The Universal Declaration for Human Rights.

This document forms part of the United Nations effort to resolve conflicts between the rights of the state to control dangerous and unstable people, and the rights of the individual not to be locked up without trial and brutalised and bullied into taking life threatening and ineffective drugs. The UN sees these issues in a very clear cut way. It is illegal under the Convention for Human Rights for governments to treat people in this way, and the UK is a signatory of these laws, and yet they are not complying with it. Please read the document for yourself before reading on below or you can get your own copy by following this link: http://www.ohchr.org/EN/UDHR/Documents/60UDHR/detention_infonote_4.pdf:

The way that these laws are implemented in the UK is complex and requires governments signed up to it to show that they are attempting to implement it. However, they don't have to - after all what is the UN going to do if they don't, plus this the way international agreements are agreed upon - they are negotiated between the nations that have signed up to it. And no government anywhere in the world, is going to agree to have sanctions placed upon itself. So, what is done about this legal requirement, is that each government has to respond to the declaration in a pre-agreed format. They set out how they will implement it and when. This is currently being carried out by the Office for Disability Issues and their response was published for interested parties to comment on by the 20th June 2011 - two days from today (18th June 2011). However, do contact and visit the ODI anyway, whether the date for comments has passed or not:  www.odi.gov.uk/un-report. What you will see in this document is that the UK government has not implemented anything and has no plans to implement anything. The laws will remain unchanged and the detention without trial and forced treatment will carry on regardless of what the Commissioner has said.
