Universal Declaration of Human Rights part II

I posted this a year ago or so and I felt that it would be
appropriate to post it again.


Here is some important information that I found that comes from the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 31, it says, "Corporal punishment, punishment by placing in a dark cell, and all cruel, inhuman or degrading punishments shall be completely prohibited as punishments for disciplinary offenses."

Protection of all Persons From Torture
U.N. Declaration on the Protection of all Persons From Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment of Prisoners


Article 2: Any act of torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment is an offense to human dignity and shall be condemned as a denial of the purposes of the Charter of the United Nations and as a violation of the human rights and fundamental freedoms proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Article 4: Each State shall, in accordance with the provisions of this declaration, take effective measures to prevent torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment from being practised within its jurisdiction.
Article 8: Any person who alleges that he has been subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment by, or at the instigation of, a public official shall have the right to complain to, and have his case impartially examined by, the competent authorities of the State concerned.
Article 9: Wherever there is reasonable grounds to believe that an act of torture has been committed, the competent authorities of the State concerned shall promptly proceed to an impartial investigation even if there has been no formal complaint..

Dick Cheney is the Anti-Christ.
