Titolo: Param Cumaraswamy e il Governo italiano

Secondo la BBC, Param Cumaraswamy, "rapporteur" della commissione delle
Nazioni Unite per i diritti umani, ha invitato formalmente ieri il
Governo italiano a "rispettare l'indipendenza dell'ordine giudiziario",
chiedendo inoltre di poter svolgere una "visita urgente" in Italia per
"studiare le cause ed aiutare a trovare una soluzione del presente
conflitto".
Sempre secondo la BBC, Param Cumaraswamy ha espresso particolare
preoccupazione, tra l'altro, per il possibile destino giudiziario di
Francesco Saverio Borrelli, da lui erroneamente identificato come
"judge" (giudice) anziché come "prosecutor" (titolare della pubblica
accusa).
A quel che pare, questa è al momento una iniziativa personale del
"rapporteur", che si è attivato in seguito a pressioni ricevute da
alcuni magistrati italiani.
Bye bye, Albert

Parera' a te. Questa e' invece e' la notizia come "pare" all' ONU:
UN EXPERT ON INDEPENDENCE OF JUDICIARY CONCERNED BY THREATS TO INDEPENDENCE
OF JUDGES IN ITALY xxxxxxxxxx
23 January 2002
Dato' Param Cumaraswamy Seeks Urgent Mission
The Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers of the
United Nations Commission on Human Rights, Dato' Param Cumaraswamy, today
expressed his concern over a growing confrontation between the Government
and the judiciary in Italy.
The Special Rapporteur has sent an urgent appeal to the Government of Italy
after having received information that at the start of the judicial year
earlier this month, a nationwide protest was staged by hundreds of
magistrates to show their concern about government attempts to undermine the
independence of the judiciary. Following accusations by Judge Francesco
Saverio Borelli, Milan's most senior judge, about political interference in
current trials, it was reported that the government was considering legal
action against judge Borelli.
Members of the judiciary have accused the Government in particular of trying
to delay trial proceedings against Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on
charges of bribery, the Special Rapporteur said. He recalled that they also
oppose the Government's planned reforms of the judiciary, saying that they
were aimed at bringing prosecutors under the control of the executive; and
that they protested against the removal of police escorts from prosecutors
and judges.
In his appeal to the Government, the Special Rapporteur drew attention to
the United Nations Basic Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary,
which provide, among other things, that:
"1. The independence of the judiciary shall be guaranteed by the State and
enshrined in the Constitution or the law of the country. It is the duty of
all governmental and other institutions to respect and observe the
independence of the judiciary."
"4. There shall not be any inappropriate or unwarranted interference with
the judicial process.".
"Confrontation of this nature could undermine the rule of law in Italy", Mr.
Cumaraswamy said. In light of developments, the Special Rapporteur added, he
has sought an urgent visit to Italy "in order to study the causes of and
assist in finding a solution to the present confrontation".
Probabilmente Fassino ha telefonato al portavoce dell' ONU e gli ha fatto
pubblicare questa notizia. Allo stesso tempo Borrelli faceva "pressioni"
sull' ONU a Ginevra.
Questa spiegazione e' chiaramente falsa, ma ha il vantaggio di essere
comprensibile da te. Devo ricordarmi di scrivere una nota di ringraziamento
a Matteo. Lui lo aveva capito subito.
Auguri.
