Klevius' New Year's quiz: Is this charter a racist and sexist one?


Europe described with the same formula as racist Arabs describe the Arab/islamic slavery "civilization"

 Only the words 'Arab' (to 'European) and 'islamic' (to 'Christian') are changed. Judge for yourself.


This map gives correct information about the world's earliest figurative 3D art in Europe. However, the world 'civilization' would never have been added was it not for the Arab League's laughable use of it belove.


Wouldn't this charter be seen by most PC people as a hatred inciting super nationalist supremacist misogynist and fascist manifesto?

Do note how the Arab charter reflects Western PC self-loathing mixed with Western Human Rights vocabulary while Human Rights as such are dismissed by direct or indirect reference to OIC's sharia declaration.


European Charter on Human Rights


    Based on the faith of the European nation in the dignity of the human person whom God has exalted ever since the beginning of creation and in the fact that the European homeland is the cradle of religions and civilizations whose lofty human values affirm the human right to a decent life based on freedom, justice and equality,

    In furtherance of the eternal principles of fraternity, equality and tolerance among human beings consecrated by the noble Christian religion and the other divinely-revealed religions,

    Being proud of the humanitarian values and principles that the European nation has established throughout its long history, which have played a major role in spreading knowledge between East and West, so making the region a point of reference for the whole world and a destination for seekers of knowledge and wisdom,

    Believing in the unity of the European nation, which struggles for its freedom and defends the right of nations to self-determination, to the preservation of their wealth and to development; believing in the sovereignty of the law and its contribution to the protection of universal and interrelated human rights and convinced that the human person's enjoyment of freedom, justice and equality of opportunity is a fundamental measure of the value of any society,

    Rejecting all forms of racism and Zionism, which constitute a violation of human rights and a threat to international peace and security, recognizing the close link that exists between human rights and international peace and security, reaffirming the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and having regard to the European Convention on Human Rights (OIC's sharia declaration in the Arab version),

    

    The States parties to the Charter have agreed as follows:

    

Article 1

    
    The present Charter seeks, within the context of the national identity of the European States and their sense of belonging to a common civilization, to achieve the following aims:

    

     1.  To place human rights (meaning OIC's sharia declaration in the Arab version) at the centre of the key national concerns of European States, making them lofty and fundamental ideals that shape the will of the individual in European States and enable him to improve his life in accordance with noble human values.

    

     2.  To teach the human person in the European States pride in his identity, loyalty to his country, attachment to his land, history and common interests and to instill in him a culture of human brotherhood, tolerance and openness towards others, in accordance with universal principles (meaning OIC's sharia declaration in the Arab version) and values and with those proclaimed in international human rights instruments.




Article 2


1. All forms of racism, Zionism and foreign occupation and domination constitute an impediment to human dignity and a major barrier to the exercise of the fundamental rights of peoples; all such practices must be condemned and efforts must be deployed for their elimination.

    

2. All peoples have the right to resist foreign occupation.




Article 3


Men and women are equal in respect of human dignity, rights and obligations within the framework of the positive discrimination established in favor of women by the Christian faith, and by applicable laws and legal instruments.

Article 5

    
The freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs or to perform religious observances, either alone or in community with others, shall be subject only to such limitations as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a tolerant society that respects human rights and freedoms for the protection of public safety, public order, public health or morals (alluding to OIC's sharia declaration in the Arab version) or the fundamental rights and freedoms of others.




Article 6

    

     1. The present Charter guarantees the right to information and to freedom of opinion and expression, as well as the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any medium, regardless of geographical boundaries.

Klevius judicial key (beginning and end of OIC's sharia declaration) to understanding texts produced by the islamofascist Arab League:  


Preamble: (OIC member states) agree to issue the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam that will serve as a general guidance for Member States in the Field of human rights.


ARTICLE 24:

All the rights and freedoms stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic Shari'ah.


ARTICLE 25:
The Islamic Shari'ah is the only source of reference for the explanation or clarification of any of the articles of this Declaration.

Criticism of the racist/sexist Arab charter


The Charter begins by affirming the universality and indivisibility of human rights, therefore putting an end finally to the continued questioning of universality of human rights by some Arab states. It recognizes the right to health, education, fair trial, and freedom from torture and ill-treatment, the independence of the judiciary, the right to liberty and security of person, and many other rights.

At the same time, the Charter does not prohibit cruel, inhuman, or degrading punishments, nor does it extend rights to non-citizens in many areas. It also allows for the imposition of restrictions on the exercise of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion far beyond international human rights law, which allows for restrictions only on the manifestations of a religion or belief, but not on the freedom to hold a religion or belief. Moreover, the Charter leaves many important rights to national legislation. For example, it allows for the imposition of the death penalty against children if national law allows it. It also leaves the regulation of rights and responsibilities of men and women in marriage and divorce to national law. Thus the Charter mirrors to a large degree the areas of acceptance and reservations regarding international human rights treaties by member states of the Arab League.



The Arab League wants an Arab islamic court based on the laughable racist/sexist Arab charter. However, critics want



...to amend the draft statute so as to provide for the possibility of individual victims to have direct recourse to the court. The very raison d'être of a regional human rights court is to ensure individuals access to justice and to guarantee their rights to effective remedies and to reparation for violations. By omitting not only this right, but also any means by which individuals can access the Arab Court, the current draft statue defeats the very purpose and objective of establishing this Court. We would remind member States of the promise made by the LAS itself and several of its members, since the start of the reform process of the LAS over the last few years, and particularly in the wake of the popular uprisings that erupted in several Middle East and North Africa countries in 2011, to establish an effective judicial mechanism that would protect individuals’ rights and freedoms in the LAS countries. Our organizations would firmly oppose the establishment of any court of human rights that does not provide for individual access to complain of violations.

Draft Article 19 of the Statute gives the right to access the Arab Court to any “State party when one of if its subjects claims that one of his [sic] human rights has been violated,” as well providing States parties with the option, at their discretion, of allowing non-governmental organizations to submit cases on behalf of individuals. Based on the decades of experience of existing regional human rights courts and UN human rights treaty bodies, States, for diplomatic and political reasons, virtually never make use of interstate complaints procedures. There is no reason to expect the situation would be any different with respect to the Arab Court. Nor should the possibility of NGOs bringing cases to the Court be at member States’ discretion. Draft Article 19 also allows for access to the Court by the Arab Human Rights Committee when it fails to reach an “amicable settlement in the case of an individual complaint”. However, this Committee, established under Article 48 of the Arab Charter on Human Rights, does not presently have any competence to consider individual complaints. The draft statute is silent as to how this competence will be extended.

Draft Article 19, to be at all effective, must therefore be amended to ensure that any person or group of persons or nongovernmental entities, directly or through their representations, may submit petitions to the Arab Court in cases of alleged violations of universally recognized human rights.

Other provisions of the draft statute, including those relating to the independence of the Court and its judges, the applicable law and jurisdiction of the Court, the admissibility of cases and the exhaustion of domestic remedies must also be amended to meet international human rights standards and serve as an effective means of access to justice.

The draft statute, elaborated by an expert legal committee of the LAS, was approved "in principle" by the LAS Summit in Kuwait in March 2014. The Summit’s decision, number 593, entrusted the expert committee to finalize the drafting of the statute and to refer it to the LAS Ministerial Council.

Our organizations have welcomed in principle efforts to establish an Arab Court of Human Rights. However, we strongly condemn the fact that both the LAS and the expert committee went about their drafting exercise without consulting with any civil society groups, despite their vast expertise in relevant issues, or any other stakeholders, despite several requests from civil society organizations to engage in the process. The entire process has been conducted behind closed doors and through opaque procedures that contravene basic principles of inclusive participation and transparency.

Until broad and meaningful consultations have taken place with national and global civil society organizations, national human rights institutions, members of the bar and judiciary, academic and independent experts and other interested stakeholders, including representatives of other regional human rights courts to benefit from the experience developed by these mechanisms, the LAS and its member States should refrain from referring this fundamentally flawed draft statute to the approval of the Ministerial Council.

It is the responsibility of the LAS and its members to act collectively and individually to ensure that the draft statue is amended and brought in line with international, including regional, human rights standards and practice.

Our organizations firmly believe that the following amendments are necessary if the draft statute is to serve as a basis for the establishment of a competent, independent and impartial Arab Court that provides for an effective remedy against human rights violations in the States parties. Among others:

i) The language of the draft statute, which currently uses the male pronoun exclusively, should be amended throughout so as to ensure that the statute is gender-inclusive;

ii) A provision should be added authorizing the Court to prescribe interim or provisional measures for the protection of petitioners in urgent cases where such measures are necessary to avoid irreparable harm to the victims of violations, and with which States parties must comply, as well as a provision to ensure protection measures for witnesses;

iii) Draft Article 3 should be amended to ensure that the decision to designate the host country is based on the commitment and compliance of the concerned State party with universal human rights law and standards, including through being party to all core international human rights instruments, and that the host country provides the necessary guarantees for the Court, including judges and staff, to operate in defence of human rights free from any undue interference, constraints or pressures. This should include guarantees for the protection of victims, their representatives, witnesses, and civil society associations from reprisal and restrictions;

iv) Draft Articles 6, 7, 8 and 15 should be amended or strengthened to ensure that: a) the nomination of candidates and election of judges is based on transparent and non-discriminatory procedures that protect against undue, inappropriate or unwarranted State interference, and that takes full account of appropriate personal and legal qualifications, gender balance, and a fair representation of different legal systems; b) the judges sit in their individual capacity, not as representatives of their home State, and serve for a single, lengthy term with a guaranteed pension; and c) the judges can only be suspended or removed from office for reasons of incapacity or behaviour that renders them unfit to discharge their duties, following an appropriate procedure, established in advance, and that guarantees the rights of the concerned judge to a fair hearing incorporating all due process guarantees;

v) Draft Article 16, which sets out the subject matter jurisdiction and applicable law of the Court, should be amended to ensure that in referring to the provisions of the Arab Charter, the Court at a minimum does not provide interpretations which conflict with States’ other obligations under international law and instead applies the most protective standard of human rights law that applies in the State concerned;

vi) Draft Article 18 is amended to ensure that the requirement of exhaustion of domestic remedies does not have the effect of preventing victims of human rights violations from accessing the Arab Court on spurious grounds, and that the Court is provided extensive discretion to decide on admissibility of cases, with a view to ensuring maximum protection of human rights; and

vii) Draft Article 19 on access to the Court is extensively amended to ensure that: a) all individuals within the territory of a State party, or subject to its jurisdiction, are entitled to have access to the Arab Court when they claim to be a victim of a violation, by any of the contracting parties, that falls under the jurisdiction of the Court; and that States do not hinder access to the Court, in particular by providing for the effective protection of victims and other participants in the proceedings and by ensuring that they are not subjected to any form of pressure or reprisals as a result of their participation in the proceedings before the court; b) all obstacles that may limit NGO access to the Court are removed, including the system by which States accept such access, and to this end, ensure that any NGO, not only those accredited in a respondent State, can bring a complaint before the Court; and c) other avenues to access the Court are provided, including for individuals or NGOs to join proceedings as interested parties or to submit amicus curiae briefs, third party interventions or expert opinions.

The undersigned national and global human rights organizations call on the LAS, and its member States to desist from immediate action on the draft statute and to extend the process before the draft statute is adopted in order to allow for appropriate and meaningful consultation with civil society organizations. The undersigned organizations affirm their willingness to engage in such consultation.
