Eliasson. Mänskliga rättigheter.

Ja, det var dags. Eliasson har ställt till med nog för att pensioneras för länge sedan. Vad jag menar? Tja...., en väsentlig punkt är när han arbetade med att omarbeta UN Commission on Human Rights och glädjestrålande gick emot USA februari 2006 när det blev uppenbart för alla att fiaskot, med medlemmar som Kuba, Libyen, Saudiarabien, Sudan och Zimbabwe omarbetades till att bli en fullständig katastrof. A once-promising reform proposal," commented the International Herald Tribune, "has been so watered down that it has become an ugly sham, offering cover to an unacceptable status quo." Nevertheless, on March 15, 2006, the General Assembly enacted the text as resolution A/RES/60/251 by a vote of 170 in favor, 4 against, and 3 abstaining. Nu har vi UN Human Rights Council, som inte tar någon hänsyn alls till om medlemmarna har några mänskliga rättigheter i sina hemländer. Pakistan, detta under av mänskliga rättigheter har just blivit återvalt!!! I april gratulerade de Sudan för dess samarbetsvilja: Sudan’s allies from the African, Islamic groups and Non-Aligned blocs lined up to praise Khartoum, a position that was formalized in a consensus resolution welcoming the “collaboration of the government of Sudan.” Gibreil Hamid, a survivor from Darfur, took the floor on behalf of UN Watch to confront the impunity granted to Sudan.

UN Watch Takes on Sudan and its Allies

UN Human Rights Council, 7th Session Interactive Dialogue with UN Special Rapporteur on Sudan UN Watch Statement Delivered by Gibreil Hamid, March 17, 2008

Thank you, Mr. President.

I speak on behalf of UN Watch. We thank the Special Rapporteur for her excellent work for the victims of Darfur.

Mr. President, I am from Darfur, and I know the truth about what is happening there.

The truth can be found in today's report.

The report shows how the Government of Sudan is violating human rights and international humanitarian law, with physical assaults, abductions and rape.

In October, Government forces attacked Muhajiriya. People praying in a mosque were rounded up, and forty-eight civilians were killed.

In November, Government planes dropped bombs on Habila. The attackers entered the villages, shooting, stealing animals and setting fire to houses.

On 2 December, in West Darfur, armed men attacked a group of ten women and girls. A sixteen-year-old girl from the group was gang raped, and at least three other women were whipped and beaten with axes. Police and soldiers refused to help.

Today's report says that violence against women in Darfur is continuing. There is no improvement. There is no justice. The attackers enjoy immunity.

Mr. President, in the name of basic human rights, UN Watch urges Sudan to end these attacks against innocent civilians.

UN Watch asks this Council to please stop praising Sudan for its "cooperation." Mr. President, attacking little girls is not "cooperation."

We wish to ask the rapporteur: What further action is she planning to protect the victims of Darfur?

Thank you, Mr. President.

Varför skriver TT inget alls om detta? Vill de inte att svenskarna ska få veta? "Islamic Jihad lovar vapenvila" påminner om rökaren som stort förkunnar: "jag slutar röka efter varje cigarett!" Som du ser här säger utrikesminister Livni att det är dags att besvara elden från araberna. Där ser du också att Abbas styrkor, Al Aksabrigaderna, tog på sig morgonens mördande attack mot en bensinstation i Negevöknen, det tredje brottet mot vapenstilleståndet, alla från arabisk sida. Konstigt att TT glömde det. De skiftas åt, ibland är det Hamas, ibland Fatah, ibland Islamic Jihad - så låtsas den ena hålla vapenstilleståndet så länge de har lust, medan de beväpnar sig, börjar en av de andra. Trodde du det var någon skillnad mellan "moderata" och "extremistiska" arabiska terrororganisationer så har du fel. De har identiskt samma hatpropaganda mot judar och Israel, helt förbjudet enligt Annapolis och Vägplanen. Se http://www.pmw.org.il/Bulletins_may2008.html#b250508 Där var vissa tecken på att USA börjar fatta att de omöjligtvis kan pressa fram en "fred" mellan Israel och Abbas när grundförutsättningarna saknas: att Abbas ändrar på den av sina grundlagar som säger att Israel inte får existera. Istället var där antydningar att Bush fattade att det var Iran som låg bakom allting, men..... Att skicka Condi till Mellanöstern ett dussin gånger till är faktiskt direkt löjligt när hon inte har åstadkommit ett skvatt och inte heller kommer att göra det. ANNAT Olmert, i sitt vansinne, är dösugen på att släppa 1000 arabiska mördare för att kunna sitta på tronen lite till. Han vet utmärkt väl att det kommer att förorsaka fler mord av judar, men det är ju inte DET som är huvudsaken för honom och Barak. Kommentarerna är beska. Det är knappast det sätt man vinner krig och respekt från araberna på. OLMERT har erkänt att han ger stora summor pengar till Hamas!!!! Samtidigt som han ger vapen till Fatah. Och fängslar minderåriga judiska flickor som inget ont gjort med än uttryckt att de inte älskar honom. Saudiarabien har det senaste halvåret arresterat 701 terrorister utan protester från svenska människorättsgrupper (IMRA). DN961 SvD627 DN929 DN623 DN529 * * * * .
