The Declaration of Human Rights? : Comments

By Don Aitkin, published 20/10/2020

The Declaration has special significance. It was written at the end of the Second World War, and is imbued with the triumphal tone of victory.

Don the dreamer!

“what is food for one man may be bitter poison to others“

That Don is a view increasingly shared here in Australia on the madness this topic has become!

Hitler didn’t invent anti semitism, he simply capitalised on it for political gain.
The US was equally anti Semitic: and continued to be from wars end, when this document was formulated.

During the progress of the Nuremberg trials, the US were secreting useful nazis into its research departments.

Any port in a storm!

Question mark indeed.

Liberty or licence, you can't have both.
Here in Stralya it's all licence now and few seem to see the problem with that.

The Declaration of Human Rights matters in Australia, in our region and across the world. It matters at the UN. It needs to guide our democracy and foreign policy. It needs to support better social, economic and environmental outcomes for all Australians and citizens of the world.

Sadly the political elites in the West and at the UN have at times paid only lip service to the Declaration of Human Rights. A case in point is the decade long UN involvement in the Cultural Genocide of Macedonia and Macedonian identity, culture, rule of law and human rights in partnership with the USA, NATO and the EU. This is unjust, illegal and unsustainable.

Here is another thought bubble Don.

You pack up your personal gear in a suitcase with a two man tent, and go live on the footpath as ever increasingly Australians are doing, while they make way for the foreign hordes disguised as refugees, given priority to the five percent government owned social housing.

Stop supporting causes and making rules others have to live by.
Add to this for example, a power supply so expensive the poor sit through winters in unheated apartments, and summers too hot to handle with no air conditioning.
More wailing from your type, where others pay with a nightmare, while you snooze in a cosy dream.

Hospitals given over to foreigners while Australians go begging for medicall attention.

Wake up Don.

Dan.

It should be noted that Islamic countries do not recognise the
UN Human Rights treaty. They have their own "Human Rights".
The odd thing is Pakistan who has the worse human rights performance
has been recently appointed to the UN Human rights commission !

It would be a great joke if the treaty did not leak into Australian legislation.

I agree with the declaration and as it was written. And should also be in our own constitution, as part of a bill of inalienable rights! The fact that we stand alone as the remaining western democracy without a bill of human rights, is self evidently the result of elected control freaks who are always threatened by such documents and enshrined in law, irrefutable human rights!?

We look and sound like the world's greatest hypocrites as we critique China and other countries over their perceived human rights abuses? But leave the door ajar for that or similar abuse to occur here, depending on the size of the bank balance/political influence?

Such as, to be incarcerated at a minister's discretion and little else for days or weeks? And apply the law differently to this or that demographic, depending on the aforementioned influence or ethnicity?

If there's any other valid reason or reasons, for our own lack of a bill of inalienable human rights, it/they completely escapes me, and dare I say every other rational, thinking Australian!?
