-Agha Shahi, a member of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, gave a forceful opinion on how the Convention applies online and how countries must criminalize hate speech online.
Agha Shahi is a Statest Pig (As are most UN memebers). Below is a list of who is on the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination: M J Yutzis *Argentina Hamzat Ahmadu *Nigeria Ivan Garvalov Bulgaria Andrew Chigovera *Zimbabwe Songu Shuhua *China Mahmoud Aboul-Nasr *Egypt Valencia Rodriguez Ecuador Michael P Banton *UK Shanti Sadiq Ali *India Carlos L Hevia *Cuba T Van Boven Netherlands Agha Shahi *Pakistan E Ferrero Costa Peru Ion Diaconu *Romania Michael E Sherifis Cyprus Regis de Gouttes France Yuri A Rechetov Russian Fed. Rudiger Wolfram *Germany * Countries that have not ratified Article 14 allowing complaints from their own citizens to the Committee. Members of the CERD Committee are elected by secret ballot from a list of persons nominated by countries which have ratified the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. NOTE: This information is a couple of years old so there may have been recent changes to the make-up of CERD. Would you really trust any of these countries on a "freedom of speech" issue? These are a bunch of statist pigs from irrelevant 3rd world countries wishing to subvert democracy and freedom through UN charters. Notice that most of these members woun't even be bothered with the pretence of listening to their own citizens. The UN is a plague on humanity. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
