July 30, 201312 yr http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23495314 Apparently, the most common reason for refusing to repatriate is because the Human Rights Act prevents us releasing them to their native countries. Clearly, I'm torn between pride in the rigour of the legal system, and horror that the HRA is directly denying justice to the people most affected by the crimes. As a meta-issue, I am increasingly concerned that international treaties of every stripe are a threat to national sovereignty and democracy. "It wasn't lies.

July 30, 201312 yr Walsie there is NO way they can link you to your past, so I wouldn't worry too much Never underestimate the effectiveness of plastic surgery my friend Edited July 30, 201312 yr by BruceVC "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

July 30, 201312 yr Wouldn't this be a thing for the ICC to be looking at for them to be taken to trial rather then a human rights issue on whether it would be right to send them back to the country of origin? "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
July 30, 201312 yr So, anyone wants to start a fund to pay for hitmen? Edited July 30, 201312 yr by Orogun01 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

July 30, 201312 yr Isn't this the very reason why the ICC was founded? Not really, before a person becomes a target of the ICC they have to found guilty primarily of genocide and serious human rights abuses. Not every criminal will qualify for this ignominious title so the ICC wouldn't get involved "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
