Zardari enjoys absolute immunity, no cases can be re-opened, says Swiss AG


President Asif Ali Zardari. The Swiss Attorney General said it is a big problem because under the International Law which is also applicable to Switzerland, the Head of State, the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister enjoy absolute immunity on reopening of cases. To a question by the interviewer about reopening of cases if submitted by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), the Attorney General of Geneva said “ if an application to reopen the cases in Swiss courts was submitted through Pakistan’s Embassy it would be returned,” since the Head of the State enjoys absolute immunity according to International Law. Daniel Zappelli, the Attorney General of Geneva,said that he had received a three- page fax from Pakistan which he believed was an incomplete application.

  1. The Attorney General of Geneva said if an application to reopen the cases in Swiss courts was submitted through Pakistan’s Embassy it would be returned, since the Head of the State enjoys absolute immunity according to International Law. I don’t know why can’t our honourable Chief Justice understand? Despite knowing that President Zardari enjoys immunity, he keeps on asking NAB to write again and again to Swiss authorities to reopen cases against him. Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhary does wrong because he takes good men for bad, bad men for good. They haven’t proved one case against President Zardari. You know how it started? It was Gen. Mujibur Rehman’s brainchild (information minister during Gen. Zia’s martial law), to use the old trick: give the dog a bad name and hang him. So they created this image of him, as an Achilles heel of PPP. Well, this not for the first time unfortunately every CJ played his dirty game against the Govt of PPP.
