An admirable guy, trying to get the best out of using the established resources to improve on justice. <br />Then realizing that being conscionable is to be incompatible. <br /><br />He resigned from his job in SIAC (Special Immigration Appeals Commission). <br /><br />While acknowledging that the SIAC construction "the least objectionable way of protecting both those appealing against deportation and the sources of information" he resigns over clearly play. <br /><br />As he write in his readworthy Guardian article in 2004:<br /><br /><i>"Indefinite imprisonment without trial breaches article 5 of the European convention on human rights, so the government declared a national emergency enabling it to suspend the application of article 5. A "state of emergency" is defined as one "threatening the life of the nation" and "an exceptional situation of crisis or emergency which affects the whole population and constitutes a threat to the organised life of the community" But clearly no such situation exists in Britain; no other European country has taken this extreme step.<br /><br />Thus Siac helps administer arrangements that are surely unacceptable in a democracy, contrary to British traditions of justice, and in breach of our obligations.</i><br /><br />https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/mar/16/law.september11<br /><br />Justice is easily bent if that is the intention, like with the Cadder provision.SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272238187226269250noreply@blogger.com
