Can a UN Secretary General who deals with wars and genocide be seriously
expected to raise WA + NT mandatory sentencing (and admit he did it)?
What about human rights abuses affecting thousands more victims elsewhere?
Has any journalist asked if Kofi Annan raised concern about the Prime
Minister's assurance that Australia is "not accountable to the world" for
its human rights record?
The UN has its proper mechanisms to deal with issues such as m s, like the
Human Rights Committee which in July this year will consider Australia's
record since 1987.
I suggest today's Canberra Times editorial for what this debate is really
about.
