Suggestions for Improvement of Amnesty International

I also cite ""glory" to Amnesty International on giving voice to Poverty in Guatemala and Pollution in Nigeria although ILO and Greenpeace could have been with us on these two! I also note, as a small remark that the two "cases haven't been brought to the Courts!"

I could have made a list like this, please, improve on these points if they are not already in place.
They concern policies regarding drugs and drug-addicts. The list includes support for public injection rooms and the, of course, right to housing and so on... Usually not considered the most important, but this point has been added for more than one reason, both of them in a sense GOOD!
(This is also notified in my "Objection to Rawls" on the basis of the "politicised" situation of poor people edging to being criminalised people by the State, incredible enough, for Heaven's sake! But so and so... triumphing point: YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND!)

This is in line with the call for Amnesty International to return to the courts and more traditional approaches to legal work. So if we/they are to approach poverty in Guatemala again we/they contact International Labour Organisation and make campaigning alongside them for Guatemalans to get organised under ILO and at the same time, enable the opposition, the employers to get organised, thus establishing traditional two-party negotiations, in fact, founding the society as such on a "capitalistic"/mixed economy note on how fast they can or will develop and how much "blood" they are to pay for it, that is, are forced by "Western Standards" to sell themselves cheaply or can we/they alter these relations of business/power to something better!
I know this suggestion (with ILO) breaks with US American traditions of non-organisation union-wise, but I think they can sit on their stubbornness and sob in their overweight while the World progresses! I see no other alternative to organisation and paranoia really needs to be laid aside to the advantage of better personal preparedness and so on...

I can make one on pollution in Nigeria as well, mentioning engineering groups (IEEE, JPEG), environmental group of the sane kind, not some hysteria, and lastly some respects to the country's poverty, giving the oil-industry an environment certification of its own department, if the engineering group fails to come up with an internationally recognised standard of the affordable kind, perhaps in a kind of two-tier, developed and developing run/progress (of society and industry)!

  1. I've earlier criticised Amn. Int. for being "dogmatically" against the Death Penalty. My objection is that Europe today runs too deep "in blood" to have this "angelic" attitude. We need to get out of our well-fed citizen slumber. There are murderers out there who are hideous beyond words, and why they run free? No, the society is in a SERIOUS condition and I think we need to get _real_ about society again and reinstate the Death Penalty, perhaps even HARDER than the U. S. Americans! (People should have access on a more common level to who these people are and mature adults with a good stomach /can/ (awful book) read American Psycho, this NOT being fiction. I fear we have a subculture of death running *loose*, and this isn't about anyone either! People are being COERCED well beyond the HUMAN RIGHTS which were supposed to be the *heart* of Amn. Int. Get real, please!)

  2. Social awareness campaigns by posters/"marketing" are suggested for GUNS under "lieu" of Article 3 of UN Decl. of Human Rights (possible gun deaths by 2 sec. by suitable size of bullet to the head, but NOT grievous torture instances lasting days and weeks! Heck, even the bottle drawn kids (with that /detached/ voice (of Erich Hess quality) dying at 10, _usually_, not having known... much else than pains and degradation under very disturbed and sinister people! NoW! Where are these "personalities"? Not behind bars or under strict programs, I assume! As we rather, proudly, cite "low "populations" of criminals in prisons! "How rude! How can they imprison criminals like that?" Have we gotten it upside-down??? Do you mind, please?!
    (Another point to make is for some people, or fewer, to lay down that _decent_ (if not the perfect) record of Amnesty's work and also highlight the holes in contrast to this work, given the FACTS! There is a history to tell, and certainly one on archiving routines and how much "introduction" people have been given on torture and "methods of capital punishment" (fx. by grounded-3 ways-plain-home-electrical chair execution)! I also like to note the lack of enduring data from this list of core commitment, in particular by the nature of what one finds in "academic (and long-lasting) _programs_", with of course, the same standard of data-record persistence!)
    PS: I write this under a hope that this impels a better future, with such FORCE that this possible future becomes impossible to break away from, if not anything better than exactly this!

  3. Criticism of Amnesty Int. is now suspected to have pierced through! They have been naughty and I expect disciplinary corrections from now on, that is, an end to cowboy-culture and "flashin' lawyer credits and /agents/ (saving humanity everyday by symbolism)"! Alright? The work that remains now for the historians is piecemeal and "dinner is prepared"!!! "Go, go, go!"

    I'm sorry that I've notified this twice to Amnesty Int., but the two postings are hopefully and tastefully enough placed and pardoned! Cheers!

  4. Over the brain: the eyes have an anatomical similarity to the ears, so the "snail-houses" of the ears deep inside the head are the same for the eyes, that the cords from the eye-apples end up in similar "snail-houses". I think or I accuse the med. doctors have kept this fact away from the public for a reason and that they have and have had dubious motivations for doing so, furthering the "Dachau-grade" tortureous experiments of the Nazis into the modernity!!!
    Mind a relevant fact also of these "adopted E.T. people" with brownishly sick bodies, hunger-struck bellies, crippled short feet, surgically extended necks (for wanting pains to end) and Dr. Schwein-grade altered heads (all, incl. brain and bone structures alike). I JUST SAY IT: THE ETHICAL DUTIES (OF THE HARDEST KINDS) ARE CLEAR!!! GET TO IT AND GET IT DONE!!!
    (And tape-streamers too into people from 1984!!!)

    You know the quote from "Se7en": [Loosely, And people are so dumb] they need the hard blow with a bat to get their strict attention!

    I'm warning you!!! (From my Facebook profile, Leonardo F. Olsnes-Lea, moments ago.)

  5. Further note also, as the "experts" have lost their "walking sights", I encourage the Amnesty International to be transformed to broad people's movements as soon as possible, on a decentralised basis, picking up on cases as they like!!!

  6. Over Amnesty again (and deficient Europe): Warning, warning: Slippery Slope Argument over the people who get abused (1) and people who get tortured (2)! This formulation over a slippery slope argument can have dire consequences to who we are and what society we live in. If we are to accept this beyond universality for all people, we risk losing the sights of our own societies because we accept torture and abuse on our human brothers and sisters. This can sneak in if the reports from the legal bodies aren't correct or if the media delivers fake reports, not telling the truth, because if the lies pervade, we fail to sanction the violations "against humanity" and all of a sudden we can find ourselves standing to the neck in it, because we haven't paid respect, because we haven't been aware enough, we haven't bothered to guard our human brothers and sisters, all humans on Earth considered, we do not stand the vigil, we're not vigilant. The next that follows is this:
    Now, what is it going to be? Amnesty, *now*, has this fine list*, "supporting" people all over the World... But last time I've checked, I've gotten "no, we do not investigate single cases!" as if I ever asked for investigation (from the Norwegian branch of them) at all! But alright, perhaps they feel good from the words only!!! Half-Slobo can inform you "weiter"!
    *reference: http://amnesty.org/en/​who-we-are/faq#is-ai-effective .
    We expect Amnesty Int. to live up to this and that reporting obtains likewise!

  7. I happen to believe that Amnesty isn't living up to its words and that work and matters in general can improve a great deal, in particular and especially for Europe, issues over UN Decl HR Article 3!

  8. I note that for the Amnesty International's Report of 2011, no references are supplied and I'm uncertain of which reporting standards it fulfills. This may be serious and should be reviewed by Amnesty itself, given all the modern possibilities for system and systematic inquiries in _defeating_ injustice and _protecting_ human rights!
    Europe (as home to Amnesty) has vast reporting opportunities while poor and disorganised countries and regions have severe difficulties in supplying reports or material to this end. This last group probably requires the most efforts and working hours as well!
    The solution is, of course, to improve reporting routines (as with manufacturing plants and probably under some ISO standard too, 9001(?)) and make sure that progress with the reporting takes place also so that the Amnesty's annual reports can "brag" (as in "we're advancing and removal of most problems are envisioned") about some kind of completeness somewhere into the future.
    *Description is incredibly important in order to remove a problem. If the problem goes undescribed, you end up *not* knowing what or where to "attack"!

  9. With others, now, I suspect I'm entitled to demand that the entire Amnesty International Norway by its lawyers/barristers leave the Norwegian Bar Association and leave the organisation also for *betraying*, directly, their commitment to Human Rights (whether the ECHR or UNHR) and general legal system duties in their own country! Not only this, but in doing so, they have ridiculed Amnesty International as name and nullified its original intention to strengthen the Human Rights everywhere, also in its own country, Norway! Goodbye!

    (Perhaps the countryside by their own "Red Khmer"?)

    To Amnesty International "Norge", directly: Tunisia, ja, "like", ja, her er sannheten: With others, now, I suspect I'm entitled to demand that the entire Amnesty International Norway by its lawyers/barristers leave the Norwegian Bar Association and leave the organisation also for *betraying*, directly, their commitment to Human Rights (whether the ECHR or UNHR) and general legal system duties in their own country! Not only this, but in doing so, they have ridiculed Amnesty International as name and nullified its original intention to strengthen the Human Rights everywhere, also in its ..."

    Yes, I sit here and realise I write about broken business conventions, then it strikes me! What am I excusing Amnesty International "Norge" for??? No, f*ck them! And I have, please read above! Good riddance to (monkey-bizzin') idiots!!!

  10. A very serious message to Amnesty International:
    We note today the levels of torture and obstruction to justice under the watch of Amnesty International (and HRW) in Europe, as I am a European citizen.
    There is now a Class Action Lawsuit available on the internet that Amnesty International may have been able to use in the past, but for "strange reasons" they have failed to do this. Doing this will probably save very many people from situations of torture and corruption, but this is to my knowledge still unresolved, blame further to the legal senses of Amnesty International.

    Also to amend this situation, it is uttermost important that means for personal protection become widely available in Europe and I suggest this to be a top priority in order for Amnesty International to remain a serious organisation.

    That I think, along with very many fellow European citizens, that police corruption is a very serious obstacle toward creating a desired Europe of peace, democracy and freedom. There will be no way for Amnesty to deny the police corruption in Europe as they also d*mn well know about it and that they may also work out a report on exactly police corruption and damaging it really it to Europe as a United Europe, indeed, a European Union!

    For this judgment, I lie down my (suggestion) for establishing the Human Being of Law and the idea for the "100 % Society".

    This corroborates my claim that Amnesty Int. needs to be backed by the "labour movement"-type of movement, a broad engagement by the public in order to fight for general rights throughout the legal systems! That corruption and other crime exist in the legal systems to those unacceptable degrees!

  11. It should say: "We note today the levels of torture and obstruction to justice, in particular the suicidal, but perhaps other people too, "who touch the police toe", people under domestic violence and drug abuse, under the watch of Amnesty International (and HRW) in Europe, as I am a European citizen."

    Finally: That a degree doesn't mean so much! That a corrupt mind twists itself more violently up to the doors of representation and presentation of person, also under police corruption.
    We need to work this out together and meet, respectfully, under some "arbitration idea", that Alcatraz has thought us the place of petty criminals, not Jack the Ripper.

  12. Fully fixated on phonetics rather than actual word, I've entered "thought" instead of "taught". I'm sorry. Corr.: "...Alcatraz has taught us the place of petty criminals, not Jack the Ripper."

  13. I also find the lack of force in Amnesty Int. deficient to the extent that I rate, crudely and swiftly, the efforts to be only 20% out of maximum power that they should be able to wage World-wide, given the premises of name, authority, funds, Nobel Peace Prize, trust, recognition and impact/access to media publishing! That is *20 %*, twenty percent.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Fx. instead of relying solely on the annual report, I suggest hereby all 194/197 project pages for all state-domains in the World, given the status in UN. Such that the member-organizations can readily enter both qualified, legal information and unqualified plain member information to every legal worry in the World, also poverty and oil-spills.

  15. The Problem Numbers that Obstruct the "100 % Society"

    The numbers for the legal systems to watch, for the legal system journalism.

    Under the idea of "100 % Society", there are some key problem numbers. These are:
    - the homicides
    - the disappearances
    - the suicides

    These 3 statistics are reported on, in Norway, by the following: the police, Special Investgation Unit - KRIPOS, the official office for statistics in Norway - SSB

    In addition, given a number of corrupt doctors, it may be worthwhile to keep an eye on the deaths on medical grounds as matters of being "fixed"/"medical anomalies". This number should have an eye to it as well. (I leave a "code" notice to this as well.)

    Then we have the black numbers: the tourist deaths, (unregistered) immigrants, people who have come to a given legal domain "without telling so", that they are there beyond the legal notices to this aspect ("living in a basement or on a heap of trash", whatever).

    Warning! All of these numbers may hold the most disgusting torture /in them/ and should have keen eyes to them and that this message goes out, as usual, to the responsible parts of the World, to the people who seek to establish the best society.

  16. For the Annual Report of 2013, Amnesty Int.

    A star to Amnesty Int., London, for
    "United against injustice, we work together for human rights!"
    I smile with this as well "This report covers the period January to December 2012", that is, the full year, not a day exempted.

    At the same time, I'm dismayed by how Norway gets this small note (p. 199/228) from Amnesty over only half-a-PDF-page and some. There are some very gruesome facts about this country and one over the rest of Europe too, fx. the possible/likely existence of human meat/skin shops, and how fear/terror is a consideration for people before stepping outside one's own door.

    I've expected, at least, some broader and more realistic criticism containing the likelihood of "some people living under extreme pressure/conditions". Even though, the asylum-seeker children are rightly mentioned as a serious concern, it can easily be said that some adoption kids are not living as they should either. At this, we haven't even mentioned the faking of information to mothers and children alike over true parents by the "Medical Birth Registry", Bergen. There are many serious offences taking place in Norway and Amnesty, by description, is nowhere near it! 2013 AIR out!

    End remark: on Norway again, the 2 Masks of Sanity, suggests also an insanity in the square power because of the wording by "a person with two faces".

  17. The Case over the Death Sentence ->

    That I cite the disagreement over the opposition to the death sentence for "non-principal" and that this has a specific reasoning.

    Apart:
    I also dispute that the UDHR article 3 or some, "The right to life" defends against the death penalty because the UDHR doesn't cover punishment for criminals (who truly deserve it).

    A signal for approval of "carnivore mentalities" as the normative to society is no good either, rewarding the murderers with "extended life" and "possible jail-breaks (with a blind eye or not" while of course, the victim gets DEATH and the relatives (of a good person) loose an important person in their lives, with deep griefs to go, the beloved forever gone from their lives.

    Still, though, all matters regarded, according to Article 3 of UDHR, Amnesty Int. has the explicit duty to see the (European) populations armed with personal weaponry in light of highly criminal Europe, rife crime throughout Europe, even down to risking our "humanistic" fine line of peace (defeating Hitler, negotiating peace with Gandhi, other humanistic goals such as peace itself, under EU)!

  18. Let's start with the 3 old targets:
    * The human rights
    * Abolition of Slavery / Abolition of Economic Exploitation
    * Stop the Torture
    So I suggest a replacement of the old, 4th one, with The Right to Die with Dignity, instead of the failure to understand crime by Abolition of the Death Sentence.
    This makes a new 4 pt. list:
    * The Human Rights (UDHR/ECHR)
    * Abolition of Slavery / Abolition of Economic Exploitation
    * Stop the Torture
    * The Right to Die with Dignity

    McCarthyism 2.0, under Joseph McCarthy, (with ZERO, not the oh in Web 2.0 for crime-net): not estrangement from humanity by human rights and democracy emphasis and not any (part.) estrangement from the means of production either because, as the proof goes, human rights have in FACT effectuated the HES requirement to working environment under International Labour Organisation, ILO, the Nobel Laureate of the Peace Prize.

    (Please, check the list yourself. No such worker rights heard of in Soviet Union/Communism days, also under Pavlov's Dogs and Asimov's Androids.)

    (That Blogger has evidently removed from my blog.)

  19. Warning! I think it's safe to say that Amnesty International has been misreporting, deliberately or not, the Human Rights (ECHR) situation in Europe for many years if not decades!

    (At least I suspect that a great number of people with thoughts of committing suicide have been trying to contact Amnesty [their country] for (deeply needed) help!)

    At least for Norway then: "Menneskerettigheter Norge" then they can "safely" be Amnesty International "Human Rights ABROAD"!

    So how can I say it? How to punish Amnesty International for this? Fraud? Neglect? Conspiracy to crime? Persecution? I really don't know yet!

    Keep hoping! Keep up the good work! Cheers!
