UN says British deportation plan may breach human rights | |||||
2005-08-24 | |||||
GENEVA: A UN expert on torture and human rights on Tuesday expressed concern over Britain's plan to deport hardline Islamists to their countries of origin on the basis of assurances that they will not be abused or tortured there. Manfred Nowak, the UN special rapporteur on torture, said the deportation plans - part of a crackdown announced by Prime Minister Tony Blair in the aftermath of the London bomb attacks - could breach international human rights rules.

#15 I would speed up the deportation process if I was assured they would be abused and tortured in their Islamic homeland. Serves them right for preaching Jihad and sedition in Western nations |

#14 PlanetDan -- you caught me. I am a USC fan. Yes, the ACLU is analogous to UN. They both want to get us killed. |

#11 Maybe they can ship them all to Geneva to live with Manfred? I'll bet the UN digs there got plenty of room. He can teach them all to be butlers and servants... |

#10 Ah, there we go. When I hear the word "expert" it is often code for idiotic whore. |

#9 A UN expert on torture and human rights on Tuesday expressed concern over Britain's plan to deport hardline Islamists to their countries of origin on the basis of assurances that they will not be abused or tortured there. Somehow, I just can't muster up a lot of sympathy for Muslim extremists..... |

#8 A UN that still won't admit that "human rights" are being violated in Sudan. |

#7 UCLA? Do you mean ACLU? Although must do admit, the UN is more or less like a bunch of frat boys. Besides, isn't the UN too busy to worry about such things now that they're in the paleo printing business (today gaza, tomorrow the west bank and jerusalem")" |

#6 ...serious risk of the deportee being subjected to torture or ill treatment upon arrival in the receiving country. If the UN "experts" are so efficient, let them do something about the receiving countries. After all, they should be no worries, as the UK is not going to send any body to the USA... |

#5 Remember guys the U.N. has some of the foremost experts on human rights violations,"set a thief to catch a thief". |

#2 What is the UN if not Diplomacy and agreements? So this guy admits the UN and it's agreements aren't worth warm spit. The UK may safely ignore said UN "agreements" they as they are equally invalid. |
