I see you're adopting Mashy's tactics, post inflammatory crap and then refuse to back it up - that's not like you.
I did in fact google all sorts of combinations of the words “human rights” “New Zealand” “United Nations” etc..for little result.
So perhaps you’d care to put up, Mashy Junior?

These are comments and recommendations made by these outstanding practitioners of human rights:

Iran (Islamic Republic of) expressed concern over insufficient safeguards to protect
the rights of minorities from discrimination and marginalization, putting them at a higher
risk of torture and ill-treatment, and the continued high levels of violence against women,
particularly Māori, Pacific and minority women.


Libya welcomed the intention of the Government to introduce a new action plan for
human rights and encouraged consultations with all stakeholders. It noted the efforts and
the positive results of the Māori and the Pacifika in the field of employment, health,
education and administration of justice.

wow....

Just

wow

This isn't even the pot calling the kettle black...




this is like the festering cesspit into-which-humanities-cumalative-and-collective-waste-is-poured calling a surgical floor 'filthy' because of a few blood spots

[oldrider]

I'm sure some of you will have a lot to say about this ...

I am so insensed that I will probably vote National this year ... just to force him back into office to fix it up!

Looking around at the alternatives to Key's mob ... it's absolutely Hobsons choice this time!

You seem to be assuming that I take this seriously.

I thought I was just posting the pic as an inflammatory action - and then sit back and watch the fireworks.

(Well OK ... here's the draft 2014 report

Actually, it's the best laugh I've had for a while.

That's weird considering that Islamic countries tend to have the worst human rights record in the world. Try preaching Christianity over there and see what happens...

He does a good Derp face. Looks natural.

Wow UPR 13/14 jobs for the quango's, freeloading power mongers and their ilk. It's one of those wonderful reports where there is a "problem" and they think all governments should just jump, throw loads of resources at it in the hope of finding a solution, without regard to cost. As with all these things, there does not appear to be an objective yardstick to describe any of the rights that have been breached, such as poverty. Nor is their any recognition that in order to apply these rights, the rights and freedoms of others will be impinged upon, just because some organisation believes this is the way society should run.

I wonder how the report would have read without the Christchurch earthquake; or how other countries would have been measured with a backdrop of a disaster of such magnitude. Think about the anarchy, crime and rights abuses in the good old US of A around New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

I love the way that it blames the government for poor people having poor children, with violent men abusing their partners and children. Maybe John Key is responsible for all the poor children; it does say that 50% of sexual abuse is against European NZ women and 95% is against women 16-30 ...good child bearing age. No wonder John is smiling.
