Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedsdomstol er en skandale

Man tror ikke sine egne øjne:

How can they tell us how to run our country? Seven of eleven sitting at Europe’s human rights court deciding fate of hate preacher Qatada have never been judges

• Many ECHR judges are academics who have been parachuted into the role
• Youngest judge was given job when she was just 33 and has no experience as a senior judge

By Richard Hartley-Parkinson | 19 April 2012

Seven out of eleven of the top judges at the European Court of Human Rights have little or no judicial experience, it has been revealed. Despite this, they have great power over the UK and in recent times have given prisoners the right to vote and were instrumental in the blocking of the deportation of hate preacher Abu Qatada. They will now preside over a second case after Qatada lodged another appeal against his deportation to Jordan.

Even the ECHR’s president, British lawyer Nicolas Bratza has never actually held a senior judicial position and his experience was limited to a brief stint as a crown court recorder.

Country of Concern: Turkey Suppressing Christian Worship

By Gary Lane

On April 18, 2007, three Christians were bound to their chairs, tortured, and stabbed repeatedly at a Bible print shop in Malatya — their throats slit.

Five years have now passed since the Malatya murders, an incident that was perhaps the most tragic and brutal murder of Christians in modern-day Turkey.

Video: Roger Scruton om konservativ miljø-tænkning

Der er ikke meget nyt i denne Scruton-video, men jeg var lige i humør til lidt Scruton her i formiddag:

Roger Scruton – The Importance of Locality

Roger Scruton (philosopher, author of more than 30 books, including works of criticism, political theory and aesthetics, novels and short stories) opened the event with a discussion of the importance of locality and local loyalties in motivating English society. From Wildlife Trust Seminar – Winners and Losers: thinking seriously about Wildlife Conservation in the UK today at Churchill College, Cambridge on 28th March 2012.

Interviewet her stammer egentlig fra The Wall Street Journal, men skal læses hos AEI fordi WSJ har låst det inde:

Roger Scruton: Want to Save the Planet? Turn Right

Roger Scruton, Britain’s foremost conservative philosopher, offers a traditionalist manifesto to discomfit both the left and American free-marketeers. .

By Ramond Zhong – April 13, 2012 – Brinkworth, England

Environmentalists might think they’ve scored an unlikely ally in Roger Scruton, arguably Britain’s most famous philosopher—and a proud conservative. But Mr. Scruton’s case for environmentalism is classically conservative, centered on the love of home, the importance of local institutions, and especially the suspicion of state power.

With “How to Think Seriously About the Planet” (out next month in the U.S.), Mr. Scruton casts his lot with environmentalism but not with the contemporary environmentalist movement. The book is something of a cry in the wilderness, keeping wary distance from all sides of the current political debate. “It’s an attempt,” as he puts it, “to say, ‘Look, wake up, here is what it’s all about really.’”

Mere HER hos AEI. Og lige et par gode citater:

“Conservatism, Mr. Scruton wrote, had been “betrayed by the free marketeers” and misunderstood by almost everyone on the left and right”

“And there’s always some sense on the left that power is in the wrong hands”
Roger Scruton
