Flagrant corruption at RAT has been exposed in open court, and criticized throughout the legal profession.<br /><br />(See Richard Nyembo v RAT & James Nicholson High Court #895-2004; and “Box 4: The Case of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal” in Justice Matters (2007 report by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties.) <br /><br /><br />The Superior Courts have done nothing to correct this, but allow cynical legalistic practices which let it go on and on: in cases concerning life or death, international war crimes and genocide.<br /> <br />This overburdening of the courts is a tactic by the Ministry for Justice (which, contrary to all fairness criteria, oversees the body which examines its own decisions.) <br /> <br />The resulting excessive caseload is frequently cited by judges as the reason that they don’t have time to give these questions of human life or death the anxious scrutiny which international human rights law requires. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Ministry is fundamentally unfit for any role in refugee matters:<br />The Ministry for Justice (that is, law enforcement / the police) is that branch of government which is most often the perpetrator in the human rights violations which have turned 17 million people into refugees worldwide. It is the only branch of government in Ireland which has been found culpable itself in such human rights violations. <br /> <br />The Ministry for Justice works closely with the CIA: an agency notorious for such crimes all over the world. <br /> <br />As many organizations and experts in refugee issues have decried: <br />The Ministry for Justice should have nothing to do with refugees. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br />Grace L<br />Plaintiff<br />Complaint of Unethical Misconduct in Judges of the Superior Courts.American Refugeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17583893695692771783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858640550223105210.post-77621132933836059702010-02-19T08:06:00.000-08:002010-02-19T08:07:22.988-08:00SUMMARY March 2010<meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
