Politics and International Law exist
to regulate the relationship between countries and Non-Governmental
Organizations. In this context, to enable this interaction on the world
stage, the international community was organized through agreements and
treaties, in which obliges signatory countries and organizations, to
fulfill - both internally and externally - the principles and
international laws accepted collectively.
In this scenario, when the subject is the diplomatic relations between
countries, it is highlighted the following international agreements and
treaties: the Vienna Convention (I and II) and the American Convention
On Human Rights (Pact of San José, Costa Rica).
Concerning the diplomatic relations between countries, the most
important rule of the Vienna Convention is the one which conceptualizes
sovereignty, territory and representativeness of each signatory country
of the Agreement. In this part, it is defined (1) that the Embassies and
Consulates are foreign territories, even when embedded within another
country, (2) that each country is sovereign and subject exclusively to
the laws or decisions of its own Judiciary or Executive Power, except if
there is an international agreement or treaty electing common
application of the law.
Regarding the rights of the citizens from the signatory countries of the
international agreements and treaties, it is the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, which guarantees the fulfillment of the International
Human Rights to any individual, regardless of its nationality. Examples
of these: (1) the right to life, (2) the right to freedom, (3) the right
to Court Access, (4) the right to work, among others.
Now
ask yourself:
(1)
How come Brazilian Government,
by
its
Minister of Justice,
Mr. Tarso
Genro,
has been ordered by the
Government
of
Cuba, has denied
asylum and -
without
being
judged
by
a Court
- has
arrested
and
deported the
Cuban boxers
Guillermo
Rigondeaux
and
Erislandy
Lara,
simply because
they have
deserted
the
Cuban delegation
during
the
Pan American Games
in
Rio de Janeiro in
2007?;
(2)
How come the
Brazilian Government has
violated
the Treaty
of Vienna,
invading the territories
of
the Foreign Embassies
and
Consulates
based in
Brazil,
to impose them
the
Brazilian labor laws,
which
not even
in Brazil are
considered
fair?
Daily,
the Labor Court
has been trying,
with the support
of the Minister
of
Justice,
to impose a
foreign country,
its
incompetent jurisdiction.
This
attack
on the
Vienna Convention
has
been
sponsored
by
Labor
Judges,
who don’t have any expertise
in international law,
hardly knowing
that
deals
and contracts entered
into
foreign territory
are
not
subject
to the
Judiciary,
nor the Brazilian Government;
However, this
“modus
agendi”
is not repeated
in special cases,
such as listed below:
(1)
in the case
of the
Italian criminal
Cesare
Batisti, condemned
by the
Italian
Government
and
its Judiciary
for several
murders,
the
Brazilian
Government,
had not admitted
or
accepted such decision
as valid,
within
Brazil;
or
worse
(2)
in the
case of the Egyptian
criminal,
Mr.
Ahmed
Hesham
Mahmoud
Eltrabily
sentenced
in
Egypt
for
the murder
of
62
people
during
the
terrorist attack
that blew up
a
bus
of
tourists
who
visited
the ruins
of
Luxor
in
1977,
the
Brazilian Government
did not accept
the
decision of
the
Egyptian Government.
Contrary
to
the assertions of the
Brazilian
Labor Court,
it is said
that
the
decision of
another
country
is not
worth in
the Brazilian territory,
so
that
this terrorist,
now lives and
works
in
SP,
despite having
infringed
the
Right to
Life
of its
victims
protected
by the Universal
Declaration
of
Human Rights,
just as did
the
aforementioned
Italian.
We must
be alert,
because we have already
supported
Iran
in the
UN,
although
its
government
kills
adulterous women
and covers the others in
burqas,
and
now we are nearly
supporting
Libya,
which
perpetuates dictators,
just like
Cuba
the Venezuelan President
Hugo
Chavez.
If
things
continue like this,
the Brazilian Government,
the Judiciary,
and quite likely
its
people,
will soon be
known as
exporters
of
the Labor Court
"and"
Importers
of
Terrorists
