This one was interesting for our earlier discussions:
Article 11
(1) Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed
innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he
has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence.
So by blaiming bin Laden f�r the attacks one would violate the human
rights, so you forgot that the US breaks this one Sam.
BTW: One could argue that 20 (2) is violated in Sweden since I need to
belong to the student organization to get my test results back, but that's
very far fetched and it was the closest I could get to finding one. I
wasn't aware that the US broke so many of them. Well, some of the 23-26 I
was aware of but not so many.
