Legal experts = mindless anarchists and activists.
Sorry, kiddies; a sovereign state can choose to do whatever it feels necessary for the continued safety of its citizens.
As you are about to find out!
Are the references to 'human rights law' and 'international law' binding? I realize they would be to certain 'justices' on our SC.
The concept is neither new nor complicated. The Turks, for instance see it quite clearly. The unruly can be dealt with in only one way:
"Everybody must know that the Turkish armed forces will not tolerate the use of the opportunities of democracy by the enemies of the system as a means to dynamite the basic principles of our state...”
retiring Chief of Staff General Huseyin Kivrikoglu, Turkey
It's not rocket science.
Really.
"a sovereign state can choose to do whatever it feels necessary"
(Formerly)Great Britain is not a sovereign state. As the article points out, anything they do is appealable to the International Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, and that court has the power to overturn British actions.
How about drop off OVER Cairo?
F International law. Sovereign nations have a right and a duty to its citizens to protect them from criminals. I wish sometimes that the old concept of Outlaw could be revised. Simply put being declared an outlaw meant not only were you a criminal but that you were also placed outside the law's protection. You became fair game. Goodbye trial by jury, goodbye protective custody, goodbye fear of vigilantes.
Yes it is harsh but these skanks have no respect for law until they can hide behind its coat tails. Vermin got no rights. Also moderate Muslims should be the loudest in supporting deportation for terrorists. As for claims of innocence. Great, prove it and we might let you back in.
Then try, convict, and execute him for sedition and treason.
Binding, in the sense of a citizen being punished if he breaks them?
It depends on whether the Brits made this human rights law they're talking about, the way our Congress makes laws, or it's just another lefty front.
Activists like to use the word "law" to describe activitites or opinions that are nothing of the sort to make them sound inviolable and weighty.
Similarly, there's no such thing as "international law". They may be strongly held convictions, or widely accepted custom, but not law.
They are not arms against mythical creatures!
44 seconds - our thoughts ran alike...;-)
You are correct, They use a county's own laws against them.
Then they laugh about it and how foolish that country is. These people who come to a country to avoid being killed in their own country.
You cant send a person back who may be killed in their own country,Bullship. If their own country wants them dead you have to wonder why.
They urge violence and a country has to stand by and watch it happen. Over the years lawyers have gotten away with interpreting the law their own way, The problem has been compounded by liberal judges , the two working in concert have destroyed Justice, and its time it was stopped. Hard.
Save them a phone call and throw the lawyers out with them!
Haven't we heard somewhere else where the "lawyers" prevented something else. (Able Danger)
I hope MI6 inhabits the other half!
I don't think our own country would have much success either. None of our judges seem to be on the same sheet of music about any of our laws.
The lawyers, ACLU and the Judges would have an appeal or other decision thwarting the government position before the ink was dry on the deportation order.
I agree about the 'international law'. It is like the 'international court' some of the lefties are trying to make important. Of course, you can tell how important it is to them by who they want brought before it. It is strictly alon ideological lines - and the right would lose every time.
How many Divisions does the International Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg have?
Sovereign States, just as individuals, cannot "sign away" fundamental rights.
None is as fundamental as its own continued existance.
