The 10th of Dec 2011 will be Human Rights Day (SEE HERE). That day will mark a 63rd Anniversary of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights(SEE! HERE) which was sealed behind in 10th Dec 1948. Today, we would similar to to talk about this issue.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
Do we know, out of these 9 United Nations' treaties (above), Malaysia has sealed usually two of them: (5) The Convention upon a Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (Cedaw) as well as (7) The Convention upon a Rights of a Child (CRC). Malaysia has to date not sealed a other seven, which have been additionally really consequential if we wish to see a polite liberties protected.
It is apparent which a stream supervision does not wish to pointer a other 7 treaties. And a single some-more thing which a Malaysia Government does not seem to honour is The Universal! Declara tion of Human Rights (SEE HERE)
No doubt, whilst a 9 treaties have been legally enforceable (which is because Malaysia does no! t wish t o pointer them),The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is not legally binding but but is deliberate a dignified obligation.
The make a difference is explained in this article, Human rights: what's stopping Malaysia? (READ MORE HERE)
I suspect it is pointless to talk to Barisan Nasional about this issue. After all, Barisan Nasiona! l (and t he Alliance Party before that) has been in energy for some-more than 54 years as well as if they had longed for to do it afterwards they would have already done it by now.
What we would similar to to do instead is to ask Pakatan Rakyat about a mount upon this issue. What is Pakatan Rakyat's stand? Will it pointer a change 7 of these treaties if it were to come in to power?
Another subject would be per The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Will Pakatan Rakyat honour this Declaration as well?
Now, we need to know before a subsequent general election as well as BEFORE we confirm who to opinion for, is Pakatan Rakyat starting to pointer a change of these 7 treaties as well as is it additionally starting to honour The Universal Declaration of Human Rights? If not, afterwards because shou! ld we vo te for Pakatan Rakyat? What difference would Pakatan Rakyat be from Barisan Nasional?
We need to get this assurance from Anwar Ibrahim -- a Opposition Leader in Parliament as well as who Pakatan Rakyat has pronounced will be a Prime Minister if Pakatan Rakyat gets to form a subsequent federal government.
We do not wish to listen to Anwar Ibrahim's personal opinion, similar to what he pronounced about a Hudud matter. His personal opinion carries no weight in a intrigue of things. We wish to listen to from him as a Opposition Leader as well as a Prime Minister-in-waiting for Pakatan Rakyat.
This is really crucial. And we should not give Pakatan Rakyat a opinion if they can't give us a pledge which they will pointer all 9 of these treaties as well as honour The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. And if they have been not prepared to give us this guarantee, we wish to know why. And we wish to know why, now, before we go to a polls to! opinion a subsequent supervision in to power.
If we were to read a thirty Articles in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (SEE HERE) we will know because we am asking this as well as because we contend this make a difference is really crucial. And if we need to go by any Article one-by-one to explain to we in detail, afterwards maybe, as MCA said, we do not merit to vote.
