*Strasbourg/CoE/Angelo Marcopolo/- Relying to "Eurofora"s Questions on a CoE's Draft Report which Denounces as "War Crime" the Replacement of Population in an Occupied Territory, (as f.ex. in Cyprus, etc), UNO's Special Rapporteur on Internally Displaced People (IDPs), Cecilia Jimenez-Damary, stressed, also on this regard, the particular Importance of the Human Right of Refugees/Displaced People for a Free Return to - and/or Restitution of, or fair Compensation for their Family Homes/Properties and - their Ancestral Land :

UNO's Rapporteur, who was this Afternoon the Key-Note Speaker in a Well-Attended, Exceptional Meeting of CoE Parliamentary Assembly's (PACE) Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons,

had "just arrived" to Strasbourg from "Country Visits" on the spot at "Libya and Nigeria", as she told us, and was Earlier this Morning received by the new President of CoE's Assembly, Michele Nicoletti, from Italy, while she is due to Speak mainly at a subsequent PACE's Plenary Session Debate, later Tomorrow Afternoon, (as well as on a Specific "Side Event", organized earlier that same day by PACE's Rapporteur on IDPs, ChristianDemocrat/EPP MEP Killion Munyama from Poland, (See Infra).

 - "The Challenge is to try to Recover the (Human) Right to the Property or to Compensation for IDPs", underlined Jimenez-Damary, in this regard.

 - "And, I think that it's a Very Important Right !", she stressed.

- Both "Of course, under the European Convention of Human Rights".

+ "But also Under the International Treaties, as well", added further UNO's Rapporteur.

++ This could, obviously, also Facilitate the "Return" of Displaced Persons Back to their Homes and Ancestral Land, as "Most Governments Want", and, dans certain cases, Refugeed/Displaced Persons also Wish themselfs, (f.ex. in Cyprus' Territories Occupied by Turkey's Army, etc), but are Hindered.

- Mainly Because of "Population Replacement" by an Occupying Country : Something which had been practiced "a lot" onlly in a Remote Past : - "Generations ago, Centuries ago", but Nowadays "it has Become a War Crime", according to the International Criminal Court's Statute, as a relevant CoE's Report (Drafted by Polish ChristianDemocrat MEP Killion Munyama, and due to be Debated+Voted Tomorrow, Wednesday Afternoon, in Strasbourg), clearly points out :

Indeed, the Draft Resolution which accompagnies it, clearly stresses from the outset (§2) that "under the Statute of the International Court, it constitutes a War Crime, for an Occupying Power, to Transfer ... parts of its own civilian Population into the Territory it occupies, and to Deport of transfer, all or parts of the Population of the Occupied Territory, within or Outside this Territory". I.e. precisely what Turkey has notoriously done in the Northern Territories of Cyprus, that Ankara controls with its Invasion/Occupation Army since 1974, where Turkish Colons imported from Anatolia have Replaced the Greek Cypriot Refugees/IDPs who used to live there from Ancient Times, Obiged to Flee the Turkish Military Invasion, and still Hindered, until Now, to Return Back to ther Family Homes and Ancestral Land, despite many ECHR's Judgements Condemning Turkey for such Massive Violations of Human Rights...

 - "This shows the Development of International Law, in order to Overcome that Problem", stressed UNO's Rapporteur for Displaced Persons.

- "I don't want to go into the Comparison Game" with the Past, about the Number of existing Problems.

-  But, at least, what is clear is that, "Right Now, Because of the Development of Legal Standards, there is More Awareness of what Needs to be done", she pointed out.

=> In consequence, "I think that we should Try to Take Advantage of this Positive Development on International Legal Norms... We should Use the Law, wherever we can", UNO's competent Rapporteur on Displaced Persons advised.

- In Fact, "Europe is now full of such (Human Rights-related) International Legal Frameworks !", observed UNO's Rapporteur, who is a Lawyer from Philippines, but works mainly at nearby Geneva.

+ "Again, let's Hope that they (Legal Treaties on Human Rights) are Implemented properly ! ", Jimenez-Darmary put the Finger precisely at a "Burning" point, with a Smile...

=> Lauphing Critically, at "Eurofora"s reminder of the Fact that, even here in Strasbourg, at Europe's Core, ECHR's "Legal" Judgements' Implementation depends from the Supervision of CoE's top "Political" Body : its Committee of Ministers, UNO's Rapporteur on IDPs said that - "I Hope we will Not have to Wait ECHR's Judgements' Execution for Ever"...

>>>Because, as a matter of Principle, ECHR's "Judgements are supposed to be Executed !", Jimenez-Damary stressed in conclusion.
Symbolically, while saying that, UNO's competent Rapporteur was Looking, through a Huge Window of CoE's Palace, straight ahead to ECHR's initial, Historic, "classic" Building, and to its New, Current and much Bigger, Modern Building, located one after the other, all along a Line in Front of her Eyes... (See relevant original PHOTO).       
 
+ In Addition, Jimenez-Damary told "Eurofora" that she Knew about Professor Pinheiro's World-Famous UN-Backed "Principles", and found them "very Good", (mainly on "Restitution" of Refugees/IDPs' Homes and/or Properties, on which We had Reported already as Early as Since a 1st Pinheiro's Draft Report at Nearby Geneva, initially at "TCWeekly", "MPAgency", etc until their Final, Special Edition in a Book Published and Backed by CoE's Secretary General, UNO's High Commissioner for Human Rights, and UNO's High Commissioner for Refugees : See, f.ex. ..., etc).

---------------------

- However, already in the Oldest Case of ECHR's case-law on Refugees/Displaced People's Human Rights to their Family Homes and/or Private Properties : that of EU Member Country Cyprus, CoE's current Rapporteur on the "Humanitarian Needs and (Human) Rights of internally Displaced Persons in Europe", Christian-Democrat/EPP MEP Killion Munyama, speaking earlier Today to "Eurofora", told us that he "Knew" these cases of Massive and Continuing Violations of Human Rights, for which, his Report notes that they Affect around "228.000 - 232.000" People, (i.e., notoriously about 20% of that Country's Total Population !).

- And COE's Rapporteur made it clear that he also Knew that these Massively Displaced Persons' Rights' Denial, (mainly Greek Cypriots obliged to Flee the Turkish Military Invasion/Occupation of 1974, and, since then, still Hindered by Ankara's Troops to Return Back to their Family Homes/Private Properties and Ancestral Land, despite several UN SC Resolutions and ECHR's Judgements Condemning Turkey for Violating their Human Rights), has already durated more than 43 Years (1974-2018), i.e. "Since 1974", as he told "Eurofora".
 
coe_rapporteur_on_idps_in_europeagg_eurofora_400 

>>> His Report, clearly Denounces the Fact that "the ECHR has Dealt with Applications by Cypriot IDPs Since the Landmark Judgement in the Case of "Loizidou v. Turkey" of 1998", (in fact, already since 1996 = ECHR's Judgement on the Substance of this case, the Latter, Follow-up Judgement concerning only the Financial Compensation for Non-Execution of the Initial ECHR's Judgement). And it also adds, pertinently, the more Recent Fact that "in its Judgement "Cyprus v. Turkey" .. of 12 May 2014, ... (I.e. + 8 Years Later-on) the Court (still) Found a Violation because of the Turkish Authority's Complicity in Unlawful Sale or Exploitation of Greek Cypriot Homes and Property in the Northern Part of Cyprus", controled by Turkey's Army, (See § 55 of that Report).

=> Obviously, as long as the Impunity of Turkey still remains, as far as it concerns its blatant Denial of ECHR's landmark Judgement in "Loizidou" case of 1996/1998, (followed also by that of the InterState Application in "Cyprus v.  Turkey"'s affair : Hearing = 1994, Judgement = 2001), related to Ankara's Military Invasion/Occupation of 1974, it was Inevitable for the CoE to Start having also Too Many Other Cases of such Massive Violations of Human Rights Afterwards : f.ex., in the Kurdish Issue, inside Turkey (1984-2018); on the Nagorno-Karabah Conflict (since the 1990s+), in Bosnia-Herzegovina ( 2000+), Georgia (2008) and Ukraine (2014), etc., as COE's Rapporteur notes in his Paper's Conclusion, also on § 33.

- But, Cusiously, in the Draft Resolution which accompagnies his Draft Report, Munyama doesN't say Anything Critical at all for Turkey's blatant Contempt to ECHR's Judgements concerning Greek Cypriot Displaced Persons, (Page 33) ! On the Contrary, that Report even goes on to Boast about a so-called ..."Important Progress (sic !)
made in the Humanitarian situation of IDPs in Cyprus" !...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
 

=> Will, an Amendment eventually Tabled to be Voted Tomorrow Afternoon, at CoE's Parliamentary Assembly's Penary Session, Rectify such a Blatant Contradiction Between CoE's Rapporteur's Findings and that Draft Resolution's Claims on that "Hot" Point, which are an obvious Blunder ?_

Or will it remain, perhaps, as such a grossly Negative Mark as that which was left by a Turkey's Official from the "Disaster and Emergency Management Authority" (AFAD) of Ankara, (another Invitee of that PACE's Committee), who, astonishingly, did Not even Reply (sic !)

Shortly Afterwards, outside of the CoE, this Same Day for the Anniversary of the "Armenian Genocide", the Tireless President of Strasbourg's Alsace Region's Armenian Friendship Association, Pierre Zouloumian, surrounded with a Team of Young People that he organized, was just Concluding his Annual Speech to that Popular Ceremonial Meeting at the Republic's Square, handing a Copy of a "Press File" to "Eurofora", (by a coincidence, under a Huge Tree reportedly stemming from the Seed of Japanese Roots which had succeeded to Survive, Underground, at Nagashaki-Hiroshima even the 1st Nuclear Bomb Explosion)...

Nearby, the Armenian Ambassador/Permanent Representative to the CoE, Parnyr Hovhannisyan, speaking to "Eurofora", feels necessary to Timely Link the Human Values standing behind the World-Wide Condemnation of the 1st Genocide of the 20th Century AC, (in fact a Massive and Brutal Attempt to "Replace" an entire Historic Population by Forcibly Displacing it towards the Syrian Desert), with the Recent Aggressions of Deadly Islamist Terrorists notoriously helped by Turkey in Syria and Iraq against, precisely, a few stll remaining Armenian Survivants in some Villages there, but also against Yazidi People, Kurds, Christian Minorities, etc.

--------------------
But who, amidst CoE, EU and/or UNO will Urgently Help to at least alleviate the current Plight of about "200.000" Civilian People (130.000 already in a "Camp"), reportedly Displaced from their Family Homes, Properties and Ancestral Land, at the Syrian Kurdish Canton of Afrin, recently Invaded and Occupied by the Turkish Military escorted by some Radicalized Islamist Armed Gangs (some say even former ISIS Members, hastily Recycled) ?

- "They (UNO's Officials) don't even speak to us yet :!", complained (Yesterday, invited by MEPs at a CoE's "Side Event" in Strasbourg) the Syrian Kurdish Political Leader, Salem Mohamed Maslem, whose Organisation, the "Party of Democratic Union", had notoriously Helped the USA-led International Coalition to succesfully Fight against ISIS' Deadly Islamist Terrorists cowardly Targetting Civilian People, (Comp.: ....).
 
In Syrian Kurdish Canton Afrin (now Controlled by the Turkish Invasion/Occupation Troops and its Proxy Gangs of Armed Extremists), systematic Attempts to "Replace" its Ancestral Inhabitants by Other Groups, Imported by the Invading Turkish Army, seems to have already Started,  (as also reported Obstacles for Refugees/Displaced Persons' Return, Changes of Street Names clearly indicate)...

Υπόθεση ΟΡΑΜΣ : Ο Πρόεδρος ΕΔΑΔ απορρίπτει ισχυρισμό Εκθεσης Κομισιόν ΕΕ για Κατοχική "Επιτροπή" περιουσιών προσφύγων

    (Οι περισότερες δηλώσεις Προέδρου ΕΔΑΔ ακολουθούν κατόπιν σ άλλο άρθρο)
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Στρασβούργο/ΑΚΜ/ 16 Οκτωβρίου 2008/-
---------------------------------------------------------------
    Εντελώς ανακριβή κρίνει η ηγεσία ΕΔΑΔ τον επικίνδυνο ισχυρισμό Νομικής Εκθεσης από Κομισιόν ΕΕ που παρουσιάστηκε στο ΔΕΚ στο Λουξεμβούργο στη γνωστή υπόθεση εκμετάλλευσης γής ΕΚων προσφύγων ΅ΟΡΑΜΣ" σύμφωνα με τον "Πολίτη", ότι το ΠανΕυρωπακιό Δικαστήριο του Στρασβούργου θα είχε, δήθεν, ήδη κρίνει κατ αρχήν αποδεκτή την αμφιλεγόμενη "Επιτροπή Αποζημιώσεων" που έστησε η Τουρκία στα κατεχόμενα

    - "ΟΧΙ, ΟΧΙ, Δεν ελήφθη ακόμα απόφαση γι αυτό", και "δεν μπορούμε να πούμε από τώρα ποιά θα είναι η κατάληξη σ αυτό το θέμα, που μένει ανοικτό. Θ αποφασίσουμε σε λίγο καιρό", μας απάντησε ο Πρόεδρος ΕυρωΔικαστηρίου Ανθρωπίνων Δικαιωμάτων, Ζαν-Πώλ ΚΟΣΤΑ, σε σχετική ερώτησή μας για το αν αληθεύει ο πιο πάνω ισχυρισμός πως το ΕΔΑΔ θα είχε ήδη κρίνει σαν κατ αρχήν "αποτελεσματικό μέσο" προστασίας την αμφιλεγόμενη "Επιτροπή" των Κατεχομένων.

    - "Αυτά είναι απλές φαντασιώσεις. Μάλλον κάποιος παρεξήγησε την απόφαση Ξενίδης Αρέστη, Στην πραγματικότητα τίποτα δεν έχει αποφασιστεί ακόμα, Εμείς (το ΕΔΑΔ) ετοιμαζόμαστε να εξετάσουμε τις πρώτες 8 υποθέσεις "τεστ" για την εν λογω "Επιτροπή" (Κατεχομένων), όπου εγείραμε κάποιες ερωτήσεις, στις οποίες μόλις λάβαμε Απαντήσεις που αναλύουμε, για να δούμε άν θα μπορούσε να κριθεί σαν αποτελεσματικό ένδικο μέσο, ή όχι, Αν βρούμε σοβαρές ελλείψεις, τότε θ αγνοηθεί εκτός άν μπορέσουν να κάνουν όλες τις απαραίτητες αλλαγές", μας πρόσθεσε, επίσης, κι ο έμπειρος Διευθυντής της Ολομέλειας ΕΔΑΔ, Βινσάν ΜΠΕΡΖΕ, (που ήταν τ. υπεύθυνος του Τμήματος για ΕΚους πρόσφυγες, ότταν εξέδωσε τις αποφάσεις Ξενίδη Αρέστη, Δημάδη, κα).

    Τόσον ο Πρόεδρος του ΕΔΑΔ όσο κι ο Διευθυντής της Ολομέλειάς του μας μίλησαν την ημέρα εξαιρετής, σημαντικής συνάντησής τους στο Στρασβούργο με τον αντιΠρόεδρο Επιτροπής ΕΕ, αρμόδιο και για θέματα Ανθρωπίνων Δικαιωμάτων, Ζακ ΜΠΑΡΩ.

    Ο ίδιος ο Μπαρώ μας είπε δε ότι "δεν γνώρίζε" για την αμφιλεγόμενη Εκθεση Κομισιόν στην υπόθεση ΟΡΑΜΣ στο Δικαστήριο Ευρωπαικών Κοινοτήτων (ΔΕΚ) στο Λουξεμβούργο, υποδεικνύοντας ότι μάλλον ήταν υπάλληλοι απ τον Φιλανδό Επίτροπο Ρέν, αρμόδιο για Διεύρυνση που ίσως παρέμβησαν σχετικά (βλ, προηγούμενη Είδηση).
'
    Σημειωτέον ότι πρόσφατα ο Ταλάτ στο Στρασβούργο απέκλεισε ΠΛΗΡΗ αποκατάσταση της περιουσίας ΕΚ προσφύγων με την εν λόγω "Επιτροπή" των Κατεχομένων, μιλώντας μόνο για "ΜΕΡΙΚΗ αποκατάσταση, αλλαγή ή αποζημίωση", ενώ, αντίθετα, η Επιτροπή Υπουργών ΣτΕ μόλις έχει ζητήσει απ την Τουρκία να εξηγήσει γιατί αρνείται την πλήρη επιστροφή της περιουσίας της Τίνας Λοιζίδου..

    Εξάλλου, απαντώντας έμμεσα σε πρόσφατες προκλητικές δηλώσεις ΤΑΛΑΤ στο Στρασβούργο που παρομοίασε τους ΕΚους πρόσφυγες μ ανυπόμονους που "δεν είναι ικανοί να περιμένουν τη λύση του Κυπριακού", που αργεί 35 χρόνια απ την Τουρκική Εισβολη 1974, το ΕΔΑΔ έκρινε, σ άλλη υπόθεση που αφορούσε εταιρία εγγεγραμμένη στην Κύπρο, ότι, από θέμα Γενικών Αρχών ΑΔ, είναι "υπέρμετρη" και δυσανάλογη η επιβολή σε ιδιώτη της υποχρέωσης να στερηθεί της χρήσης περιουσίας του για πάνω από 12 χρόνια περιμένοντας την λύση ενός πολύπλοκου προβλήματος, ακόμα κι αν υπήρχε δημόσιο συμφέρον γι αυτό.

Polls

2009 EU Elections were won by Parties against Technocracy and Turkey's controversial EU bid, while the 1999-2004 Majority Abstention trend decelerated. What should be done in 2009-2014 ?
