The Australian Child Rights Taskforce’s Post

What about the rights of over 100 hostages including men, women and children who were abducted on October 7 and still being held in terror dungeons under the earth’s crust, tortured, raped and starved in Gaza terror tunnels but not visited by a single International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC representative in over 420 days? What about the rights of Israeli children and families who have been displaced from their homes by tens of thousands of missiles being fired by Hamas and Hezbollah at them into Israel yet no humanitarian assistance offered by UNICEF or The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) workers? What about the 1200+ civilians barbarically murdered, raped, mutilated and the 5000 +injured on October 7 by barbaric terrorists including employees of your own UNRWA you stated and I quote “did not occur in a vacuum”? There is one underlying common theme with the above: all the victims of these atrocities and human rights abuses are jewish or Israeli. So are you sayimg Mr Secretary General that there are humans rights for all except if you are jewish or Israeli? António Guterres stop the hypocrisy and double standards. If you truly do believe in human rights, resign immediately.

This Human Rights Day, we say the big words, No need to act, just follow the herd. Say "Laws are ignored", but which ones, again? Don’t say too much, the vagueness is part of the plan. "Authoritarianism’s on the rise", who’s behind it? a bird? a plane? Women’s rights are slipping—we don't know where, what a shame. The “Pact for the Future”? another empty debt, A place to pour money, but no outcome to expect.  So This Human Rights day, let’s stand for.. ermmm.. RIGHTS! Just say the big words, and then crawl out of sight

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights continues to be the world's best kept secret. For 76 years it has been hidden by governments and barely brought out and dusted off by the UN. The UDHR remains the best blueprint we have to establish a civil society, but if governments refuse to respect and defend their citizen's inalienable rights, we will never make progress. Why isn't there a global reading of the Declaration? At least 4 times a year the UN should organize global readings of the document...if people don't know it, it is like the proverbial tree in the woods...no one even knows that it fell. With such a tool at our fingertips, it is governments greatest failure that we are not building upon its foundation, using it to benchmark laws, making it part of all our constitutions, and more. We can be the change we want to see in the world, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the place to start. Read it today at home, at work, wherever you are. Here it is:

Your message on Human Rights Day reminds us that human rights must be respected everywhere. In Afghanistan, women and minorities are still deprived of their most basic rights, while the international community remains disappointingly silent in the face of these blatant human rights violations. If no serious action is taken from this point forward, this silence will effectively endorse injustice and neglect our collective human responsibility. Perhaps it is time to move beyond human rights rhetoric and take meaningful, effective action.

Before Genocide Claims One More Life…Before It’s Too Late If one more child in Gaza must die, you must act— not with words, but with the courage you’ve lacked. To stop the flames, to end the pain, to show the world it’s not in vain. Buy no time, waste no breath, a child waits between life and death. Write their names on your scrolls of shame, but not as victims—don’t play that game. Let them be proof of what you could save, lives redeemed, not silent graves. If one more child in Gaza must fall, you must rise, to face the truth, to open your eyes. What justice means, you still can show— Before it’s too late, before hope lets go.

A DIVINE WARNING TO THE NATIONS #UNGA : Thus says the Lord God Almighty THE MOST HIGH: "I AM the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the Sovereign Lord over all nations and peoples. I see the deeds of humanity, and I weigh them in My scales of righteousness and truth. Behold, you declare human rights, yet you trample upon My laws. You speak of justice, yet your hands are stained with inequity and oppression. You exalt equality with your lips, yet in your hearts is pride and rebellion against My holy commands. Woe to those who twist truth into lies, who call evil good and good evil! You raise banners of peace while sowing seeds of discord. You say, 'Let us uphold the dignity of all people,' yet you neglect the widow, the orphan, and the stranger in your midst. Do you think that I, the Lord, do not see? Be assured, I am the God of justice, and I will repay each according to their works. Turn back from your wicked ways and seek Me with your whole heart! For the time is near when My judgment will visit the Earth. Nations, repent of your pride and idolatry! ...

Palestine (and hence the naming of it’s population) is semantics but I believe the Romans renamed Judea as Syria Palestina in the 2nd Century. The name(s) people use to refer to themselves changes over time matters rather less than the ethics by which they govern. Agreed the ethnic makeup of the region post crusades (until when Jews were essentially excluded) was diverse. The short & mostly violent British mandate period refers to Palestine. Ceding territory to people who had recently arrived en-masse from Europe was indeed not acceptable to the local population. Ukraine is having similar issues at present with regions with a high ethnic Russian population. Some Arabs did become Israeli citizens but the door was closed on the rest as this would end Israel as a “Jewish” state so neccitating the depopulation of the West Bank and Gaza if it is to achieve the Zionist ambition for only a sovereign Jewish state between the river Jordan to the Mediterranean (& and incorporated into the Likud charter of the current Israeli prime minister. Taking responsibility for each others needs and basic human rights as equals not viewing everything as a zero sum game and refusing to share is the way forward in a moral state.

🌴Important from world data, Future risks must be worked on today TO reduce future risks and must prepare today, for example; World Bank and IMF data IN SOME COUNTRIES [Future risks] if you can't manage finances and efficiency then there will be inflation, stagnation [the economy in society is not moving], policies that are detrimental to the people and can reduce competitiveness, and from WORLD DATA Future risks can be minimized, this is for the good of all of us, I speak based on data

Great that someone with values has this leadership role, but a pity that the nations that gave him in that role and its associated responsibilities fail to give him the powers needed to fulfill it, refuse to follow his leadership and routinely allow narrow self interests to trump the basic values that he espouses when they or their “friends” are clearly in breach. No enforcement (or even active obstruction and victim blaming), shamelessly protecting the interests of powerful nations & individuals is the da facto international order at present. Fortunately there are people who will stand up against the lawlessness despite the personal cost including journalists who allow some transparency but may be killed doing so. It is for the rest of us to oppose tyranny in the hope of a better future for all.
