"Alles für das Leben?
GRUNDRECHTE: Klare Konsequenzen
von Bernd Posselt
Seit dem Ende totalitärer Regime wie Faschismus, Nationalsozialismus und Kommunismus wurden in Europa nicht ein einziges Mal die elementaren Grund- und Menschenrechte so sehr angetastet oder gar suspendiert wie derzeit. Wenn auch sachlich gerechtfertigt und im Rahmen demokratischer Rechtsstaatlichkeit limitiert, ist dieses Vorgehen unserer Regierungen ein beispiellos schwerer Eingriff in nahezu alles, was uns bislang heilig war: Freiheit, Religion, Eigentum, Familie und soziales Gefüge. Die einzige Legitimation dafür ist ein Recht, das allen anderen übergeordnet ist und auf dem alle anderen aufbauen, nämlich das Recht auf Leben und körperliche Unversehrtheit. Um dieses zu gewährleisten, sind unsere Staaten entstanden, unsere völkerrechtlich abgesicherten Rechts- und Friedensordnungen sowie die Europäische Union.
Wie kann es dann aber sein, daß wir ein so elementares naturrechtliches Prinzip seit Jahrzehnten zum Teil der Wegwerfgesellschaft gemacht haben? Ein typischer Materialistenspruch lautet, daß jeder Mensch ersetzbar sei. Das Gegenteil gilt! Jeder ist ein Ebenbild Gottes und von daher unersetzlich. Daraus zieht die katholische Soziallehre klare Konsequenzen, wenn sie sagt, daß die Wirtschaft für den Menschen da ist und nicht der Mensch für die Wirtschaft. Dasselbe gilt für den Staat: Er hat dem Menschen zu dienen und nicht umgekehrt. Beides ist vielfach in Vergessenheit geraten. Menschliches Leben, an sich unantastbar von der Zeugung bis zum natürlichen Tod, wurde immer mehr zur Disposition gestellt, vor allem, wenn es sich um ungeborene Kinder, um Alte, um Schwache oder um Behinderte gehandelt hat.

Derzeit spüren wir wieder ganz deutlich, wie kostbar das Leben ist - das unserer Lieben, unserer Umgebung und auch das eigene. Vielleicht gelingt es uns aber auch, das wieder zu entdecken, was Papst Johannes Paul II. und Mutter Teresa, die in den Slums von Kalkutta persönlich den dort grassierenden Seuchen entgegentrat, als "Kultur des Lebens" bezeichneten.

All (Everything) for Life?
Fundamental rights: clear consequences
by Bernd Posselt
------------------
Since the end of totalitarian regimes such as Fascism, National Socialism and Communism, fundamental Human Rights in Europe have not been affected or even suspended as much as they are at present. Even if justified objectively and limited within the framework of democratic rule of law, this action by our Governments is an unprecedented heavy intervention in almost everything that has been sacred to us so far: freedom, religion, property, family and social fabric.
The only legitimacy for this is a right which is superior to all others and on which everyone else builds, namely the right to Life and physical integrity. In order to ensure this, our States, our international legal and peace regulations and the European Union have been created.
How, then, can it be that we have made such an elementary principle of natural law, part of the discarded Society (of Disposal) for decades? A typical materialist is saying that every human being is replaceable.
The opposite is true! Everyone is an example of God and therefore irreplaceable. The Catholic social doctrine draws clear conclusions from this when it says that the economy is there for the people and not the man for the economy. The same applies to the state: it has to serve the people and not vice versa.
Both have often been forgotten. Human life, in itself untouchable from conception to natural death, has become increasingly available, especially when it comes to unborn children, the elderly, the weak or the disabled...
At this moment, we feel again very clearly how precious life is- that of our loved ones, our surroundings and also our own. But perhaps we will also rediscover what Pope John Paul II in the past, and Mother Teresa, who personally faced in the slums of Calcutta the Diseases that were raging there, have called "Culture of Life".

UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brownn's promise to French President Sarkozy that Great Britain will proceed to Lisbon Treaty's ratification was certainly fuelled further by MEPs' warning, meanwhile in Strasbourg, that all Enlargement stops until EU can have efficient Institutions for more than 27 member Countries.
EU Parliament's President, German MEP Hans Gert Poettering, formally announced this position, after consulting all Political Groups' Chairmen, Monday in Strasbourg, and most MEPs made the point crystal clear during Plenary Debates on Wednesday.
Thus, from Thursday, UK's House of Commons, at Westminster, gave its "Green Light" to Lisbon Treaty's ratification, which was completed later-on, after ovecoming some last minute attempts to block the process.
- In only 3 other Member Countries we feel some "hesitations" : Poland, Czech Republic and Cyprus", said, meanwhile, EU Chairman-in-office, Slovenian Foreign Minister, Dr. Dimitri Ruppel, speaking to EU Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee in Strasbourg, However, "I didn't hear any explicit refusal", he carefully added.
Rupel's fears were later bellied in Cyprus' case, where a wide majority of political parties confirmed their support to the EU Treaty, but fears were confirmed in Poland's case, while Czechs said they waited for their Constitutional Court to pronounce itself.
A paradox is that the Polish President Lech Kaczynski, who reportedly expressed concerns about Lisbon Treaty, had personally signed himself its blueprint, while, on the contrary, Cyprus' new President, Christofias, despite its own party's opposal, declared that he'll respect the signature of his precedessor, former President Tassos Papadopoulos, in favor of EU Treaty.
But, "all that noise is a misinterpretations by some Western Media : Poland will ratify the EU Treaty, and even earlier than some other Member Countries", declared to "EuroFora", in a surprisingly optimistic tone, the Polish Chairman of EU Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, Jacek Saryuswolski...
