To the honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives assembled in Parliament:

The petition of certain citizens of Australia draws to the attention of the House recent statements made by the President of Iran, Mr Moahmoud Ahmadinejad, in which he:

(1)   calls for the destruction of the State of Israel;

(2)   warns that any Muslims who support the State of Israel will burn in the Umma of Islam; and

(3)   denies the Nazi genocide against the jews of Europe and demonise Jews.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to:

(1)   condemn the statements made by the Iranian President;

(2)   call on the Australian Government to:

(a)   refer the incitements to, genocide by President Ahamdinejad and other Iranian leaders to the appropriate agencies of the United Nations for account;

(b)   initiate in the International Court of Justice an inter-state complaint against Iran, for its crimal violation of the Convention on the prevention and Punishment of the Crime of genocide; and

(c)   urge the United Nationas to act against Iran’s threats towards the State of Israel; and

(3)   affirm the principle that no country should be allowed to call for the elimination of another.
