The Family tried to use the UN charter to counter-attack in 1994

Posted by Researcher on November 30, 2002 at 23:46:18

My contacts in the UN told me about how the Family tried to use the UN charter on Human Rights against authorities in Spain in 1994. After investigations and reviews, their case was thrown out.

My contact says that with so much testimony from many exmembers and SG's now, the UN charter could prove to be the most effective way to shut down any continuing cross-border illegal activity for good. According to my source, even retroactive testimony will do, i.e., even if the Family claims to have cleaned up its act, there is enough testimony about what happened in the past (and present) to arrive at the conclusion that the Family is destroying the basic family unit and depriving members and even relatives of their human rights.

I do not wish to see anymore drastic action such as having children taken away from their parents in sweeping raids. But I would like to see the restoration of human dignity; reparations for past and present abuses; the cessation of financing activities for leadership at the expense of the poor rank & file members; the return of access to children by parents who have a legal right; the international awareness that the Family practices skipping from country to country with kidnapped children; the Family's lies and secrets to be exposed to the world.
