Expulsions Illegal, UN Tells Clarke
(GUARDIAN - UK)—A senior UN representative last night threatened to cite the British government for violation of human rights over its planned deportations of alleged terrorist sympathisers. Manfred Novak, the UN human rights commission’s special investigator on torture, told the Guardian he is seeking permission through the Foreign Office to visit Britain to discuss the issue with the home secretary, Charles Clarke.
In a statement on Tuesday night, Prof Novak said that the government’s intention to return radical preachers to their countries of origin, even though some of those countries have a track record of human rights abuses, “reflects a tendency in Europe to circumvent the international obligation not to deport anybody if there is a serious risk that he or she might be subjected to torture”.
His intervention came as Mr Clarke, in response to the London bombings, yesterday introduced a list of “unacceptable behaviour” which would allowing him to deport or exclude foreign citizens for glorifying or encouraging terrorism. Mr Clarke said the first exclusions and deportations would take place within the “next few days”.
He rejected the UN criticism. He said “the human rights of those people who were blown up on the tube in London on July 7 are, to be quite frank, more important than the human rights of the people who committed those acts.” He added: “I wish the UN would look at human rights in the round, rather than simply focusing all the time on the terrorist.”
But Prof Novak refused to accept the rebuke. “The UN is strongly concerned about terrorism and counter-terrorism. But there are certain standards that have to be observed in the context of counter-terrorism,” he said last night. “We in the western democratic countries, in the fight against terrorism, should not step over these limits by violating international law.”
Prof Novak, whose investigations take him round the world, said he could cite Britain when he reports to the UN general assembly in October but he hoped the issue could be sorted out before then. His main objection is to the government’s policy of seeking memoranda of understanding from countries to which people would be deported that they would not be tortured. He said the memoranda were not an appropriate tool to eradicate the risk of torture.

So lets see we as a nation stump up billions for the UN to fritter away on stupid projects and lose in dodgy accounting scams, and we shall say nothing on the UN heads involvement in dubious oil deals.
Now they try to tell us what laws we can and can not enact. Fuck the UN, a total waste of time, effort and money. With people like that running it, no wonder they have not solved the food crisis in Africa after 30 years plus of trying.
Damn we have not even kicked out a single rag head yet, and it looks more unlikely that the pussy bleading heart liberals will endanger our whole civilization by letting untermenchen savages live amongst us.
And if you have any doubts about Islamofascism:
A picture that says it all.
