"
Everyone
whose rights and freedoms as set forth in this Convention are violated
shall have an effective
remedy before a national authority notwithstanding that the violation has
been committed by persons acting in an official
capacity."
========================
"It
is our duty to ensure that these rights are a living reality -- that they are
known, understood and enjoyed by everyone, everywhere. It is often those who
most need their human rights protected, who also need to be informed that the
Declaration exists -- and that it exists for them." (United Nations
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon)
"A society that has lost its way ..."

Human
Rights (Ireland)Monday December 31, 2007 12:06 by W.
Finnerty. Human Rights Day
2007 (December 10th 2007) marked the start of a year-long commemoration of
the
60th anniversary of the
United Nations Universal Declaration of
Human Rights.
"It is our duty to ensure that
these rights are a living reality -- that they are known, understood and enjoyed
by everyone, everywhere. It is often those who most need their human rights
protected, who also need to be informed that the Declaration exists -- and that
it exists for them." (United Nations Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon)
"The Declaration belongs to each and
every one of us – read it, learn it, promote it and claim it as your
own." The above excerpts have
been taken from the following
United Nations location:
http://www.un.org/events/humanrights/2007/
.
A new web site, named
"Human Rights
(Ireland)", which hopefully will grow in size during this anniversary year,
has been opened recently to celebrate and to participate in the year-long
commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights.
The address of this new web site is:

EPILOGUE: Earlier
today
RTE (State Broadcaster) reported that "
the Archbishop of
Dublin (Dr John Neill) has warned that the nation is being sucked into a society that
has lost its way." (For the full text of Dr Neill's statement please
see
http://www.rte.ie/news/2007/1231/newyear.html
.)
Could it be I wonder, that some careful
consideration of
basic human rights principles, and
basic human rights
law, might help our nation find its way back out of the mess (as some see
it)?
It might be worth a try - and what have we
(as a nation) got to lose by such
efforts?

Please
note I have
STILL not received
ANY reply
from
Chief Justice Murray (or from
ANY of his
senior lawyer colleagues) to the letter I sent to him through the
registered post on
August 28th 2007. This ongoing
failure to provide me with a reply is:
1) a source of growing
mental
TORTURE
for me,
2) aggravates and adds to the
C-PTSD medical condition I
suffer from, and
3) provides yet more
VERY
WORRYING evidence (from my viewpoint) of rampant and
completely out-of-control corruption at the very
TOP of the Republic of
Ireland's legal profession: and which now appears
IMPOSSIBLE TO DEAL WITH BY ANY REASONABLE
MEANS . A copy of the letter in
question to Chief Justice Murray can be viewed at the following address:
http://www.europeancourtofhumanrightswilliamfinnerty.com/ChiefJusticeMurray/28August2007/Letter.htm =================

copy of the above information was sent on January 3rd 2008 to a selection of
