Australia grilled on human rights by UN

Australia grilled on human rights by UN

London: Former prime minister Tony Abbott's attack on a 2015 report into children in immigration detention has been raised during a United Nations examination of Australia's human rights record.

Australia is being grilled by the Human Rights Committee in Geneva early on Thursday (AEDT) following its election to the UN's Human Rights Council.

Vice chair of the Committee Yuval Shany noted Australia's "generally strong record" on human rights, however he questioned Mr Abbott's 2015 comments on the Australian Human Rights Commission's The Forgotten Children report.

The report found detention centres were a "dangerous place for children" and called for a royal commission into the practice of putting asylum seeker children into mandatory detention.

The then prime minister labelled the report "a blatantly partisan politicised exercise", something Mr Shany labelled an "odd statement".

Mr Shany also remarked he was "perplexed" that Attorney-General George Brandis asked Commissioner Gillian Triggs to resign before the critical report was published.

The Australian delegation responded that the relationship between the government and the commission was "in a very good place at the moment".

Australia's implementation of the human rights committee's decisions was also criticised.

Mr Shany said it's "unacceptable" for Australia to "routinely reject" the committee's views, or "self-judge" UN human rights treaties compliance, saying the country can't "pick and choose" its compliance with human rights law.

The lack of implementation was "completely off the charts for the committee", Mr Shany said. "It's incredible for a country that claims to have a leading role in global human rights."

The Australian delegation responded that the implementation of views would have to be an area where the committee and government "respectfully disagree" as Australia does not see the views of the committee and other treaty bodies as legally binding.

The same-sex marriage plebiscite was also criticised by the committee, with member Sarah Cleveland remarking: "Human rights are not to be determined by opinion poll or a popular vote".

Other issues raised by the committee included, transgender and intersex rights, domestic violence, the sterilisation of intellectually disabled women and girls, and the balance between anti-terrorism laws and personal liberty.

Australia was elected unopposed to the council, for the first time on Tuesday, as a Western European and other States representative for a three-year term.

John Quinn, Australian Ambassador and permanent representative to the UN in Geneva, said Australia "was not complacent" and acknowledged there were things the country "could do better".

He said violence against women and improving the lives of Indigenous and Torres Strait Islanders as well as constitutional recognition were particular issues for Australia.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop nominated the empowerment of women globally, indigenous rights, abolition of the death penalty and crises in North Korea and Syria as the issues Australia would pursue during its tenure.

It will also push for reforms to the council.

Appeasers of violent murders and wanna-be terrorists squeal publicly, because some Australians want to keep ALL moslems, out of Australia.

All moslems should be denied entry to Australia.

All moslems, even moslem children.

Why so ?

Moslem children are not like our children, nor are moslem adults like ourselves.

Moslem children and moslem adults have been 'infected' with ISLAM, and 'infected' with an ISLAMIC hatred of those who do not believe as they [moslems] believe.

ISLAM teaches and commands all moslems [including moslem children], to be combatants for Allah's cause, against Allah's enemies.

All moslems are latent, wanna-be, homicidal maniacs.

In homes all over Australia, many moslems are teaching their children to HATE Australia and Australians,
because Australians are not moslems,
because, Australians are Allah's enemies.

EVIDENCES, IN SUPPORT OF MY ACCUSATIONS ?

Quote:

"You're never too young to be a homicidal maniac for Allah!"

'Teacher quits after primary school students threaten to behead her'

QUESTION;
Where do moslem children living in Australia get these ideas from ?

.

IMAGE.....

Melbourne, 6 Australians dead.

An atrocity, committed by a 'Greek' person claiming that...

"Muslim faith is the correct faith according to the whole world.....

And I am not guilty."

.....n.b. the dropkick who did this, considers himself to be a virtuous person.

Killing the disbeliever [to the moslem], is performing 'good works' for his faith.

Killing the disbeliever, is what all of the religious precepts of ISLAM direct him to do.

All moslems are taught, by ISLAM's precepts, to be combatants, against Allah's enemies.

To fight, to kill those who 'disbelieve'.

.

What the precepts of mainstream ISLAM teach, to every moslem.
...and what moslems are NOT revealing to us!

Quote:

"THE RIGHT TO JUDGE"

"It is not the function of Islam to compromise

with the concepts of Jahiliyya which are current in the world

or to co-exist in the same land together with a jahili system........"

- SAYYID QUTB - ISLAMIC scholar
http://www.islamworld.net/justice.html

OR, Google;
"THE RIGHT TO JUDGE" SAYYID QUTB

Jahiliyya = = any un-ISLAMIC lifestyle, or un-ISLAMIC influence.

e.g. such as pluralism, or, support for democracy.

The 'Jahiliyya' lifestyle is totally incompatible with ISLAM.

What the precepts of mainstream ISLAM teach, to every moslem.
...and what moslems are NOT revealing to us!

Quote:

"....Jahiliyya is a result of the lack of Sharia law, without which Islam cannot exist;"

"...true Islam is a complete system with no room for any element of Jahiliyya"

"...all aspects of Jahiliyya...are "evil and corrupt" "

Promoting and encouraging violent and unlawful acts is illegal.

We live in a country in which the people supposedly respect the rule of law.

Without widespread respect for the law of the land, we [our Australian society] would descend into being like Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Somalia, etc, etc - which is exactly what moslems are trying to achieve.

Moslems want to destroy all of the institutions in Australia, which help to maintain a peaceful and functioning society.

SUGGESTION;
If you live in Australia and you don't like what ISLAM promotes then you should contact your federal parliamentary representative - EXPLAIN TO HIM/HER WHY YOU DO NOT LIKE ISLAM AND MOSLEMS - and encourage your federal parliamentary representative to try to get ISLAM lawfully declared a proscribed [banned] group in Australia.

Act within the law.

Otherwise we are no better than moslems.

The very same UN that has Saudi Arabia on their human rights council despite having the death penalty for atheists,blasphemers and homosexuals along with amputations for theft.

Any criticism of the Saudis from the UN on human rights? Roll Eyes

How Saudi Arabia Kept its UN Human Rights Council Seat

How did Saudi Arabia, which has been indiscriminately bombing Yemeni civilians for 18 months, just get re-elected to the Human Rights Council, the United Nations' premier human rights body?

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

The muzzo CULT has no place in civilized society

The muzzo CULT has no place in a free and honest society

The muzzo CULT is of no good to ANY country

The muzzo CULT is populated with retarded, backward, primitive, pedophiles, murderers and COWARDS.

DENY ANY MUZZOS ENTRY INTO AUSTRALIA

EXILE ANY MUZZOS FROM AUSTRALIA

EXILE ANY AND ALL SYCHOPHANT, SYMPATHISER, APOLOGISTS.
