UN Human Rights report … what a contrast between Minister Munroe and Prime Minister Davis’ comments yesterday.

Forget not the most fundamental Right is Human Rights … Has the PLP forgotten what their cry — what their screaming was pre-1967?

Sorry, Prime Minister, if we are unwilling to uphold the most fundamental issue of Human Rights because of funding restraints then what does The Bahamas stand for in the world?

The recent UN report raised nothing new in fact probably were conservative we have had and we continue to abuse the accepted issues of IMO-Human Rights to which we all should shout shame.

Can the courts be speeded up and wait for trials minimised to months not years? Yes. Can’t we tidy up how we manage Carmichael Detention Centre? Yes. Basic stuff all migrants arriving on our shores are required by Human Rights Convention to be made aware of their Rights...Do we do that most simple act? Probably never that’s’ why the UN group was critical...deal with the small issues the rest will look after themselves, but never forget Human Rights is the most treasured issue.
