European Union may ban deportation of terror suspects

May 16, 2016 3:26 pm By Robert Spencer

How many suicidal policies can Europe (and the U.S.) adopt while believing it will avoid the obvious negative consequences of those policies? “This will make it easier for foreign criminals to remain in Britain by arguing they might face ‘inhuman or degrading treatment’ overseas.” Since the UK has been so industrious in importing foreign criminals on its own, can it really mount any serious objection to this?

“EU may ban deporting terrorism suspects: Top Brussels court plans power grab over human rights cases,” by James Slack, Daily Mail, May 10, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Britain could be banned from extraditing terror suspects by the EU, in a new Brussels power grab.

One of the top legal advisers to the EU’s European Court of Justice said that – for the first time – its judges should be allowed to hear appeals from the likes of Abu Hamza if their human rights are being challenged.

The move would make it far harder to boot out crime suspects – and hugely undermine the Government’s commitment to end the human rights madness.

Former shadow home secretary David Davis said: ‘The argument that Europe is somehow improving our security is falling apart in the Government’s hands.’

The EU advocate general has been considering whether the ECJ should adopt powers to rule on extradition cases.

Every other member state submitted that the EU should have no legal powers in this field. But the UK raised no objection – and was even supportive of the latest power grab, according to papers released yesterday.

Advocate generals are the most senior legal advisers to the EU court, and their advice is normally accepted.

Once this happens, MPs say the Charter of Fundamental Rights will apply whenever third countries such as the US and Australia want to extradite EU citizens from the UK.

This will make it easier for foreign criminals to remain in Britain by arguing they might face ‘inhuman or degrading treatment’ overseas….

    Another reason why Britain should leave the EU.

      Yep.

      Yep certainly I know where my vote is going in June, LEAVE EU.

    Maybe I misunderstand but what is wrong with protecting the rights of suspects? We do not take action against a person on only a suspicion; That is what makes us different, among other things, from Islamic law. If it can be proved somone is waging war against us we should put him/her in a POW camp for the duration of the conflict.

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      Yes, but no leader of any nation in the West seems to be able to define what this war is about and who the enemy is. No country in the West has made any declaration of war of any kind. So how could a nation hold anyone as a prisoner of war when it has never declared war or even admitted to being in the midst of a war?

      Perhaps some good first steps to take would be to define the enemy, define objectives to be achieved by going to war, get the necessary support for fighting the war and then actually declare war upon the enemy. Oh, and one more thing ……. define what constitutes victory.

      The enemy has already done all of the above and provided us with a written declaration of war which includes what it considers to be victory …….. but we refuse to believe the Quran says any such thing.

      Suspects do have extensive legal rights, including rights to a full trial in Australia, the U.S. or other country where they are extradited.

      What Cameron and the other traitors in London and Brussels now want to do is to set up a regime of SPECIAL rights for Muslim terrorists whereby sympathizing, unelected “European” “judges” in Strasbourg will find reasons to allow the terrorists to keep their welfare-fed lives in the UK rather than answering for violent crimes.

        Yep, but Julian Assange will still extradited to Sweden as soon as he stepps out of the embassy.
        I can’t see them not wanting to extradite him.

          As for silly Sweden Assange is no rapist by comparison to Islamic rapists/jihadi’s/etc. Sunni & Shia should fight their own war and leave the rest of the world out of it. Nor should any of the west be responsible for so called moslem refugees. Christians and others yes but not Islamic.

        • Carolyne says

          May 17, 2016 at 10:44 am

          Assange is not a Muslim. He is not one of the protected class.

      “what is wrong with protecting the rights of suspects?…”

      The first problem is that the authority to deal with a suspect or terrorist is conceded to an international authority, rather than the country which is victimized by the terrorist. This is doing away with the sovereignty of a country. The fact is, when the general safety of the population is concerned, a government may decide to err on the side of safety. This is the prerogative of the country. The European Court of Justice will decide the fate of terrorists based on procedural, rather than substantive, issues. Which means, they don’t care if the population is at risk.

      The second problem is that they impose their own idea of cruel punishment. The US has the death penalty, which the EU considers to be a cruel punishment. Thus, they will block the extradition of any terrorist who faces the death penalty.

      What’s interesting is that the court asserts its power of review, and the Cameron government declines to appeal, right before the vote on whether Britain will leave the EU. This is either extremely stupid, or else they are so confident the election is rigged, they don’t care.

      They are helping themselves to our money, women and children with full co-operation of western governments, human rights judges and left wing liberals.

    Look, if the UK wants to leave the EU that’s their business. But could you guys at least not f*** things up for the rest of us?

      It seems to me that Westminster seems very rarely, if ever, to raise objections to diktats from our unelected, faceless, undemocratic masters in Brussels. The EUHRC has already blocked the deportation of muslim hate-preachers on human rights grounds. Another reason for voting OUT!!

    • RonaldB says

      May 17, 2016 at 10:16 am

      Truthfully, I don’t follow your point.

      • Angemon says

        May 17, 2016 at 7:45 pm

        If the UK leaves the EU and the measure their government supported is approved who will it affect?

    This is conjecture piled upon speculation.

    The European Court has no power to create new “European Laws”; it merely interprets existing European Law. In effect, it is the judicial advisory arm of the European Commission. It has no power to unilaterally extend its own powers, which I believe this story implies.THAT would require the intervention of the European Commission, and the European Parliament.

    The Daily Mail story itself points out that almost all of the members of the EU are hostile to this interpretation (bizzarely, the UK is one of the only ones that support it), so any hypothetical change to “EU Law” would be unlikely to be even proposed, let alone ratified.

    Relax. It’s just some beurocrat mouthing off. It isn’t going to happen.

      There is a new documentary out called “Brexit the Movie”. It is all about the EU and how they anonymously and covertly make new rules. I suggest you watch it.

    • Custos Custodum says

      The European court has since its inception created new powers for the entity (the EU) of which it is a department.

      In the U.S., the Supreme Court was effectively threatened and co-opted under FDR to “discover” a whole slew of areas where the federal government was mysteriously discovered to have jurisdiction, in the face of clear language to the contrary in the U.S. Constitution. For example, the all-knowing Feds can stop a farmer planting grains in his own backyard for his own consumption.

      • nic says

        May 17, 2016 at 4:59 pm

        They did ? Wow.

        Are you referring to the plant patenting act ? If so, that was a new law, passed by congress, and NOT some sleight-of-hand by the Supreme Court.

        Can you give me some examples of where the European Court has “created new powers” ?

    Canada does the same thing because that ass Trudeau said “a Canadian is a Canadian”. Since when do moslems pledge allegiance to any country. The only thing they follow is their putrid islamic book from hell. May all the Liberals rot along with these monsters.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/16/turkey-visa-deal-will-increase-risk-of-terrorist-attacks-eu-repo/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter This makes very interesting reading and confirms what British Patriots have been saying for years about the attempt to give Turkey entry to the EU
    Turkey should be expelled from NATO and quarantined as a pariah nation. The EU is heading for civil war as the people rise up against the lunacy being inflicted upon them by the corrupt traitorous filth running their nations

      I hope you are correct about the “People” rising up against the EU. But I fear that the European countries’ populations have been cowed by their leaders for so long, there is little possibility of that.

    Strange, we’ve been told only today that UK prisons are inhumane and among the worst in Europe. The answer is clear: deport them into the luxury prison suites of the rest of the EU, if we can’t send them all the way home.

    What, exactly, would the EU have to do before people demand their sovereignty? Good grief…
