Human Right Violations: Why do German Courts not secure Human Rights
against
the "Jugendamt" falsely called Welfare Office? Sugestion to implement
recommandations of Human Rights Commissioner
The re****t of the Commissioner of Human Rights of the Council of Europe on
his visit to Germany October 2006 and suggests that German Human Rights
Institute should monitor human rights and the development of national
action
plan on human rights (Appendix E):
a.. Point 35. (...) With regard to legal studies at universities, the
Commissioner notes with regret that international human rights law appears
to be often taught as an optional part alone. He encourages the German
universities to integrate human rights in the core curricula of legal
studies. (...) The Commissioner also stresses the im****tance of training
judges and prosecutors working in courts at Länder and local levels on the
European Convention on Human Rights in order to strengthen its direct
national implementation. The Commissioner is aware of the involvement of
the
Federal Ministry of Justice in the development of the new Council of
Europe
Programme for Human Rights Education for Legal Professionals (HELP) and he
encourages German authorities to take an active part in its
implementation.
b.. Point 46: Extending the infrastructure of human rights education
would
further strengthen the integration of human rights into professional
career
tracks. The Commissioner encourages the incor****ation of human rights as a
core component in professional training in law enforcement, for teachers
as
well as practitioners in the social and health sectors. In addition,
government officials in general, as well as parliamentarians on federal
and
state levels, would benefit from human rights training adapted to their
area
of work.
c.. Recommandation 2. Consider the establishment of parliamentary human
rights committees at Länder level.
d.. Recommandation 3. Promote the independence of extrajudicial
complaints
bodies, when possible, and ensure that complaints are handled on the basis
of clear procedures.
e.. Recommandation 5. Strengthen the mandate of the German Institute for
Human Rights with regard to structural and factual monitoring and in
respect
to its consultative role in the process of drafting legislation with human
rights relevance.
f.. Recommandation 7. Consult, in a systematic and regular manner, civil
society organisations working in the field of human rights on legislation
and policies which impact human rights.
g.. Recommandation 9. Develop the national action plan on human rights
as
a co-ordinated process for the continuous improvement of human rights
protection in Germany by involving all stakeholders and setting out clear
policy aims and strategies on how to reach them.
I have suggested to implement these suggestions to German Federal Ministry
of Justice (Appendix 14), German Federal Parliament Bundestag (Appendix
15)
and parliament in the state Baden-Württemberg (16). However the experience
of writing petitions over the last 10 years (Appendix 13) shows that EU
has
to tell Germany to implement these improvements. Otherwise it will not
happen.
