Quote:United Nations Declaration[edit]
After the end of hostilities in World War II, the United Nations was established on October 24, 1945. The new international organization recognized the importance of freedom of movement through documents such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966). Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the U.N. General Assembly, reads,
(1) Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State.
(2) Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.
Article 12 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights incorporates this right into treaty law:
(1) Everyone lawfully within the territory of a State shall, within that territory, have the right to liberty of movement and freedom to choose his residence.
(2) Everyone shall be free to leave any country, including his own.
(3) The above-mentioned rights shall not be subject to any restrictions except those provided by law, are necessary to protect national security, public order (ordre public), public health or morals or the rights and freedoms of others, [such as the right to be free from burglary] and are consistent with the other rights recognized in the present Covenant.
(4) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter his own country.
The ICCPR entered into force for the initial ratifying states on 23 March 1976, and for additional states following their ratification. In 1999, the U.N. Human Rights Committee, which is charged with interpreting the treaty, issued its guidelines for Article 12 of the ICCPR in its "General Comment No. 27: Freedom of Movement".
OK, C. I. Let 's pretend that the UN is more than a joke
and seriously address your posted material.
WHERE do we find therein that Zimmy cannot
follow decedent,
or anyone Zimmy deems to be "up to no good"????????
Does it say there that Zimmy loses his
freedom of speech
if he follows the bad guy?? I don't see that there.
The material that u posted is fully consistent
with Zimmy 's conduct on the night in question.
He did
not prevent Martin from moving
(before Martin began beating his head on the street).
He merely asked him what he was doing there.
That 's perfectly moral, legal and honorable.
In order for the material that u posted to justify your position,
it must show that Zimmy had no right to follow him (as u allege),
nor to speak to him; it does neither.
