   “He admitted it was his – but tried to play it off. He said he was doing research on how to better make sure kids’ rights were not abused,” a police source said. “Yeah, sure. It’s always research.”

   Maybe it’s me, but, don’t you find that police source just a tad cynical?

   It’s nice to know you’re so disgusted by the facts of the story of a pedophile with an office at the UN who happens to be president of the International Center for Law in Development and not trying to nit pick on weather or not he a UN official. Come to think of it I did not see where it was stated that he was a UN official. You’re such a tool.

    *sigh* lgm — Why don’t you bother to do a little research before opening your mouth?

    Dr. Clarence J. Dias assisted the drafting group that produced the 1986 UN Declaration on the Right to Development and was a consultant at the Global Consultation on the Right to Development, convened by the UN Human Rights Centre in 1989. He served as consultant to various UN agencies including UNDP, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, UNICEF and ILO and to various bilateral development agencies including those of Canada, Sweden, the Netherlands, Australia and the United Kingdom.

    He was a resource person at the informal experts workshop on Human Rights in Development Assistance, convened by the Development Advisory Committee of OECD in Paris in 1996 and was Chair of the Meeting of Experts on Economic Social and Cultural Rights, convened by the UN Human Rights Centre. For a six-year period (1996 to 2001) Dr. Clarence J. Dias was the UN expert from the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights at the annual Asia-Pacific Intergovernmental Workshop on Regional Human Rights Arrangements. He was the primary author of UNDP’s policy on Integrating Human Rights with Sustainable Human Development (adopted in 1997) and thereafter, undertook responsibility for the human rights component in five UNDP regional workshops for Resident Representatives on the human rights policy of UNDP. He has organized UNDP workshops for the Parliaments of Swaziland and of Cambodia.

    Back to you!

    Again, you’re still arguing semantics and trying to take the attention off the REAL story which apparently is either a) not surprising to you or b) you just really don’t give a damn, and this clown signing a petition saying the US committed war crimes in IRAQ certainly holds no water now, being that he has ZERO moral authority at this point.

    Actually, his petition holds no water because it’s false. The moral (lack of) character of the petitioner has no impact on the truth of a statement none way or the other.

    A couple of years ago, my wife and I visited relatives in Canada (a beautiful, but borderline socialist, country).

    Anyway, it was right around the time when the UN had declared Canada as the “Number one nation in the world to live in” — because of all it’s warm and smarmy “social justice” programs, and its “diversity” (isn’t it wonderful how all the obssessors of that word never indicate diversity of what?).

    Anyway, my instinct was to ask our relatives how they could ever live down such an “accolade”, but they were too busy trying to figure a way to emigrate to the US (legally, of course; such a bizarre concept), so they could earn more money and pay less taxes.

    This link is from an official UN online periodical with one of his articles … at the bottom of the page is a picture and biographical info on Clarence Dias which states the following:

    Clarence J. Dias is President of the International Center for Law in Development. He holds doctoral degrees in law from Bombay University and Cornell University and has taught at Boston College of Law School. An expert on the right to development with considerable public interest experience, Dr. Dias is presently consultant to the UN Development Programme on implementation of its policy of integrating human rights with sustainable human development.
