A “paper tiger”

November 9, 2011 by Jennifer Derwey Leave a Comment

November 20th is Universal Children’s Day, an event created by the UN to mark the day that they adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. It reads,

Whereas the United Nations has, in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, proclaimed that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth therein, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status,

Whereas the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth, […]

Whereas mankind owes the child the best is has to give,

Austin Ruse has called the UN a “paper tiger”, stating that it only has the power people are willing to give it. Officially, the UN has adopted those aforementioned rights for children (they’re a beautiful thing to read actually). Unofficially, the UN Human Rights Commission has blatantly acted as if those rights and charters do not exist, imposing their own ideals in various publications, charters and frameworks. Over the past few years, they have aggressively campaigned to criticize and coerce countries (like Ireland) into upholding what they call the Benefits of Scientific Progress,

which obligates governments to ensure the availability of reproductive technologies such as modern contraceptives, access to safe abortion services…

On this November 20th, maybe it’s time UN Commissions were reminded of all the UN adopted rights they violate. You can contact the UN Human Rights Commission at [email protected]
