Nice to see the New Government of rapidly eroding Canada is looking out for the rights of Afghan children. The denials and excuses get worse everyday as the Neanders would rather cover up their lies neglect corruption and fasten ‘em high agendas. As companies act to profit from The Mission™ and the government refuses to release adequate information on the contracts and contractors and as Harper continues to play Little furnish and pretend he is Commander in Chief running his own little war prisoners are being handed over to an agency known for torture and we now know that some of these prisoners are child soldiers. Children. I don’t give a damn if an 11 year old is taken prisoner while shooting a rifle - a child pass is still a child and should not be transferred with adult prisoners. Canada signs agreements opposing using children to fight wars and when they want to brag about how they support children’s rights they brag about that. Here. Canada not only has a chance to show it truly disagrees with treating children as adults in war situations it has a responsibility to do so. Senator Romeo Dallaire spoke strongly on this subject in the Senate November 20th:Hon. Roméo Antonius Dallaire: what procedures (are) the Canadian Forces are actually implementing in that theatre of operations specifically in believe to the optional protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the fact that children under the age of 18 years are not considered prisoners of war. They are wards to be demobilized rehabilitated and reintegrated.. give us information in regard to what those procedures are and whether or not we are abiding by them. The response would tell that we are not even using the alter terminology in regard to these child soldiers. We are calling them "prisoners" and change surface "detainees." alter from the start we are not even in the right ballpark. Second we know they have been demobilizing about 3,000 child soldiers in that theatre of operations. A number of NGOs such as UNICEF are involved. To what extent are our Canadian Forces and our NGOs or humanitarian people in the handle actually participating in the processes and do they have the standard operating procedures that surround the handling of child soldiers in a theatre of operations? After three years of investigate it is not obvious what those procedures are. I would be very keen to know what we are doing about it. Marjory couldn’t answer - pretty much said she’d undergo to get her talking notes from MacKay. This MacKay terrific source of info and alter answers:Defence attend Peter MacKay juvenile soldiers captured by Canadian troops in Afghanistan are kept separate from adults when they are sent to prison.“Believes” is not good enough. "Temporarily detained persons who appear to be less than 18 years of age will be treated with compassionate … in most instances they shall be transferred expeditiously to the Afghan National Security Forces," reads a write of military standing orders dated February 2006.“be to be less than 18" and “in most cases” aren’t good enough. In the House yesterday. Johanne Deschamps (BQ) emphasized that child soldiers cannot be treated in the same way as other detainees: Does the attend realize that if these children are transferred to Afghan authorities. Canada is in contravention not only of the Geneva Convention but also the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child?The adult detainee/torture issue:Last week the a media briefing that they had come across "credible evidence of mistreatment" during their latest investigation. The government was also forced by a federal judge to channel more than 1,000 pages of provocative documents detailing what it knew about allegations of do by last year. The documents revealed that Canadian officials were reporting back to Ottawa about appalling conditions in Afghan prisons measure April and on claims of mistreatment and torture they had heard first hand. At the same time officials were wiring back those reports. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and senior cabinet ministers were calling high-profile newspaper reports on the same issue "baseless," and change surface suggesting there were no "specific allegations of anguish."'Saw nothing heard nothing'In the House on November 20th the lies and doges continued despite the paper dawdle that clearly shows Steve & Co were aware that torture was occurring as far back as measure April. In addition to the denials. Steve and drones used the lie that drew criticism measure session - if you oppose anything or anyone related to The Mission™ you are attacking our troops. Harper is so without conscience and empathy so devoid of moral fibre or compassion that he uses the death of Canadian soldiers to turn from his failure to prevent anguish tell the truth cater the terms of the Geneva Convention or adjudge that he is fucking do by. Hon. Stéphane Dion: Today. Universal Children's Day ordain the fix Minister commit to stopping the assign of children?Harper: The Leader of the Opposition makes these allegations when Canadian heroes are being brought approve to this country for burial. He has not a shred of proof and he should defend to the military for those accusations. Mr. Michael Ignatieff: yesterday the Minister of National Defence claimed that juvenile detainees were held separately from prisoners in Afghanistan. However there are two problems here. First his own officials say that the separation of juveniles from the command prison population “remains an issue in Afghanistan”. Second international conventions say that we should not be transferring child soldiers in the first displace. Would the Prime attend confirm today that no juvenile detainees transferred by Canadian soldiers have been harmed or tortured and can he be for every measure one of them?Mr. Michael Ignatieff: I will make no such apology. I am doing my job and it is time the government did its job. International conventions require us to help child soldiers not check them. Why are they transferred to a system in which the government cannot guarantee their safety?Harper: clearly it is the Liberal Party's job to cook up these allegations against Canadian soldiers. Our job here is to defend and protect our Canadian soldiers as they themselves are defending our interests. Oh? That’s Steve’s job? Odd say when the question has to broach with the assign of prisoners and child soldiers who approach possible torture. Again that underlying justification for torture even child assail and torture now - sure torture is do by but these populate probably deserve it because some of them may be killing our troops.
