Getting Moral Clarity Right

Manfred Nowak, a UN human rights official has urged the British government not to go ahead with plans to deport foreign Islamist radicals. Fortunately, there are some sane heads in the British government and the minister has told the UN to piss off that their focus is skewed..

“The human rights of those people who were blown up on the Tube [subway] in London on July 7 are, to be quite frank, more important than the human rights of the people who committed those acts… It is a balance, of course, and I acknowledge that there are real issues that have to be addressed, but I wish the UN would look at human rights in the round, rather than simply focusing all the time on the terrorist.*
Home Secretary Charles Clarke

Thank you.

On a side note, I wonder when was the last time Nowak criticized the human rights policy of North Korea, Burma, Venezuela, Russia, China, etc.?
