The UN human rights bodies’ double standard on Canada and China’s rights records

Now, the UN human rights committee is reviewing Canada’s human rights record. This is only a show, for both the UN and Canada.

The UN human rights bodies only selectively hear human rights complainants’ voice on political considerations. An example: while vigorously hearing the human rights complaints from the Chinese against China, these UN bodies turn away human rights complaints from the same Chinese against the Western countries like USA, Canada, etc. to cover up for these countries. I know at least 3 Chinese in US and Canada who brought human rights complaints to UN against the US and Canadian governments, but all of their complaints were turned a blank eye on by the UN.

My experience with UN probably is the most dramatic. In 2004, The Office of “High Commissioner for Human Rights” (HCHR) of UN, then headed by Louise Arbour, a former judge of Supreme Court of Canada, seized all the complaints I sent to UN’s various human rights bodies, and returned them to me, in violation of the UN’s human rights complaint procedures. I then brought a Complaint against this HCHR and the Secretary of the Human Rights Committee, Mr. Markus Schmidt to the President of UN General Assembly. But my Complaint was transferred back to the HCHR by Secretary of the President’s Office, Tony Gallagher of the USA, without consulting with any officials of the President’s Cabinet.

When I protested to the HCHR on grounds of conflict of interests, “Secretary” of the Human Rights Committee, Mr. Markus Schmidt called me and told me that he was “assigned” to my case by the HCHR, and “you don’t expect this Office will assist you”. Please see the letters that I wrote to the HCHR for details.

Obviously the UN’s human rights bodies are not accessible to people like me, whose human rights complaints are against the Western powers and who do not belong to a politically powerful and active ethnic groups such as the African Americans. This should change. As anyone has human rights, and is entitled to be heard at international human rights bodies.

One Response to “The UN human rights bodies’ double standard on Canada and China’s rights records”

  1. wanxialiao Says:

    My human rights story in Canada that the UN refused to hear: I, as a graduate student at U of Toronto, exercised my free speech to disagree with a White professor, David Waterhouse’ theory – beauty is a European concept, Asians did not have it in history, and complained against his retaliation fraud. The Ontario human rights commission officer Alan Strojin, a White professor of UC Berkeley, James Cahill, etc. and the whole justice system conspired to criminalize me by coercing me into testifying to the Commission and then charging me for my testimony for “threatening Waterhouse”. A judge convicted me on his admitted “guessing” that I “meant” to threaten Waterhouse in my mind. Now I’m like a walking dead, expelled from employment, from the society, even from volunteer work, because of my “criminal record”.
