アメリカ政府に私物化されたアムネスティー

結局アメリカにおもねるだけの アムネスティー



おもねるだの尻拭いどころではない、アムネスティーそのものが米政府に乗っ取られた、と云うことらしい。我が将軍様や死神婆のやることがロコツ・なりふり構わずになって来ました;

"The new Executive Director of Amnesty International USA – Suzanne Nossel – is a recent U.S. government insider. So it’s a safe bet that AI’s decision to seize upon a topic that dovetailed with American foreign policy interests, “women’s rights in Afghanistan,” at the NATO Conference last month in Chicago came directly from her.

"We, the undersigned members, former members, and former staff, (中略) wish to express our vote of no confidence in the actions of our current Board and current Senior Management in approving the Strategic Plan and layoffs and we reject the Plan and layoffs. / We ask that an immediate moratorium be placed on the implementation of the Strategic Plan and the staff changes recently announced.

"We, the undersigned, protest Amnesty International USA's decision to portray NATO as defending women’s rights in Afghanistan. Amnesty and its members are in no way served by supporting U.S. foreign policy or NATO ambitions at the expense of the truth about how Afghan women and girls are faring after more than a decade of violent occupation. (中略) We call on Amnesty board members to call for Suzanne Nossel’s resignation; her loyalty to powerful government players can only be a hindrance to the true work and mission of Amnesty. / If this is not accomplished by July 31, 2012, we will be forced to publicly withdraw our future support from Amnesty's programs and campaigns until Amnesty USA removes Ms. Nossel from her position and retracts its laudatory statements concerning the U.S. and NATO presence benefiting women and human rights, and to urge others to do the same.

これでもまだアムネスティー本来の活動に期待している団体が少なくないと云うことか。アムネスティーの自浄機能が働かなければ、数ある米タカ派の一圧力団体に格下げされるでしょう、米欧でも。下品ですが儲かりまっせ。

(表向きだけにしろ) 人権擁護を標榜する団体が先頭立って戦争を推奨するってのは異様な光景。しかし米政府がやるならハナシは別、サマになりますね。
