Why is the UN not taking action against the USA?

Question

David Hicks is a young Australian who has been kept in solitary confinemnt for 5 years (with the lights on 24hours a day) by the USA. He has not been charged. I do not believe anything he did was (at the time) agains the law. So the USA have now changed the law so they can charge him. David was taken capture in Afganistan like many young men from around the world he thought he was "doing the right thing". Since his capture all British prisoners have been sent home. Why not David? Is it because the UK PM is Bushes "yes man" or is it that the Australian governement has made no effort to do what they are supposed to do....ensure its citizens human rights. At the end of WW1 & 2 prisoners where sent home except the "big boys" who where charged stood trial etc. Not David Hicks it is against international law to hold a man for 5 years without charge then deliberatly change the law so they can now charge him. That is like us using this site. 5 years time a law is passed and we are all charged!

Answer 1

You need to check with the Aussie government. captives are sent home all the time when arrangements can be made with the home countries of those being held. maybe Australia doesn't want him back. I know i wouldn't.
Also the UN is impotent when comes to enforcement they are just a bunch of liberal haters

Answer 2

i'm afraid that the Jews will are available in "kissing" the UN hand that so meticulously were "spitting" on all of those years. The have managed to educate each democratic and loose lively human being of our planet adverse to their race. Anti semitism has reached some Byzantine proportions for the duration of our era. Their vanity and blind fanaticism have grew to grow to be the blessed holy land of Palestine in a tumorous area that must be disinfected the soonest conceivable. So i imagine the UN is a few type of a "wellbeing care specialist" which will be able to deliver the remedy in that section. Greetings

Answer 3

Whatever the USA under the leadership of Mr. George Bush has been doing on a political & international level is not always correct & good , I think so. Besides the UN will generally not take action against USA because they are on the same side. That's why the US govt. can do and think they can do anything which is right or wrong. I mean they think they are the 'leaders' of the world...the only superpower in the present world situation. Perhaps the majority of UN is funded by the US, I guess.

Answer 4

The U.N is an impotent entity. They have shown for years they are not willing to act but more than willing to talk. Talk is cheap when people are dying. Besides the U.N. has no authority over the United States. One can only pray the new leader of the U.N. will have a backbone and won't be fraudulent and crooked as was the previous administration.

Answer 5

WHAT the UN will never act against the US. The US is a permanent member of the security council meaning that is has veto power over all of the decisions made. Not to mention in general the US has so much more political power than all other nations no one to be able to force the US to do anything it isn't already willing to do

Answer 6

As far as I'm concerned, if he was fighting for the Taliban or Al Qaeda, he can rot in prison for the rest of his worthless existence.

Answer 7

What does it matter if you "do not believe anything he did" was against the law? You are not important and nor do you merit knowledge on classified information.

Answer 8

I wonder why David was not shot like terrorists all should be.

Answer 9

The UN can only bark, they aint got no teeth to bite.

Answer 10
