Human Rights, the world celebrates, no Berlusconi
The 60th anniversary of the Declaration Paris snubbed from the right. The government has not yet implemented the International Criminal Court.
Careless. Commitments not implemented. Hiding. So the Italian government is going to not mention a deadline that will involve the whole world: the 60th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights. An absence
guilty. An unjustified and unjustifiable disregard. Ten in December, the world celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: the "Magna Charta" of humanity, which for the first time recognized the fundamental rights of all human beings. Rights which continue to be violated, trampled, muddy in many parts of the planet. More reason to renew a commitment. To keep with the "diplomacy of the States' and the peoples. Ten in December: the Italian government latita. It is called out. Very low profile. Virtually non-existent. To complaints and Flavio Lotti, coordinator of the Table of Peace, an organization that promoted the National Committee for the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
GOVERNMENT Fugitive
"Italy - said the fighting - and the only European country that has chosen to ignore the call UN's December 10, 2007 inaugurated the Year of Human Rights and called on all states to a more concrete commitment. " Call that the Italian government has largely rejected. "The fact - noted the coordinator of the Table of Peace - is even more serious because Italy is part of the UN Human Rights Council, the body that more than anyone else has the responsibility to defend and promote respect for human rights rights in the world. For this - concludes Lotti - Italy should be at the forefront among the countries that undertake more for human rights. " It should. Because the reality, unfortunately, is another. And the reality is about understatement, hallway, delaying the implementation of commitments made in international fora. Government at large. The proof is in the complaint of the radicals. "It is now 10 years after the approval of the Rome Statute by the Diplomatic Conference that established the International Criminal Court, and that is the first permanent institution with the mission to prosecute and try those responsible for some of the most serious crimes known to humanity such as genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. "
THE CRIMINAL COURT CASE
to remember are the radical deputies elected from the lists of Pd, Rita Bernardini Mecacci and Matthew, then complaining the lack of implementation to date, by the Italian government of the Statute of the International Criminal Court. "Italy - Bernardini and continue Mecacci - was among the protagonists of that story through political and diplomatic efforts of governments, the center-right and center-left, because ours was the fourth country to ratify the Statute, thanks the tireless struggle of the Radical Party and No Peace Without Justice. " Yet today, Italy is still failing in implementing within the state, which means that it is not in a position to work from the legal point of view with the Court. One issue that - explain - as it continues to remain unresolved, could expose our country to step in our country of criminals wanted by the International Court, for example, which could not be delivered to it by our authorities. " A fugitive from a government to be counterbalanced by a grassroots mobilization of civil society associations and more engaged on issues of human rights in Italy and around the world: 221 initiatives in 159 cities in all Italian regions are the numbers of National Day Action for Human Rights, which next Wednesday, December 10, celebrated throughout Italy on the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, under the banner of the slogan "If do not defend them, you take them out. "
EVENTS
Duecentouno one hundred fifty-nine initiatives in the city, in all Italian regions are the numbers of the National Day of Action for Human Rights, on Wednesday December 10, celebrated throughout Italy on the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Humans. The highlight of the Day initiative, promoted by a cartel of associations and committees, will be held in front of the headquarters of the Directorate General of RAI in Rome on Viale Mazzini, a sit-in during which participants can listen to the reading of the Universal Declaration of 1948, the Italian Constitution and the service contract of public television: "Dear Rai - says the wheel of the organizers - we ask you to give voice to the voiceless. We ask you to enlighten people's lives and to defend their fundamental rights, whatever the color of their skin. We ask that you do every day. We do not ask much. We ask only that you do your duty as a public service. " Despite the disinterest of government.
