Cambridge University: Does the European Court of Human Rights dictate climate policy?

The bad news is that this court indeed requires state governments to combat climate change, the greatest scam of our time! No matter how deferential this decision may have been as this assistant professor points out several times.

This decision is a travesty of justice!

Climate justice: Top European Court of Human Rights condemns Switzerland in landmark ruling. Really! A grave travesty of justice!

This is very serious stuff!

More travesty of justice in the name of the greatest scam of our time: The Global Warming hoax and Climate Change!

I am afraid we are reaching a new low regarding this greatest scam! Yesterday, I blogged here that the highest court of India also just came out in favor of climate justice! This is a serious turn for the worse!

This court and the Indian Supreme Court set a terrible precedent!

This judicial compromise stinks to heaven! These justices tried to have it both ways by declaring a climate justice right, but denying victim status in this case! An awful decision!

"Europe's top rights court ruled on Tuesday, April 9, that Switzerland was not doing enough to tackle climate change, in its first such ruling on the responsibility of states in curbing global warming. ..."

"The ECHR has delivered Grand Chamber rulings in three climate change cases.

The case Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v. Switzerland concerned a complaint by four women and a Swiss association, Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz, whose members are concerned about the consequences of global warming on their living conditions and health. They consider that the Swiss authorities are not taking sufficient action to mitigate the effects of climate change. The Court found that the Convention encompasses a right to effective protection by the State authorities from the serious adverse effects of climate change on lives, health, well-being and quality of life. However, it held that the four individual applicants did not fulfil the victim-status criteria under Article 34 of the Convention and declared their complaints inadmissible. ..."

Climate justice: Top European rights court condemns Switzerland in landmark ruling The European Court of Human Rights ruled on 3 cases filed by European citizens accusing countries of not doing enough to prevent climate change, rejecting two cases yet siding with one against Switzerland.

Home Schooling Is Prohibited In Germany

Posted: 3/5/2014  Updated: 1/16/2019

Update Of 1/16/2016

Just read The German Government Forcibly Removed These Children From Their Parents Over Homeschooling (dated 1/14/2019). A comment written by Robert Clarke, lead counsel in the case of Wunderlich v. Germany.

A very regrettable travesty in the annals of European jurisprudence! A week ago, the “European Court of Human Rights ... sided with Germany, reaffirming that Germany’s ban on homeschooling does not violate the family’s rights under international law … The German rationale is to prevent “parallel societies” from emerging. Lawyers representing the state presented this rationale to the European court without any evidence to support it as a theory.

We presented evidence to the contrary, showing that in countries with the longest history with homeschooling and the highest number of homeschoolers, the practice is tested, credible, and continues to grow.” (emphasis added)

Original/Revised Post

Trigger

I just read “The German Home-School Refugees Can Stay”. It is about a German family (the Romeikes) with many children who applied for asylum in the U.S. because homeschooling is prohibited by law and by the supreme court of Germany. The family is now allowed to permanently stay in the U.S.

Lady Liberty Is Smiling For Once

Given that the Statue of Liberty is inconsolably weeping since it was build, this is refreshing news for her.

Parents Ought To Decide Where And How Their Children Are Educated

In principle, it should be left to the parents to decide where they think their children will receive the best education whether it is private, public, or home schooling.

Any parents who decide to homeschool their children are to be commended for their efforts.

In Germany, the highest court of the land (Bundesverfassungsgericht) has decided against parents of homeschooling in favor of mandatory public schooling. What a miscarriage of justice! What an insult to liberty!
