.
Circling around phrases like ‘accepting in principle,' ‘peace talks' and the like, in an attempt to delay the implementation of a decision which was agreed upon to be final and binding, is in effect a refusal to accept the ruling and is a manifestation of disregard of international laws, irrespective of the diplomatic phrases and tactics employed to make it look otherwise. As everyone is fully aware, the only scenario that should follow a legal argument is the direct implementation of the Boundary Commission's decision and immediate withdrawal from illegally occupied territories without further ado. The facts on the ground being so, the TPLF regime's continuous flow of ‘statements,' most of which seem to contradict each other, have numbed people's ears with repetitions. A short while ago the regime was beating war drums and saying that it “has made the necessary preparations for war and unlike the previous wars, this winter's war will stretch out with no end.” Now, hardly a fortnight later, the TPLF authorities are contradicting themselves by claiming that they “will not go to war so long as the other side does not open an aggression. We hope to resolve the problem in a peaceful and legal manner.” However, their claim of not seeking to engage in war ‘so long as the other side does not declare war,' while they obstruct a final and binding decision and illegally occupy sovereign territories of the ‘other side,' is a humorless irony. At the risk of stating the obvious, in undermining the values of international agreements and refusing to withdraw from sovereign Eritrean territories, the TPLF regime has already launched an aggression against the Eritrean people. Thus, it is insignificant that the TPLF clique should now declare war or refrain from doing so because the regime has long since declared war on Eritrea. Hence, regardless of the TPLF regime's continuous verbal campaigns, the clique's only objective is to carry on with the already declared war on Eritrea because so long as the acceptance of the EEBC ruling is synonymous with suicide for the TPLF regime, war is its only choice. To escape from committing suicide, they will have to hide from the prevalence of law and war is the only choice such regimes have in dodging the rule of law. Heading towards its demise at a hastened pace, the TPLF regime's only choice at present is to put in effect the war it has long since declared on Eritrea. That is the only choice it will have until its inevitable downfall!

Letter dated Nov. 30'07 from the Legal Adviser to the President of Eritrea to the president of the UNSC
From `legal nonsense� to `legal fiction�.

With effect from midnight tonight (30.11.2007), the demarcation of Ethio-Eritrean boundary will be as complete as any demarcated interstate boundary would be, if not better defined.
