Tone in Papua New Guinea

[freddie*rooster]

Did you see him parading past the assembled New Guinea people, he looked like he forgot to take the coat hanger out of his coat, or was it his protective body armour?

It looks like he won't be visiting them

In fact he has just backed the PNG Government to ensure that the UN inquiry into the Manus Island deaths is shut down.

So that's the real reason he was there, to silence the truth being exposed.

 INAM, would that be the  same august body that some years back  achieved this advance in human rights oversight?

Libya was elected today by secret ballot to head the top United Nations human rights panel  The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights,

Human rights in Libya have made progressive improvments [particularly since they became involved with the UN) notably in the areas of eduacation, health and economy. Considering they had a despot running the country who made sport of murdering any political opponents, they had a voice on the UN and still do.

Regardless of Libya (or any other questionable country) being on UN panels, the Manus Island refugees deserve an independent inquiry into what occurred and what needs to be dne in the future to prevent it.
