      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Missing Children Europe and its by corruption riddled network being a part of the by Swiss authorities organised International Child Kidnapping and Child Sexual Abuse ring took ... 130 days … to respond without responding.

On June 15th 2023 I reached out to <a href="https://missingchildreneurope.eu/">Missing Children Europe</a> (MCE) in writing. On June 17th 2023, after phone calls with them which I recorded, I published my <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/what-rabbit-hole-am-i-discovering">research about the Missing Children Europe organisation</a>.</p>

<p>While they had by phone conceded they would get back to me as soon as possible, it is only today, 130 days later, that a reply arrived. And the reply does not actually address the problem.</p>

<p>On June 15th I asked:</p>

<blockquote><p>In the name of transparency for publicly recognised Non Governmental Organisations I would like to know the links and/or partnerships between Missing Children Europe and the International Social Service, as well as the links between the national Missing Children partners and national members of the International Social Service.
Can you please clarify any links, and contractual agreements, between organisations? Thank you.</p></blockquote>

<p>Their answer today goes on questioning how 4 months ago the Google services integration on their web site blocked anyone whose firewall blocks Google services from accessing the MCE web site.</p>

<p>They do not respond, clarify, provide transparency as to the nature of their intra-organisation contracts or collegial ties, nor how these may affect and contribute to International Child Kidnapping and Child Sexual Abuse not being investigated.</p>

<p>As those who follow the blog know, I have recordings, documents and contracts of their Swiss partners active involvement in both kidnapping and sexual abuse of children. This includes how transnational and interdisciplinary collegiality (mafia) gets in the way at their Belgian chapter. How their organisation(s) do not perform their legal duties under international law and their <a href="https://missingchildreneurope.eu/download/child-protection-policy-mce/">child protection policy</a> as a consequence. And how they are funded by perpetrators to be instrumental in the kidnapping and abuse of children.</p>

<p>But importantly, I can not help but notice on Sunday I wrote the the Belgian Parliamentary Investigation Commission on Child Sexual Abuse, highlighting the organisation, and 2 days later out of the blue an email arrives.</p>

<p>If you look at the timeline:</p>
<ul><li>June 15th email to MCE</li>
<li>June 17th published MCE research</li>
<li>October 22nd email to commission</li>
<li>October 25th MCE responds, without addressing the issue</li></ul>

<p>Of course this is pure coincidence?</p>

<p>I responded to today&#39;s by MCE received correspondence as follows:</p>

<blockquote><p>June 15th 2023 notification of transparency access request on:
&gt;&gt; the links and/or partnerships between Missing Children Europe and the International Social Service, as well as the links between the national Missing Children partners and national members of the International Social Service. Can you please clarify any links, and contractual agreements, between organisations? &lt;&lt;
No reply to date. 130 days.
Missing Children Europe still has the duty to transparency. The questions remain unanswered, and not addressed in your below response.</p></blockquote>

<p>They might get addressed by the Parliamentary Investigation Commission, or they might respond. In any case, the dice are out there, just waiting to see how they&#39;re going to be dealt with, and by who.</p>

      <title>which corrupted officials will the Swiss vote for on Sunday?</title>
      <link>https://childrenforstatus.eu/which-corrupted-officials-will-the-swiss-vote-for-on-sunday?pk_campaign=rss-feed</link>
      <description>&lt;![CDATA[My eyes are now almost back on track, time to catch up. Especially given the Swiss federal elections and the ongoing corruption which the Swiss people, under the &#34;universal right to truth&#34;, may wish to come to realise before casting their votes.&#xA;!--more--&#xA;My left eye is now back in order, my right eye is still catching up a bit, but my sight is, for now, enough to pick up where I was forced to halt.&#xA;&#xA;Time for a little round-up on the ongoing Wednesday&#39;s Swiss court order violations by Swiss authorities, as introduction to the wider picture, and the upcoming Swiss elections.&#xA;&#xA;On October 4th Crystel Graf&#39;s (the minister responsible for child protection and electronic communication) autoreply confirmed once again good reception of the correspondence denouncing the court order and human rights violations committed by her department. She has, as usual, still not taken responsibility. This has been ongoing for at least 30 weeks.&#xA;&#xA;On October 11th, the ongoing court order violation. Children were not presented to the child protection services. Mr. Schallenberger who is responsible for making sure children are presented at 14:00 in the child protection care not even being at the office.&#xA;&#xA;On October 18th Mr. Schallenberger was according to the secretary of the child protection services on holiday. No information had been provided beforehand. Accounting for week 30 of Swiss court order violations by the Swiss child protection services.&#xA;&#xA;Arabelle Scyboz, still listed as the president of the Magistrate&#39;s Council which is the judiciary supervising authority, is still violating international and Swiss law on electronic communication and allowing the corruption by the judiciary she is responsible of. She is still banning electronic communication denouncing the heinous human rights crimes committed under her ultimate responsibility, and still denying access to justice.&#xA;&#xA;All of this is possible under the watchful eye of the parliamentary judiciary commission. Their secretary is in copy of the various denunciations. Its president, Céline Dupraz, responded once, on May 8th, confirming:&#xA;&#xA;  sa mission de haute surveillance&#xA;&#xA;Its mission of high surveillance of the judiciary, and …&#xA;&#xA;  respecter la séparation des pouvoirs&#xA;&#xA;It prefers to respect the separation of powers then investigate the ongoing heinous human rights violations committed by the judiciary it is supposed to be the high surveillance authority of.&#xA;&#xA;Basically the Parliamentary Commission who is supposed to scrutinise the methods and proper working of the judiciary in the interest of the public, says the judiciary can continue to be corrupted and commit human rights crimes.&#xA;&#xA;The president of the parliament, currently Martine Docourt Ducommun, identically fully informed, has never responded or acted.&#xA;&#xA;Nor has the minister of justice and currently acting prime minister, Alain Ribaud, ever responded or acted.&#xA;&#xA;That in Switzerland the fish rots from the head is well documented throughout the +130 posts on the blog. Above is only a succinct overview.&#xA;&#xA;The public who is voting these politicians into power has a universal right to truth about their state officials involvement in some of the worst human rights crimes, and actively helping for those crimes to be covered up. It is more then just monkeys &#34;don&#39;t hear, don&#39;t see, don&#39;t speak&#34; commission by omission to act.&#xA;&#xA;Swiss authorities are monkeys deliberately: don&#39;t hear, don&#39;t see, don&#39;t speak&#xA;&#xA;Would you vote for a politician when you know of unalienable evidence of ongoing human right crimes, particularly against children, co-perpetrated and covered-up by those in power?&#xA;&#xA;the veil of democracy and the rule of law used to validate corrupt votes&#xA;&#xA;Under a veil of imposed silence it is the Swiss authorities who ensure the denial of the universal right to truth. The public and the press are terrorised and do not dare to speak up for fear of their authorities retaliating. Reminiscent of the German &#34;wir haben es nicht gewusst&#34; syndrome under the rule of the second world war Gestapo.&#xA;&#xA;Being witness and having evidence to that, I open an additional chapter in my whistleblowing on Swiss authorities corruption. Why would I keep being scared to fully speak up, remain quiet, in the face of the Swiss wishing me dead and do everything to it anyway. Including attempts on my life.&#xA;&#xA;It so happens that due to my privileged position I can document how the fraud in recent votes in Switzerland was organised. With the evidence I have, I can not attest the end result would have been different, but I can attest to systematic electoral fraud.&#xA;&#xA;I can also attest to the prosecutor, Raphael Arn, having to investigate the electoral fraud while being under influence and manipulated. He has to function in his little village of Moutier, which claims the through electoral fraud obtained status of metropolitan city of the Jura. At some 7000 inhabitants, it surely is a joke. Those who follow the blog will recognise Raphael Arn&#39;s name from the child sexual abuse cases, and the documented transcantonal influence and threats by authorities he is under, to let child sexual abusers continue their perpetration against children.&#xA;&#xA;I have it on recording, no wonder he did not want the recordings when I presented him the recordings. No wonder he has never acted on the by him received registered mail indicating his office&#39;s violations of various human rights.&#xA;&#xA;You see in Switzerland, in light of any kind of wrongdoing, an independent outsider is not used to investigate. A local, subject to local pressures of interest, is used.&#xA;&#xA;Corruption is second nature to the Swiss. Any government official in power has to take an active role in it. The Swiss even have a fancy name for their deliberately organised wrongdoing. They call it &#34;interdisciplinary collegiality&#34;.&#xA;&#xA;Switzerland acclaims its status of superior democracy by ensuring its controllers are locked in this &#34;interdisciplinary collegiality&#34;. Being it the controllers of the parliament, of the judiciary, of the police, of the medical profession, ... all are subject to the same fancy worded mafia get along and shut up praxis.&#xA;&#xA;Bring on the SLAPP&#39;s&#xA;&#xA;Due to my eye problems, I&#39;ve had the luxury of talking on the phone to a few Swiss whistleblowers over the last weeks. People who had the courage to denounce Swiss wrongdoing.&#xA;&#xA;Not one of them knows any whistleblower who has not been persecuted by Swiss authorities. They all suffer SLAPP&#39;s - Strategic lawsuits against public participation - and human rights violations in Swiss authorities mostly successful attempts to silence whistleblowers, and allow for corruption to prevail.&#xA;&#xA;The Swiss public believes firmly in their superiority. How can they otherwise when the press, the fourth power, can not speak up under threat of legal action and undue influence of prosecutors into what may and may not get published. The various Swiss journalists I talked to, evidence at hand, are all afraid of one thing: being SLAPP-ed.&#xA;&#xA;As an example, in Switzerland, a criminal complaint alleging calumny takes precedence over any other criminal activity being performed. First the calumny is examined, only if the judiciary decides there is no calumny after years of proceedings, then the criminal activity may be possibly looked into. By then the combination of statute of limitations and destruction of evidence all account for a return to … calumny. Because if they can not condemn the wrongdoing due to the destruction of evidence and/or statute of limitations, well it must be calumny after all.&#xA;&#xA;And for calumny proving, all tools are used. False witness statements, wrong translations, falsified documents, abuse of power, bribery, …&#xA;&#xA;Another Swiss national sport is violating its international obligations under the United Nations Convention Against Corruption and the OECD Anti Bribery Conventions.&#xA;&#xA;Swiss are so infiltrated in those organisations that whenever the international controlling organisms show a pointing finger at Switzerland, as per the OECD example, a simple alleged verbal report suffices to silence the reporting on Switzerland&#39;s wrongdoing.&#xA;&#xA;Let me put that in layman&#39;s terms: Go to dinner, have a meal, and a pinch of intimidation and threats, and all is wrapped in silence.&#xA;&#xA;In Switzerland, democracy and the rule of law are mirages. The ego of the perpetrators is more important then what they themselves call the &#34;superior interest of the state in the manifestation of the truth&#34;, or combatting corruption.&#xA;&#xA;To the Swiss, the only truth that matters, is making sure no one dares to speak up against corruption, or be warned of the far reaching retaliation, transnational repression, persecution, including attempts on life.&#xA;&#xA;The amount of illegally, without trial, detained people in Swiss prisons on the basis of daring to speak up against corruption is astonishing. Those who spoke up against wrongdoing and before being locked up arbitrarily decide to flee the country face life-long transnational repression and persecution.&#xA;&#xA;Any access to foreign authority positions is abused by the Swiss, for example like I documented in the illegal SIS-II database usage. Which appears to be a systematic abuse in Swiss whistleblower cases.&#xA;&#xA;The renaissance of the methods of the likes of the Nazi, the Khmer Rouge, the Junta, … is happening in Switzerland. The only difference is these human rights violating regimes came to power on the basis of a series of political and economic crises, whilst in Switzerland it happens with the hidden stolen wealth accumulated by these criminal regimes as collateral.&#xA;&#xA;so who are the Swiss voting for coming Sunday?&#xA;&#xA;In absence of the press, the fourth power, legal ability to report Swiss authorities wrongdoing to the public, and in presence of interdisciplinary collegiality disease throughout the controlling of Swiss authorities, I&#39;ll let you decide on how you think the Swiss elections will turn out.&#xA;&#xA;I forecast it will be a team of same-old-same-old with a sprinkle of newly controlled interdisciplinary collegial individuals. Some shuffling of positions, and on the country goes for another 4 years of political and judicial corruption galore.&#xA;&#xA;I already extend the invitation to all the world&#39;s pedophiles and child kidnappers: flock to Switzerland. The federal minister participates in the denial of child sexual abuse disease in the country, and Swiss kidnapping authorities have their international child kidnapping dictator uninvestigated for over 3 years now. Really, if you are an international child kidnapper or a child sexual abuser, the Swiss will treat you with welcoming reverence, and make sure your wrongdoing never gets actioned against, for if it should even only be mentioned, you have the superior calumny and other human rights violating weapons of mass silencing at your fullest disposal. Including the omerta&#39;d parliament.&#xA;&#xA;Tags: #Rights #Sexual #Kidnapping #Accesstojustice #Whistleblower &#xA;&#xA;---&#xA;&#xA;A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.&#xA;This blog gets the proverbial pants on!&#xA;&#xA;---&#xA;&#xA;information provided as is, without prejudice, without any prejudicial recognition, and with reservation of all rights, expressly without recognition of any Swiss competence which remains contested&#xA;&#xA;for the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, all information on this blog, such as but not limited to documents and/or audio recordings and/or video recordings and/or pictures mentioned, have been made and/or collected, and published, in the interest of justice and the public at large&#xA;&#xA;the Universal Declaration of Human Rights applies to everything on this blog&#xA;&#xA;the Universal Right to Truth principle applies to everything on this blog&#xA;&#xA;© Copyright 2023 ]]&gt;</description>

<em>My left eye is now back in order, my right eye is still catching up a bit, but my sight is, for now, enough to pick up where I was forced to halt.</em></p>

<p>Time for a little round-up on the ongoing Wednesday&#39;s Swiss court order violations by Swiss authorities, as introduction to the wider picture, and the upcoming Swiss elections.</p>

<p>On October 4th Crystel Graf&#39;s (the minister responsible for child protection and electronic communication) autoreply confirmed once again good reception of the correspondence denouncing the court order and human rights violations committed by her department. She has, as usual, still not taken responsibility. This has been ongoing for at least 30 weeks.</p>

<p>On October 11th, the ongoing court order violation. Children were not presented to the child protection services. Mr. Schallenberger who is responsible for making sure children are presented at 14:00 in the child protection care not even being at the office.</p>

<p>On October 18th Mr. Schallenberger was according to the secretary of the child protection services on holiday. No information had been provided beforehand. Accounting for week 30 of Swiss court order violations by the Swiss child protection services.</p>

<p>All of this is possible under the watchful eye of the <a href="https://www.ne.ch/autorites/GC/composition/cp/Pages/Comm-Perm-Judiciaire.aspx">parliamentary judiciary commission</a>. Their secretary is in copy of the various denunciations. Its president, Céline Dupraz, responded once, on May 8th, confirming:</p>

<p>Swiss are so infiltrated in those organisations that whenever the international controlling organisms show a pointing finger at Switzerland, <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/whistleblowers-in-europe-how-states-waltz-around-human-rights">as per the OECD example</a>, a simple alleged verbal report suffices to silence the reporting on Switzerland&#39;s wrongdoing.</p>

<p>Let me put that in layman&#39;s terms: Go to dinner, have a meal, and a pinch of intimidation and threats, and all is wrapped in silence.</p>

<p>In Switzerland, democracy and the rule of law are mirages. The ego of the perpetrators is more important then what they themselves call the <em>“superior interest of the state in the manifestation of the truth”</em>, or combatting corruption.</p>

<p>To the Swiss, the only truth that matters, is making sure no one dares to speak up against corruption, or be warned of the far reaching retaliation, transnational repression, persecution, including attempts on life.</p>

<p>The amount of illegally, without trial, detained people in Swiss prisons on the basis of daring to speak up against corruption is astonishing. Those who spoke up against wrongdoing and before being locked up arbitrarily decide to flee the country face life-long transnational repression and persecution.</p>

<p>Any access to foreign authority positions is abused by the Swiss, for example <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/transnational-repression-by-switzerland">like I documented in the illegal SIS-II database usage</a>. Which appears to be a systematic abuse in Swiss whistleblower cases.</p>

<p>The renaissance of the methods of the likes of the Nazi, the Khmer Rouge, the Junta, … is happening in Switzerland. The only difference is these human rights violating regimes came to power on the basis of a series of political and economic crises, whilst in Switzerland it happens with the <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/whistleblowers-in-europe-how-states-waltz-around-human-rights">hidden stolen wealth accumulated by these criminal regimes</a> as collateral.</p>

<h1 id="so-who-are-the-swiss-voting-for-coming-sunday" id="so-who-are-the-swiss-voting-for-coming-sunday">so who are the Swiss voting for coming Sunday?</h1>

<p>In absence of the press, the fourth power, legal ability to report Swiss authorities wrongdoing to the public, and in presence of interdisciplinary collegiality disease throughout the controlling of Swiss authorities, I&#39;ll let you decide on how you think the Swiss elections will turn out.</p>

<p>I forecast it will be a team of same-old-same-old with a sprinkle of newly controlled interdisciplinary collegial individuals. Some shuffling of positions, and on the country goes for another 4 years of political and judicial corruption galore.</p>

<p>I already extend the invitation to all the world&#39;s pedophiles and child kidnappers: flock to Switzerland. The <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/switzerland-is-the-auschwitz-of-child-sexual-abuse">federal minister participates</a> in the denial of child sexual abuse disease in the country, and Swiss kidnapping authorities have their <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/swiss-judicial-child-kidnapping-dictator-one-judge-decides-in-all-levels-of">international child kidnapping dictator uninvestigated</a> for over 3 years now. Really, if you are an international child kidnapper or a child sexual abuser, the Swiss will treat you with welcoming reverence, and make sure your wrongdoing never gets actioned against, for if it should even only be mentioned, you have the superior calumny and other human rights violating weapons of mass silencing at your fullest disposal. Including the omerta&#39;d parliament.</p>

      <title>Switzerland is the Auschwitz of Child Sexual Abuse</title>
      <link>https://childrenforstatus.eu/switzerland-is-the-auschwitz-of-child-sexual-abuse?pk_campaign=rss-feed</link>
      <description>&lt;![CDATA[What happened today thwarts all imagination. A report on Child Sexual Abuse came out in Switzerland. Both the authorities and the church reacted. I need to write, I need to vent. Discover with me the true nature of Switzerland …&#xA;!--more--&#xA;Swiss authorities dealing with Child Sexual Abuse. A pack of wolves ripping apart anyone who dares to speak up&#xA;&#xA;Yes, I know!&#xA;&#xA;I am whistleblowing about Swiss authorities committing the deliberate and organised crimes of Child Sexual Abuse and pay-for-contract International Child Kidnapping.&#xA;I have some 500 hours recordings, documents, copies of contracts.&#xA;I have on recording authorities planning the kidnapping of children abroad and finding it is better to leave children from time to time with their child sexual abuser then to protect them.&#xA;I lived authorities dismissing evidence and make up false evidence in order to do everything they can to keep hidden their heinous denial of child sexual abuse.&#xA;I am whistleblowing about Switzerland automatically retaliating, transnationally repressing and persecuting whistleblowers.&#xA;…&#xA;&#xA;Yes, I know!&#xA;&#xA;But what happened today just makes a fully knowledgeable, seasoned and ardent fighter for Child Sexual Abuse victims in Switzerland sick. Switzerland is a country sick beyond help. Switzerland which we all take for granted as being the highest order in Human Rights protections and the rule of law, is the most despicable, victim blaming, disrespectful country in the world. By a long shot.&#xA;&#xA;The report&#xA;&#xA;The report titled &#34;Rapport concernant le projet pilote sur l&#39;histoire des abus sexuels dans le contexte de l&#39;Église catholique romaine en Suisse depuis le milieu du 20ème siècle&#34; is a work by historians.&#xA;&#xA;You read that right. In Switzerland Child Sexual Abuse is examined by historians. It is not deemed a contemporary problem, but a problem of bygone era&#39;s, to be documented by historians.&#xA;&#xA;In addition, it is a pilot project. Indeed, there is such disbelief Switzerland could be a nation like all other nations around the world. Remember, elsewhere 1 in 4 persons has suffered child sexual abuse in their childhood. So the Swiss figured, let&#39;s do a test and see how it goes.&#xA;&#xA;Kudos to the historians who dared to take the olympic, Herculean difficult task to lead a pilot project on a subject whose existence in Switzerland is totally denied. Monika Dommann and Marietta Meier, and their team, deserve more then the gold medal.&#xA;&#xA;The pilot project by the historians of Zurich University started in January 2020, and was presented today, September 12th 2023.&#xA;&#xA;Three and a half years to document 1002 cases for which as historians, they were given access to certain archives of bishops.&#xA;&#xA;Their conclusions are manyfold, but a few stand out. Note I have these from press clippings. I have yet to read and verify the below press outburst in the 134 pages report. It not being in English, will take me some time to verify the press said the right things:&#xA;&#xA;more boys then girls have been subject to child sexual abuse in the church&#xA;records have been removed and destroyed&#xA;1002 records were examined since the 1950&#39;s&#xA;only the tip of the iceberg according to the reporters&#xA;given the culture of silence and non reporting, most victims never dared to speak up&#xA;&#xA;Most of these conclusions had already been alerted by the CECAR, who&#39;s been silenced and budget strapped so not much could come out of it. I published about this in the post on Which Swiss NGO&#39;s should act in matters of sexual violence on children?.&#xA;&#xA;The shock&#xA;&#xA;Some math to help the Swiss who love numbers when it comes to wealth and profit, but despise numbers when it comes to victims.&#xA;&#xA;In France, the CIASE investigated 330.000 cases for 64 million people. It was admitted there that too many victims choose not to speak, and estimated at least 500.000 victims should be remembered.&#xA;&#xA;9 million people live in Switzerland. Statistically, it means in Switzerland some 45.000 victims are to be expected. Of that, the pilot project looked at 1002 cases. Let&#39;s be harsh, and round it off at 2%.&#xA;&#xA;Are the Swiss prepared to take the leap into shedding light on their heinousness as other countries have done? They&#39;re in for a shocker starting at 2% …&#xA;&#xA;The church speaks&#xA;&#xA;While the church admits it destroyed records, it pleads guilty for the crime of widespread child sexual abuse. I admit I am surprised about the rush-of-the moment flat out mea-culpa by the Swiss church, I applaud it. It is a first not seen in any other country where the church has always tried to embellish the problem.&#xA;&#xA;Maybe the dissident voices of the church have not yet spoken? Let&#39;s wait and see in the coming days.&#xA;&#xA;The Basel Diocese, Bishop Felix Gmür&#xA;&#xA;I reached out to the researchers as I have evidence of wrongdoing in this diocese. Allow me to publish later, once I see whether they reach out or not.&#xA;&#xA;In any case, the Bishop could not be clearer in the press fully acknowledging the church&#39;s responsibility.&#xA;&#xA;The minister Elisabeth Baume-Schneider speaks &#xA;&#xA;And this is where I get angry. Really angry. A fine example of how in Switzerland the fish rots from the head down.&#xA;&#xA;The Federal Councillor for justice, the justice minister, Elisabeth Baume-Schneider, is from the Jura.&#xA;&#xA;Here is what she said:&#xA;&#xA;As per RTS&#xA;&#xA;  An &#34;alarming&#34; but &#34;significant&#34; study which could bring us to action.&#xA;  this study is alarming, but it is also a significant step towards getting us to act.&#xA;&#xA;I guess the Swiss commander in chief and its public need to think it through whether when faced with child sexual abuse it is appropriate to act or not? From experience I know they do everything to not act, until this day, regardless of 500 hours unalienable evidence.&#xA;&#xA;  she criticised a system &#34;that at some point probably chose to protect the institution and the perpetrators more than the victims.&#xA;&#xA;Let me tell you and confirm, I have the evidence the Swiss system systematically choses to protect the institutions and perpetrator to the detriment of victims. What disgusts most is that the report points out this culture, but the minister dares to doubt it with &#34;probably&#34;.&#xA;&#xA;  we&#39;re out of the emotional side and we have factual elements.&#xA;&#xA;It characterises the total incompetence and incapability of the minister to have any empathy when faced with the most heinous crime that is child sexual abuse. Ask any child sexual abuse victim about emotion versus factual elements. Disgraceful at best.&#xA;&#xA;  There is now a real breeding ground on which we can work&#xA;&#xA;As if civil society has not been crying out. Remember for example Incest according to Manon Schick, Mrs. Justice Minister? Wir haben es nicht gewusst!&#xA;&#xA;Switzerland is the Auschwitz of modern era Child Sexual Abuse&#xA;&#xA;  The courts will now be able to respond to complaints or proceedings that take place as a result of this situation.&#xA;&#xA;This is revolting. Switzerland&#39;s courts have been in a constitutional obligation to act for decennia. Last time I published about the monist system is no later then this morning. But the minister is right. I too call for Nuremberg to come down on Switzerland. A public parliamentary investigation into the Swiss authorities organised crime of pay-for international child kidnapping contracts and sexual abuse. But ...&#xA;&#xA;  we can only apologise&#xA;&#xA;The minister confirms Switzerland is adamant at violating universal human rights.&#xA;&#xA;right to protection&#xA;right to support&#xA;right to non recurrence&#xA;right to reparation&#xA;&#xA;Err, no, you get a &#34;we can only apologise&#34; Sorry Mrs. Minister, your advocating against human rights leads to the conclusion you should resign.&#xA;&#xA;  but above all we must commit ourselves to ensuring that this is no longer possible&#xA;&#xA;Probably the only &#34;honest&#34; part. Admitting the crime of Child Sexual Abuse is possible in Switzerland today, and that the Swiss &#34;must commit themselves&#34; against it.&#xA;&#xA;  those who have not dared to testify to find an environment where they can express themselves so that they can feel better.&#xA;&#xA;WHERE?&#xA;There is no where in Switzerland where victims can testify without being treated first and foremost as calumny perpetrators.&#xA;There is no where in Switzerland where people may get help to feel better.&#xA;&#xA;The country is devoid of professionals as per several international reports. Including the Swiss mental health industry itself, like ESPAS, admits there is a lack of adequate professionals.&#xA;&#xA;So minister, unless you go deep, very deep, in your endless holocaust confiscated money pockets, and announce a full remediation programme so the competence in child sexual abuse can not only exist but be broadly, easily and financially accessibly available, you are saying to victims:&#xA;&#xA;&#34;screw you, you&#39;re on your own, deal with it yourselves, we, the state, are not going to help you, go away so we don&#39;t see you as we don&#39;t intent to help you anyway&#34;&#xA;&#xA;That, Mrs Minister, is your message to Child Sexual Abuse Victims today.&#xA;&#xA;Mrs. Minister, you should be ashamed of yourself, and resign. No empathy, no recognition, no assistance for victims who you ostracise and leave to their own damaged person to deal with hurt inflicted upon them as children, silenced by authority, and alone.&#xA;&#xA;Conclusion&#xA;&#xA;The Swiss need to have their head looked into. Seriously.&#xA;&#xA;This is no way for the highest official of a country to deal with a societally silenced and denied pandemic which is so big it is impossible to keep it unacknowledged. Yet the Swiss being interdisciplinary collegial at silence, no wonder omerta among authorities perdures. To then keep going the stigmatisation and dismissal of victims of child sexual abuse is criminal.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What happened today thwarts all imagination. A report on Child Sexual Abuse came out in Switzerland. Both the authorities and the church reacted. I need to write, I need to vent. Discover with me the true nature of Switzerland …

<img src="https://i.snap.as/IxcON5kX.jpg" alt="Swiss authorities dealing with Child Sexual Abuse. A pack of wolves ripping apart anyone who dares to speak up"/></p>

<p>Yes, I know!</p>

<p>I am whistleblowing about Swiss authorities committing the deliberate and organised crimes of Child Sexual Abuse and pay-for-contract International Child Kidnapping.
I have some 500 hours recordings, documents, copies of contracts.
I have on recording authorities planning the kidnapping of children abroad and finding it is better to leave children from time to time with their child sexual abuser then to protect them.
I lived authorities dismissing evidence and make up false evidence in order to do everything they can to keep hidden their heinous denial of child sexual abuse.
I am whistleblowing about Switzerland automatically retaliating, transnationally repressing and persecuting whistleblowers.
…</p>

<p>Yes, I know!</p>

<p>But what happened today just makes a fully knowledgeable, seasoned and ardent fighter for Child Sexual Abuse victims in Switzerland sick. Switzerland is a country sick beyond help. Switzerland which we all take for granted as being the highest order in Human Rights protections and the rule of law, is the most despicable, victim blaming, disrespectful country in the world. By a long shot.</p>

<h2 id="the-report" id="the-report">The report</h2>

<p>The report titled <em>“<a href="https://zenodo.org/record/8315774/files/Schlussbericht_fr.pdf?download=1">Rapport concernant le projet pilote sur l&#39;histoire des abus sexuels dans le contexte de l&#39;Église catholique romaine en Suisse depuis le milieu du 20ème siècle</a>“</em> is a work by historians.</p>

<p>You read that right. In Switzerland Child Sexual Abuse is examined by historians. It is not deemed a contemporary problem, but a problem of bygone era&#39;s, to be documented by historians.</p>

<p>In addition, it is a pilot project. Indeed, there is such disbelief Switzerland could be a nation like all other nations around the world. Remember, elsewhere 1 in 4 persons has suffered child sexual abuse in their childhood. So the Swiss figured, let&#39;s do a test and see how it goes.</p>

<p>Kudos to the historians who dared to take the olympic, Herculean difficult task to lead a pilot project on a subject whose existence in Switzerland is totally denied. Monika Dommann and Marietta Meier, and their team, deserve more then the gold medal.</p>

<p>The pilot project by the historians of Zurich University started in January 2020, and was presented today, September 12th 2023.</p>

<p>Three and a half years to document 1002 cases for which as historians, they were given access to certain archives of bishops.</p>

<p>Their conclusions are manyfold, but a few stand out. Note I have these from press clippings. I have yet to read and verify the below press outburst in the 134 pages report. It not being in English, will take me some time to verify the press said the right things:</p>
<ul><li>more boys then girls have been subject to child sexual abuse in the church</li>
<li>records have been removed and destroyed</li>
<li>1002 records were examined since the 1950&#39;s</li>
<li>only the tip of the iceberg according to the reporters</li>
<li>given the culture of silence and non reporting, most victims never dared to speak up</li></ul>

<p>Most of these conclusions had already been alerted by the <a href="https://cecar.ch">CECAR</a>, who&#39;s been silenced and budget strapped so not much could come out of it. I published about this in the post on <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/part-2-which-swiss-authorities-and-ngos-should-act-in-matters-of-sexual">Which Swiss NGO&#39;s should act in matters of sexual violence on children?</a>.</p>

<h2 id="the-shock" id="the-shock">The shock</h2>

<p>Some math to help the Swiss who love numbers when it comes to wealth and profit, but despise numbers when it comes to victims.</p>

<p>In France, the CIASE investigated 330.000 cases for 64 million people. It was admitted there that too many victims choose not to speak, and estimated at least 500.000 victims should be remembered.</p>

<p>9 million people live in Switzerland. Statistically, it means in Switzerland some 45.000 victims are to be expected. Of that, the pilot project looked at 1002 cases. Let&#39;s be harsh, and round it off at 2%.</p>

<p>Are the Swiss prepared to take the leap into shedding light on their heinousness as other countries have done? They&#39;re in for a shocker starting at 2% …</p>

<h2 id="the-church-speaks" id="the-church-speaks">The church speaks</h2>

<p>While the church admits it destroyed records, it pleads guilty for the crime of widespread child sexual abuse. I admit I am surprised about the rush-of-the moment flat out mea-culpa by the Swiss church, I applaud it. It is a first not seen in any other country where the church has always tried to embellish the problem.</p>

<p>Maybe the dissident voices of the church have not yet spoken? Let&#39;s wait and see in the coming days.</p>

<h2 id="the-basel-diocese-bishop-felix-gmür" id="the-basel-diocese-bishop-felix-gmür">The Basel Diocese, Bishop Felix Gmür</h2>

<p>I reached out to the researchers as I have evidence of wrongdoing in this diocese. Allow me to publish later, once I see whether they reach out or not.</p>

<p>In any case, the Bishop could not be clearer in the press fully acknowledging the church&#39;s responsibility.</p>

<h2 id="the-minister-elisabeth-baume-schneider-speaks" id="the-minister-elisabeth-baume-schneider-speaks">The minister Elisabeth Baume-Schneider speaks</h2>

<p>And this is where I get angry. Really angry. A fine example of how <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/update-the-fish-rots-from-the-head-down">in Switzerland the fish rots from the head down</a>.</p>

<p>The Federal Councillor for justice, the justice minister, Elisabeth Baume-Schneider, is from the Jura.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.rts.ch/info/suisse/14307743-leveque-de-bale-felix-gmur-bouleverse-par-les-revelations-dabus-dans-leglise-catholique.html">Here is what she said</a>:</p>

<p><img src="https://i.snap.as/MV4U6A4s.png" alt="As per RTS"/></p>

<blockquote><p>An “alarming” but “significant” study which could bring us to action.
this study is alarming, but it is also a significant step towards getting us to act.</p></blockquote>

<p>I guess the Swiss commander in chief and its public need to think it through whether when faced with child sexual abuse it is appropriate to act or not? From experience I know they do everything to not act, until this day, regardless of 500 hours unalienable evidence.</p>

<blockquote><p>she criticised a system “that at some point probably chose to protect the institution and the perpetrators more than the victims.</p></blockquote>

<p>Let me tell you and confirm, I have the evidence the Swiss system systematically choses to protect the institutions and perpetrator to the detriment of victims. What disgusts most is that the report points out this culture, but the minister dares to doubt it with <em>“probably”</em>.</p>

<blockquote><p>we&#39;re out of the emotional side and we have factual elements.</p></blockquote>

<p>It characterises the total incompetence and incapability of the minister to have any empathy when faced with the most heinous crime that is child sexual abuse. Ask any child sexual abuse victim about emotion versus factual elements. Disgraceful at best.</p>

<blockquote><p>There is now a real breeding ground on which we can work</p></blockquote>

<p>As if civil society has not been crying out. Remember for example <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/incest-according-to-manon-schick">Incest according to Manon Schick</a>, Mrs. Justice Minister? <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/wir-haben-es-nicht-gewusst-swiss-state-organised-sexual-violence-on-children">Wir haben es nicht gewusst</a>!</p>

<p><img src="https://i.snap.as/YY0ypC1P.jpg" alt="Switzerland is the Auschwitz of modern era Child Sexual Abuse"/></p>

<blockquote><p>The courts will now be able to respond to complaints or proceedings that take place as a result of this situation.</p></blockquote>

<p>This is revolting. Switzerland&#39;s courts have been in a <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/part-1-who-must-act-in-csiv-according-to-international-law">constitutional obligation</a> to act for decennia. Last time I published about the monist system is no later then <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/whistleblowers-in-europe-how-states-waltz-around-human-rights">this morning</a>. But the minister is right. I too call for Nuremberg to come down on Switzerland. A public parliamentary investigation into the Swiss authorities organised crime of pay-for international child kidnapping contracts and sexual abuse. But ...</p>

<blockquote><p>we can only apologise</p></blockquote>

<p>The minister confirms Switzerland is adamant at violating universal human rights.</p>
<ul><li>right to protection</li>
<li>right to support</li>
<li>right to non recurrence</li>
<li>right to reparation</li></ul>

<p>Err, no, you get a <em>“we can only apologise”</em> Sorry Mrs. Minister, your advocating against human rights leads to the conclusion you should resign.</p>

<blockquote><p>but above all we must commit ourselves to ensuring that this is no longer possible</p></blockquote>

<p>Probably the only <em>“honest”</em> part. Admitting the crime of Child Sexual Abuse is possible in Switzerland today, and that the Swiss <em>“must commit themselves”</em> against it.</p>

<blockquote><p>those who have not dared to testify to find an environment where they can express themselves so that they can feel better.</p></blockquote>

<p>WHERE?
There is no where in Switzerland where victims can testify without being treated first and foremost as calumny perpetrators.
There is no where in Switzerland where people may get help to feel better.</p>

<p>The country is devoid of professionals as per several <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/the-committee-on-the-rights-of-the-child-latest-report-on-switzerland">international reports</a>. Including the Swiss mental health industry itself, <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/part-2-which-swiss-authorities-and-ngos-should-act-in-matters-of-sexual">like ESPAS</a>, admits there is a lack of adequate professionals.</p>

<p>So minister, unless you go deep, very deep, <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/fesip-kprr">in your endless holocaust confiscated money pockets</a>, and announce a full remediation programme so the competence in child sexual abuse can not only exist but be broadly, easily and financially accessibly available, you are saying to victims:</p>

<p><em>“screw you, you&#39;re on your own, deal with it yourselves, we, the state, are not going to help you, go away so we don&#39;t see you as we don&#39;t intent to help you anyway”</em></p>

<p>That, Mrs Minister, is your message to Child Sexual Abuse Victims today.</p>

<p>Mrs. Minister, you should be ashamed of yourself, and resign. No empathy, no recognition, no assistance for victims who you ostracise and leave to their own damaged person to deal with hurt inflicted upon them as children, silenced by authority, and alone.</p>

<h2 id="conclusion" id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>

<p>The Swiss need to have their head looked into. Seriously.</p>

<p>This is no way for the highest official of a country to deal with a societally silenced and denied pandemic which is so big it is impossible to keep it unacknowledged. Yet the Swiss being interdisciplinary collegial at silence, no wonder omerta among authorities perdures. To then keep going the stigmatisation and dismissal of victims of child sexual abuse is criminal. And there is International law which constitutionally must be executed.</p>

<p>Violations of the <a href="https://www.coe.int/en/web/children/lanzarote-convention">Lanzarote convention</a>.
Violations of the <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/convention-rights-child">Convention one the Rights of the Child</a> and its <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/crc-sale.pdf">optional protocol</a>.
Violations of the <a href="https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights">Universal Declaration of Human Rights</a>.
Violations of the <a href="https://www.echr.coe.int/documents/d/echr/Convention_ENG">European Declaration of Human Rights</a>.</p>

<p>No, seriously, this lady&#39;s disrespect for victims of the most heinous crime, and the law, is totally unfit for office, and needs to step down.</p>

<p>The country is reputed for its cows and cheese. Today it is yet again showing its real face: a country of sheep mended by wolves who will not hesitate to kill any victim voice, and feast on its cadaver as example for all sheep to never dare to speak up against deliberate state organised wrongdoing in Child Sexual Abuse.</p>

      <title>the era of age and sexual consent: a path to solution</title>
      <link>https://childrenforstatus.eu/the-era-of-age-and-sexual-consent-a-path-to-solution?pk_campaign=rss-feed</link>
      <description>&lt;![CDATA[The age related galore of regulitis does not use common sense nor evaluation of discernment of the individual child in matters of child sexual abuse. What solutions could there be to counter the legal and cultural pressure to continue the &#34;to bottom&#34; race of the age of children&#39;s sexual consent?&#xA;!--more--&#xA;&#xA;The use of buzz-words like discernment and consent revolves around concerns. Whether legitimate or not, their alleging forms the basis of excuses in our pigeonholing societies. The old adage of grasping extreme differences into homogenous categories everyone can understand and deal with. It is about variation and diversity versus convenience for courts and society. Yet the younger, the greater these disparities durably impact lives.&#xA;&#xA;Do we need it? Do we need an &#34;age of consent&#34;? Or are we better off with anarchical concepts interpreted on an ad-hoc, case by case basis? Which criteria and definitions would, or should, we use? On what would we base them?&#xA;&#xA;The law mixing up inquisitive exploration, discernment, consensualness, and all elements of criminal nature is clearly incapacitated to provide an easy, child centred answer.&#xA;&#xA;neurology to the rescue&#xA;&#xA;Neurological science has proven we are not &#34;adult&#34; until well into our twenties. Objective research, such as brain scan imagery, shows by age 18, the usual legal adult age, we are about half way in our neurological development from puberty to adulthood. A quick search will reveal the amount of confirming research on the subject.&#xA;&#xA;Risk taking and dealing with risk taking consequences, our capacity to inhibit impulses or deal with influence, and more, are not fully developed at 18. Whether we like it or not, this involves and influences at least our psychological and sexual capacities. It usually takes until about our mid twenties to reach that point, but there is great individual variability in timing.&#xA;&#xA;Children will inevitably explore and experiment sexual behaviour long before the end of development. During that time, various forms of influence, or worse, create victims who sustain life-long measurable neurological damage.&#xA;&#xA;Who&#39;s responsible?&#xA;&#xA;To me the question is not whether the age of biological ability to procreate, or an alleged age of any kind, should be used. Age should not come into the picture. The question to me is how those who are further on their path of life could (want to) take responsibility for those who are less so?&#xA;&#xA;In many if not most child sexual abuse cases, victims have had to show, prove, to authorities there was unwarranted influence, abuse.&#xA;In families, children who try to speak up most often are not heard, nor listened to.&#xA;&#xA;Is that how we want a child, regardless of age, to start dealing with life-long far reaching measurable damage?&#xA;&#xA;Who&#39;s responsible when a 15 year old child explores sexuality with a 14 year old? Do we consider it consensual because neither seems at that time to suffer from the experience? Do we punish the elder child, or try to establish which of both is the furthest developed? Or do we commit gender based violence by defaulting responsibility to the boy regardless of his development? …&#xA;&#xA;None of any of these in my opinion.&#xA;&#xA;Parents, family, the close circle of trust are responsible …&#xA;&#xA;Who&#39;s responsible seems easily defined in the face of child sexual abuse. The parents, and the child circle of trust, are responsible, no? Yet if it would be easy, wouldn&#39;t child sexual abuse not exist?&#xA;&#xA;Even parents fall prey to omission to act in favour of their child victim. For example by adults willing disbelief, generating life-long child sexual abuse consequences. I&#39;ve published an open letter to my recently passed away aunt because it is I think an example of the responsibility of families.&#xA;&#xA;Pictures and movies can capture and convey the spirit in ways scribbles can&#39;t. While it takes stomach, I invite everyone to watch the 2018 movie &#34;les chatouilles&#34; showing the childhood experience of artist Andrea Bescond. The movie was translated to English, titled little tickles. It is an exemplary example of how families may deal with Child Sexual Abuse.&#xA;&#xA;A trailer of the movie can be watched on invidious.&#39;&#xA;&#xA;For me the movie was an eye opener on a politically incorrect truth. Mothers too are responsible for child sexual abuse. And the increasing data suggests women are no better then men at the subject.&#xA;&#xA;In 2020 Kristin Jones as victim offered an inspirational ted talk: Why children stay silent following sexual violence.&#xA;&#xA;div style=&#34;max-width:854px&#34;div style=&#34;position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%&#34;iframe src=&#34;https://embed.ted.com/talks/lang/en/kristinjoneswhychildrenstaysilentfollowingsexualviolence&#34; width=&#34;854&#34; height=&#34;480&#34; style=&#34;position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%&#34; frameborder=&#34;0&#34; scrolling=&#34;no&#34; allowfullscreen/iframe/div/div&#xA;&#xA;Yes, some of the data she refers to might not be entirely up-to-date or correct. And there are a few gender discriminations creeping in there. But that&#39;s not important. Her sharing of her personal experience is an example testimony of what happens among the 90% of child sexual abuse cases, and sheds light on what needs to change.&#xA;&#xA;So what should we do?&#xA;&#xA;Wrongdoing will happen in the group of peers, among children. Repression against children is not the answer. Support, awareness and reparation are.&#xA;&#xA;Based on the neurological evidence, the law should seek to increase the age of consent. As far as I am concerned, at least to 18 if not higher. The duly necessary exceptions to the law, acknowledging children&#39;s exploration, should render the age of consent wholly dependent on three pillars:&#xA;&#xA;objective assessment there is discernment&#xA;establishment there is absence of elements of abuse such as influence and coercion&#xA;exclusively within the group of peers&#xA;&#xA;Surprise: International law and jurisprudence already allows for much of this &#34;flexibility&#34; concerning consensual sexual conduct in the group of peers. It is just we do not apply nor use it because no law can assess the individual level.&#xA;&#xA;Only people who are truly competent and experienced can try to provide a personal opinion assessment. And there is a chronic lack of them, everywhere. And it is in the nature of people to make mistakes. Expert mistakes are as human as unpardonable in matters of Child Sexual Abuse.&#xA;&#xA;In time, I am confident law will acknowledge neurology to determine whether an individual is of age of consent or not. Much like it has the capacity to objectively determine who has been victim of child sexual abuse, and who is falsely accusing.&#xA;&#xA;my thoughts&#xA;&#xA;Child sexual abuse has been part of humanity since times immemorial, and will remain part of our societies no matter what we do or wish to counter it. It doesn&#39;t mean it is not our duty to work and act against it.&#xA;&#xA;The first change is how we all look at and deal with child sexual abuse.&#xA;&#xA;Our adult culture and praxis of ego, honour, shame, silencing, ... being valued as more important then a child&#39;s needs being dealt with appropriately, must be stopped.&#xA;&#xA;We don&#39;t need to teach children. We need to teach adults, parents and the close circle of trust in particular. Adults need to learn appropriate communication on the subject. Among themselves and towards children. An atmosphere of non judgement as a warm, secure, trustworthy blanket. In this way, also false allegations of children can be dealt with in a sane and future life constructive way.&#xA;&#xA;Stand by children victims and children perpetrators. And particularly stand up against adult set ways and perpetrators. No matter the age consideration. And realise since as a society we condemn sexual abuse between adults, shouldn&#39;t we start with addressing sexual violence against and among children with as much fervour?&#xA;&#xA;end of part 2 of this 2 part series&#xA;&#xA;part 1 { the era of age and sexual consent: the problem }&#xA;part 2 { the era of age and sexual consent: a path to solution }&#xA;&#xA;A shorter edited version is also available at HAVOCA.&#xA;&#xA;Tags: #Rights #Sexual #Psychological&#xA;&#xA;---&#xA;&#xA;A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.&#xA;This blog gets the proverbial pants on!&#xA;&#xA;---&#xA;&#xA;information provided as is, without prejudice, without any prejudicial recognition, and with reservation of all rights, expressly without recognition of any Swiss competence which remains contested&#xA;&#xA;for the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, all information on this blog, such as but not limited to documents and/or audio recordings and/or video recordings and/or pictures mentioned, have been made and/or collected, and published, in the interest of justice and the public at large&#xA;&#xA;the Universal Declaration of Human Rights applies to everything on this blog&#xA;&#xA;the Universal Right to Truth principle applies to everything on this blog&#xA;&#xA;© Copyright 2023 ]]&gt;</description>

While it takes stomach, I invite everyone to watch the 2018 movie “<a href="https://www.filmsdukiosque.fr/longs-metrages/les-chatouilles">les chatouilles</a>” showing the childhood experience of artist <a href="https://andreabescond.art">Andrea Bescond</a>. The movie was translated to English, titled <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7502234/">little tickles</a>. It is an exemplary example of how families may deal with Child Sexual Abuse.</p>

<p><a href="https://invidious.fdn.fr/embed/2bryzG7bG3c">A trailer of the movie can be watched on invidious</a>.&#39;</p>

<p>For me the movie was an eye opener on a politically incorrect truth. Mothers too are responsible for child sexual abuse. And the increasing data suggests women are no better then men at the subject.</p>

<p>In 2020 Kristin Jones as victim offered an inspirational ted talk: <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/kristin_jones_why_children_stay_silent_following_sexual_violence">Why children stay silent following sexual violence</a>.</p>

<div style="max-width:854px"><div style="position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%"><iframe src="https://embed.ted.com/talks/lang/en/kristin_jones_why_children_stay_silent_following_sexual_violence" width="854" height="480" style="position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div>

<p>Yes, some of the data she refers to might not be entirely up-to-date or correct. And there are a few gender discriminations creeping in there. But that&#39;s not important. Her sharing of her personal experience is an example testimony of what happens among the 90% of child sexual abuse cases, and sheds light on what needs to change.</p>

<h2 id="so-what-should-we-do" id="so-what-should-we-do">So what should we do?</h2>

<p>Wrongdoing will happen in the group of peers, among children. Repression against children is not the answer. Support, awareness and reparation are.</p>

<p>Based on the neurological evidence, the law should seek to increase the age of consent. As far as I am concerned, at least to 18 if not higher. The duly necessary exceptions to the law, acknowledging children&#39;s exploration, should render the age of consent wholly dependent on three pillars:</p>
<ul><li>objective assessment there is discernment</li>
<li>establishment there is absence of elements of abuse such as influence and coercion</li>
<li>exclusively within the group of peers</li></ul>

<p>Surprise: International law and jurisprudence already allows for much of this “flexibility” concerning consensual sexual conduct in the group of peers. It is just we do not apply nor use it because no law can assess the individual level.</p>

<p>Only people who are truly competent and experienced can try to provide a personal opinion assessment. And there is a chronic lack of them, everywhere. And it is in the nature of people to make mistakes. Expert mistakes are as human as unpardonable in matters of Child Sexual Abuse.</p>

<p>In time, I am confident law will acknowledge neurology to determine whether an individual is of age of consent or not. Much like it has the capacity to <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/objectively-determining-sexual-violence-is-a-threat">objectively determine who has been victim of child sexual abuse, and who is falsely accusing</a>.</p>

<h2 id="my-thoughts" id="my-thoughts">my thoughts</h2>

<p>Child sexual abuse has been part of humanity since times immemorial, and will remain part of our societies no matter what we do or wish to counter it. It doesn&#39;t mean it is not our duty to work and act against it.</p>

<p>The first change is how we all look at and deal with child sexual abuse.</p>

<p>Our adult culture and praxis of ego, honour, shame, silencing, ... being valued as more important then a child&#39;s needs being dealt with appropriately, must be stopped.</p>

<p>We don&#39;t need to teach children. We need to teach adults, parents and the close circle of trust in particular. Adults need to learn appropriate communication on the subject. Among themselves and towards children. An atmosphere of non judgement as a warm, secure, trustworthy blanket. In this way, also false allegations of children can be dealt with in a sane and future life constructive way.</p>

<p>Stand by children victims and children perpetrators. And particularly stand up against adult set ways and perpetrators. No matter the age consideration. And realise since as a society we condemn sexual abuse between adults, shouldn&#39;t we start with addressing sexual violence against and among children with as much fervour?</p>

<blockquote><p>Moreover, <em>sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual</em>, in fact, if not in law. In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them.

      <title>New laws won’t help: the doggy-style clip</title>
      <link>https://childrenforstatus.eu/new-laws-wont-help-the-doggy-style-clip?pk_campaign=rss-feed</link>
      <description>&lt;![CDATA[This weekend I was outraged. Twitter suddenly proposed in the “for you” feed a tweet by someone publicly crying outrage in disgust of a movie posted on tiktok. A child sexual abuse in the family sphere clip.&#xA;!--more--&#xA;&#xA;A guest post I wrote for HAVOCA&#xA;&#xA;The scene&#xA;&#xA;The movie depicts a family/friends gathering in a home setting around a private pool. You see adults around the pool in their bathing suits, some with a beer in hand, seemingly having a relaxing afternoon among friends at home with the kids playing in the pool.&#xA;&#xA;Everyone seems civil and swimsuit dressed. But… not for the faint of heart…&#xA;&#xA;The to me seemingly adolescent girl playing in the pool is bent forward holding the pool side, whipping her bum up and down doggy style against the crutch of the to me pre-adolescent boy. They are ”playing” an adult act, with their swimsuits on. And they seem to enjoy themselves.&#xA;&#xA;The adults move around the pool not even paying attention to the kids ”playing”. And one adult who seems to be lying down on a pool long chair is filming the family/friendly afternoon vibe around the pool, with the kids scene front and centre.&#xA;&#xA;None of the adults reacts. Are you with me? NO ONE (RE)ACTS !&#xA;&#xA;Where are your boundaries?&#xA;&#xA;Acceptable because the kids have their swimsuits on?&#xA;Acceptable because they are kids among themselves, and there is no adult involved directly in the act?&#xA;Acceptable because it is set around adult friends/family who surely are adequate in judging what’s right or wrong behaviour of their kids?&#xA;&#xA;Allow me to enlighten you: Each and everyone of these adults ought to be in jail, and these children need protection from these adults as well as specialist psychiatric support.&#xA;&#xA;The legal paradise&#xA;&#xA;The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child(1989), particularly its Optional protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography(2002), and the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse(2010) are clear.&#xA;&#xA;I’ve published about the legal requirements before, but in short:&#xA;&#xA;Any person suspecting any child sexual abuse MUST report it.&#xA;Once reported the concerned child(ren) MUST be protected immediately, and the alleged abuse MUST be examined.&#xA;Any and all potential evidence MUST be retrieved, received and examined by authorities.&#xA;&#xA;And if there is any doubt as to what is child sexual abuse, it is perfectly defined in the Terminology Guidelines for the protection of children from sexual exploitation and sexual abuse.&#xA;&#xA;While these international laws do not leave any room for interpretation and are executionary, … they have not diminished child sexual abuse.&#xA;&#xA;It is not because these laws have their own international monitoring bodies overlooking states are correctly executing them that states, or their societies, endeavour to deal with child sexual abuse willingly or adequately.&#xA;&#xA;The world is only painstakingly slowly opening up to the realisation child sexual abuse is a widespread phenomenon having no gender or status.&#xA;&#xA;Particularly child sexual abuse in the family sphere, in the circle of trust, is still subject to the most stringent of taboos. And it allegedly accounts for up to 90% of all child sexual abuse.&#xA;&#xA;The voiding of “must act” is prerogative by ourselves&#xA;&#xA;Excuses are servants of silence in our societies. Honour and ego still win, fuelling deliberate amnesia and disbelief. “Other people’s distress” has more importance then the “victims hardship”. The “adult perpetrators” are more important then the “children victims”.&#xA;&#xA;Perpetrators are depicted credible and deemed mentally stable.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This weekend I was outraged. Twitter suddenly proposed in the “for you” feed a tweet by someone publicly crying outrage in disgust of a movie posted on tiktok. A child sexual abuse in the family sphere clip.
</p>

<p><img src="https://i.snap.as/emoI5dZu.jpg" alt=""/></p>

<p><em>A guest post I wrote for <a href="https://www.havoca.org/new-laws-wont-help-the-doggy-style-clip/">HAVOCA</a></em></p>

<h2 id="the-scene" id="the-scene">The scene</h2>

<p>The movie depicts a family/friends gathering in a home setting around a private pool. You see adults around the pool in their bathing suits, some with a beer in hand, seemingly having a relaxing afternoon among friends at home with the kids playing in the pool.</p>

<p>Everyone seems civil and swimsuit dressed. But… not for the faint of heart…</p>

<p>The to me seemingly adolescent girl playing in the pool is bent forward holding the pool side, whipping her bum up and down doggy style against the crutch of the to me pre-adolescent boy. They are <em>”playing”</em> an adult act, with their swimsuits on. And they seem to enjoy themselves.</p>

<p>The adults move around the pool not even paying attention to the kids <em>”playing”</em>. And one adult who seems to be lying down on a pool long chair is filming the family/friendly afternoon vibe around the pool, with the kids scene front and centre.</p>

<p>None of the adults reacts. Are you with me? NO ONE (RE)ACTS !</p>

<p>Where are your boundaries?</p>
<ul><li>Acceptable because the kids have their swimsuits on?</li>
<li>Acceptable because they are kids among themselves, and there is no adult involved directly in the act?</li>
<li>Acceptable because it is set around adult friends/family who surely are adequate in judging what’s right or wrong behaviour of their kids?</li></ul>

<p>Allow me to enlighten you: Each and everyone of these adults ought to be in jail, and these children need protection from these adults as well as specialist psychiatric support.</p>

<h2 id="the-legal-paradise" id="the-legal-paradise">The legal paradise</h2>

<p>The <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/crc.pdf">United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child</a>(1989), particularly its <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/crc-sale.pdf">Optional protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography</a>(2002), and the <a href="https://rm.coe.int/1680084822">Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse</a>(2010) are clear.</p>

<p><a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/part-1-who-must-act-in-csiv-according-to-international-law">I’ve published about the legal requirements before</a>, but in short:</p>

<p>Any person suspecting any child sexual abuse MUST report it.
Once reported the concerned child(ren) MUST be protected immediately, and the alleged abuse MUST be examined.
Any and all potential evidence MUST be retrieved, received and examined by authorities.</p>

<p>And if there is any doubt as to what is child sexual abuse, it is perfectly defined in the <a href="https://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/---ed_norm/---ipec/documents/instructionalmaterial/wcms_490167.pdf">Terminology Guidelines for the protection of children from sexual exploitation and sexual abuse</a>.</p>

<p>While these international laws do not leave any room for interpretation and are executionary, … they have not diminished child sexual abuse.</p>

<p>It is not because these laws have their own international monitoring bodies overlooking states are correctly executing them that states, or their societies, endeavour to deal with child sexual abuse willingly or adequately.</p>

<p>The world is only painstakingly slowly opening up to the realisation child sexual abuse is a widespread phenomenon having no gender or status.</p>

<p>Particularly child sexual abuse in the family sphere, in the circle of trust, is still subject to the most stringent of taboos. And it allegedly accounts for up to 90% of all child sexual abuse.</p>

<h2 id="the-voiding-of-must-act-is-prerogative-by-ourselves" id="the-voiding-of-must-act-is-prerogative-by-ourselves">The voiding of “must act” is prerogative by ourselves</h2>

<p>Excuses are servants of silence in our societies. Honour and ego still win, fuelling deliberate amnesia and disbelief. “Other people’s distress” has more importance then the “victims hardship”. The “adult perpetrators” are more important then the “children victims”.</p>

<p>Perpetrators are depicted credible and deemed mentally stable. (Child) Victims by nature are unreliable in their account, and it is found their mental health is challenged. Whether right or wrong, this is the starting status quo a (child) victim faces climbing out of the shadow.</p>

<p>Where does that come from?</p>

<p>Imagine you, non victim, as adult, being pointed as a child sex abusing perpetrator.
Or imagine someone in your family being pointed as child sex offender.
You’d feel stigmatised for life. And sadly people do get condemned on false allegations, too.</p>

<p>Because none of us can tolerate that adult stigma, righting a wronged victim has no place. Evidence is willingly doubted, disbelieved and dismissed. Claimed credibility is virtually always made to win over victim experience under the “reasonable doubt” narrative.</p>

<p>Consequently, regardless of the very clear laws on child sexual abuse, other laws still get enacted to protect perpetrators. The millennia old praxis of omerta on child sexual abuse is made to prevail. Society is kept numb and dumb on the length and breath of the heinous phenomenon, so the adult public does not need to face reality.</p>

<h2 id="solution" id="solution">Solution?</h2>

<p>Booyah ! Meet the international, global, concerted initiative to end online child sexual abuse. A massive marketing machine is crunching everyone into the target solution: make a new law which makes child sexual abuse invisible again.</p>

<p>Yet the offline protecting laws exist, have existed for decennia, and never been properly executed. Online child sexual abuse has its origin offline, always. Existing laws include provisions against online distribution of child sexual abuse material.</p>

<p>Yet, we all stand screaming for these new anti-online-child-sexual-abuse laws in firm belief they will change the world. They will not change anything, other then probably facilitate the non execution of existing laws even more.</p>

<p>Shouldn’t we first deal with the 90% of child sexual abuse? Perpetrated in the close circle of trust, in the family sphere?</p>

<p>Why do we fool ourselves? Shouldn’t we need to change the culture and praxis? Come together as one voice, holding authorities accountable? And see to existing laws finally being executed?</p>

      <title>Incest according to Manon Schick</title>
      <link>https://childrenforstatus.eu/incest-according-to-manon-schick?pk_campaign=rss-feed</link>
      <description>&lt;![CDATA[Manon Schick (MS) is the former Amnesty International Switzerland director and current child and adult protection director of the Vaud canton. What&#39;s her take on incest in Switzerland?&#xA;!--more--&#xA;&#xA;I&#39;m not forgetting the series on Christian Fellrath, the ghost of Swiss child abuse, is not finished, read on ...&#xA;&#xA;In January and February 2021 MS went public on the subject of incest. She acknowledged in radio and television interviews that even if her office has strong indications allegations of sexual abuse are not true.&#xA;&#xA;International executionary conventions demand indeed for any allegation to be taken seriously, and children to be protected from the alleged perpetrators until proven not guilty. It puts pressure on the system to ensure the quickest possible resolution, and for cases to not drag on for many years. Conventions are also explicit in the time and urgency in allegations of children and sexual abuse.&#xA;&#xA;This is indeed what the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, its optional protocols, the Council of Europe Lanzarote Convention, and other international instruments command.&#xA;&#xA;What did Manon Schick say to the public?&#xA;&#xA;I&#39;ll not spend too much time on this, as you can obviously browse for her accounts in the Swiss media. Bullet-point style, incest is according to her:&#xA;&#xA;the most difficult to combat form of child abuse, because ...&#xA;taboo in the public sphere, there is no public debate, it is still considered a myth, and therefore people do not know what child sexual abuse is&#xA;90% of child sexual abuse is committed by someone in the family sphere&#xA;only 2 to 11 condemned per year, very few dare to file criminal complaints&#xA;the most hidden form of child abuse due to threats and hardship if daring to speak. An imposed secret for which the child doesn&#39;t know if it is normal, triggering a mechanism of defence to forget, which sometimes only comes back 20-30 years later&#xA;total lack of data in Switzerland, no reason for the data/situation to be different in Switzerland&#xA;lack of political accountability, and federalism is a barrier to tackling the issue&#xA;&#xA;She hoped that in Switzerland the public would keep the subject in the media so things may change. Alas, Swiss confidentiality DNA rules: no one speaks of child sexual abuse perpetrated in the family sphere in Switzerland.&#xA;&#xA;Contacting Manon Schick&#xA;&#xA;On February 24th and 25th 2021 I contacted MS about the child protection services in Neuchatel not acting in the face of evidence of child sexual abuse.&#xA;&#xA;On March 3rd 2021 MS responds:&#xA;&#xA;  J’ai transmis vos courriels à M. Christian Fellrath, chef du Service de protection de l&#39;adulte et de la jeunesse de Neuchâtel, comme objet de sa compétence. Celui-ci reviendra vers vous afin de répondre à votre demande.&#xA;    I have forwarded your e-mails to Mr. Christian Fellrath, Head of the Neuchâtel Adult and Youth Protection Service, as a matter subject to his authority. He will get back to you to answer your request.&#xA;&#xA;On March 9th 2021 she responds:&#xA;&#xA;  Je comprends bien la situation difficile dans laquelle vous vous trouvez. Toutefois, les cantons suisses sont des entités différentes dans le domaine de la protection de l&#39;enfance et ils ne peuvent interférer dans les procédures des autres cantons.  En d&#39;autres termes, c&#39;est comme si vous demandiez à une cheffe de service en Belgique de s&#39;occuper d&#39;une situation dans un autre pays. C&#39;est pour cela que je vous ai indiqué ne pas pouvoir me prononcer et avoir transmis votre courriel à M. Christian Fellrath, chef du Service de protection de l&#39;adulte et de la jeunesse de Neuchâtel, comme objet de sa compétence. Si vous estimez que le service précité n&#39;agit pas de manière correcte, vous pouvez vous adresser à la conseillère d&#39;Etat du canton de Neuchâtel.&#xA;    I understand the difficult situation you find yourself in. However, the Swiss cantons are different entities in the field of child protection and cannot interfere in the procedures of other cantons. In other words, it&#39;s like asking a head of department in Belgium to deal with a situation in another country. That&#39;s why I told you that I couldn&#39;t give you an opinion, and that I had forwarded your e-mail to Mr Christian Fellrath, Head of the Neuchâtel Adult and Youth Protection Service, as a matter of his responsibility. If you feel that the aforementioned department is not acting correctly, you can contact the State Councillor of the Canton of Neuchâtel.&#xA;&#xA;On June 1st 2023 I asked whether there was a child sexual abuse protocol in the canton Vaud and/or federal protocol. On June 16th 2021 her secretary responds on behalf of MS:&#xA;&#xA;  Il n&#39;y a pas de protocole particulier dans le canton de Vaud en matière d&#39;abus sexuels. Par contre, nous travaillons de manière régulière avec les deux organismes suivants :&#xA;  - Association ESPAS : https://www.espas.info/&#xA;  - Centre LAVI : https://www.profa.ch/services-2/centre-lavi/&#xA;  Nous n’avons par ailleurs pas connaissance d&#39;un protocole fédéral à ce sujet.&#xA;    There is no specific protocol in the canton of Vaud concerning sexual abuse. However, we work regularly with the following two organizations:&#xA;  - Association ESPAS: https://www.espas.info/&#xA;  - Center LAVI: https://www.profa.ch/services-2/centre-lavi/&#xA;  We are not aware of any federal protocol on this subject.&#xA;&#xA;I thanked MS for her responses and action, which were coherent with International Instruments: obligation to act, denounce, help victims to the extend possible in light of children victims and perpetrators not physically present in her jurisdiction.&#xA;&#xA;ESPAS was discussed in an earlier post. The gender bias, corrupt and human rights violating LAVI will be the subject of a separate post later.&#xA;&#xA;conclusion&#xA;&#xA;We know from these contacts with MS that CF was duly informed by his inter cantonal colleague on the subject of his office&#39;s denial of child sexual abuse, to which he was due to respond to me directly, and to which he never responded. It also acknowledges there is no federal or cantonal child sexual abuse protocol and a lack of political accountability on the subject.&#xA;&#xA;From the previous post we know CF is responsible for having closed the parliamentary sexual abuse commission back in 2007, and nothing has replaced it.&#xA;&#xA;Do you need more elements for CF&#39;s omerta on the subject?&#xA;&#xA;Series on Christian Fellrath, director of the Adult and Child Protection Services:&#xA;&#xA;part 1 { the ghost of child and adult protection services }&#xA;part 2 { the failing of initiatives against child abuse }&#xA;part 3 { (child) sexual violence parliamentary commission: canceled }&#xA;part 4 { Incest according to Manon Schick}&#xA;part 5 { What&#39;s the fuss about not bringing children to a court order about?}&#xA;&#xA;Tags: #Rights #Sexual&#xA;&#xA;---&#xA;&#xA;A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.&#xA;This blog gets the proverbial pants on!&#xA;&#xA;---&#xA;&#xA;information provided as is, without prejudice, without any prejudicial recognition, and with reservation of all rights, expressly without recognition of any Swiss competence which remains contested&#xA;&#xA;for the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, all information on this blog, such as but not limited to documents and/or audio recordings and/or video recordings and/or pictures mentioned, have been made and/or collected, and published, in the interest of justice and the public at large&#xA;&#xA;the Universal Declaration of Human Rights applies to everything on this blog&#xA;&#xA;the Universal Right to Truth principle applies to everything on this blog&#xA;&#xA;© Copyright 2023 ]]&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;![CDATA[Intimidation, lies and threats by judiciary. The authorities revert to practising the Swiss national pastime of repression, retaliating against and persecuting whistleblowers. Is the pressure building?!--more--&#xA;&#xA;Wednesday the Magistrate&#39;s Council replied to the week 20 denunciation of rights violations by authorities.&#xA;&#xA;What is the Magistrate&#39;s council?&#xA;&#xA;You can find the details directly on their web site.&#xA;&#xA;The Conseil de la magistrature is the supervisory authority for judicial authorities and magistrates.&#xA;It ensures that the judicial system functions properly.&#xA;It is responsible for the administrative supervision of the judicial authorities and the disciplinary supervision of members of the judiciary.&#xA;&#xA;It is the Magistrate&#39;s Council (CM) responsibility to make sure the judicial system works properly, to supervise the judicial authorities and take disciplinary action when things break horribly down. It is supposed to examine violations brought to its attention.&#xA;&#xA;This includes overseeing the judiciary does not violate Human Rights, International Instruments, Swiss or cantonal laws.&#xA;&#xA;If there is corruption among the system, the CM is responsible and supposed to take the necessary action too.&#xA;&#xA;What has the Magistrate&#39;s Council been duly made aware of?&#xA;&#xA;Every email the CM has received has indicated violations of:&#xA;&#xA;access to justice, which is a fundamental and universal Human Right as per the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and many other international instruments;&#xA;jurisdiction attribution;&#xA;the United Nations Convention Against Corruption by repression, retaliation against and persecution of whistleblower;&#xA;failure to protect, and endanger, witness and victim rights, including children.&#xA;&#xA;In addition the CM has been duly informed of:&#xA;&#xA;corruption among its ranks&#xA;destruction of evidence by the judiciary&#xA;&#xA;Arabelly Scyboz (ASC) and the CM of which ASC is president are fully aware of these violations, which fall under their authority to investigate and remedy, and have in full knowledge, deliberately, failed to address.&#xA;&#xA;In a Human Rights violation aggravating move, ASC has banned electronic correspondence, repeatedly. In so doing she violates not only access to justice, she violates the very rules on which a properly functioning judiciary is based. The judiciary rules of electronic communication.&#xA;&#xA;We&#39;ve published in the 4 part series about how the Swiss judiciary authorities violate international law on electronic communication.&#xA;&#xA;Commission by omission: child sexual abuse&#xA;&#xA;Both international instruments and Swiss law foresee any Swiss authority to whom&#39;s attention has been brought child abuse is obligated to act, even if there is no obvious or apparent evidence of it.&#xA;&#xA;In light of the CM and ASC being fully aware of the existence of recordings as evidence of the heinous crimes, and the fact they dismiss their responsibility, there is at least commission by omission of child sexual abuse by the CM and its president.&#xA;&#xA;Wednesday&#39;s answer by the Magistrate&#39;s council&#xA;&#xA;The Wednesday received answer of the CM is quite something:&#xA;&#xA;Lying to a non legal scholar civilian about the CM responsibilities;&#xA;defamation of a victim-witness-whistleblower seeking assistance and protection;&#xA;and threatening a victim with retaliation and repressive action.&#xA;&#xA;Let&#39;s start with the email and its internet translation.&#xA;&#xA;  Sir,&#xA;  We would ask you urgently to cease your as numerous as ill-timed correspondences to the magistrate&#39;s council and directly to Mrs Scyboz. &#xA;  Neither are involved or competent to give any kind of response.&#xA;  We hope that our letter will be followed up in order to avoid us being obliged to consider taking other provisions or measures.&#xA;&#xA;Let&#39;s get into the message bit by bit.&#xA;&#xA;  ... numerous ... correspondences&#xA;&#xA;The amount of Human Rights violations by the Swiss judiciary are &#34;numerous&#34;. Every week new violations, of which it is my duty to inform them.&#xA;&#xA;The magistrate&#39;s council as you know get 1 email per week. Not more. And the only reason they receive an email is the non addressing of Human Rights violations.&#xA;&#xA;As such, the Numerous correspondences claim is nothing short of defamation, attacking the victim-witness-whistleblower, who they have a duty, unalienable obligation, to protect.&#xA;&#xA;  ... Ill-timed correspondences ...&#xA;&#xA;It is not because the CM has potentially been on holiday that the Human Rights violations which they need to be informed of have stopped. Are they suggesting during their holidays they should not receive correspondences concerning Human Rights Violations?&#xA;&#xA;If so, no auto reply or other information was received from the Magistrate&#39;s Council. Other authorities did have autoreplies.&#xA;&#xA;Or would it mean Human Rights violations by the judiciary are OK when the CM is on holiday? Let&#39;s not be silly here.&#xA;&#xA;I conclude it is nothing short of defamation geared towards the person who dares standing up for rights instead of geared towards the Human Rights violating perpetrators in the judiciary.&#xA;&#xA;  to the magistrate&#39;s council and directly to Mrs Scyboz&#xA;&#xA;Should I understand ASC secretary is not aware their boss illegally banned the receiving of denunciations concerning issues of their responsibility?&#xA;&#xA;It is a severe Human Rights violation to ban access to justice, particularly by the highest judiciary authority who should be fully aware of the rules.&#xA;&#xA;Bullying in an attempt to divert responsibility of the correspondence banning by Swiss authorities should one day the public scrutiny call for their accountability?&#xA;&#xA;  Neither are involved or competent to give any kind of response.&#xA;&#xA;Blatant and deliberate lie to deceive and bully a non legal scholar civilian. Issues are, as indicated higher in this post, their responsibility to deal with. It says so on their web site.&#xA;&#xA;The highest judicial authority seeking to dismiss responsibility by lying to civilians is a heinous human rights violation. Seeking to cover up the non working of the system in this way will only aggravate the crimes they have so far collegially committed by deliberate omission to investigate.&#xA;&#xA;  We hope that our letter will be followed up in order to avoid us being obliged to consider taking other provisions or measures.&#xA;&#xA;Let me rephrase in the non jargon language of regular people.&#xA;&#xA;&#34;If you don&#39;t shut up, we&#39;re going to do something, which we&#39;re not telling you what, to you&#34;&#xA;&#xA;You read this right. This is the highest judicial authority issuing a threat to a non legal scholar civilian - victim, witness, whistleblower - seeking access to justice and protection from judicial corruption and deliberate wrongdoing.&#xA;&#xA;It is the kind of scene having its place on kids playgrounds. Not in a place of judicial authority.&#xA;&#xA;Magistrate Council obligations&#xA;&#xA;It is the CM obligation to denounce the heinous crimes of the system it is chief of, and provide protection from ongoing:&#xA;&#xA;denial of access to justice;&#xA;illegal judgements and court proceedings;&#xA;corruption;&#xA;organised pay-for-contract child kidnapping from 4 countries;&#xA;sexual abuse of children;&#xA;psychological abuse of children;&#xA;repression, retaliation against and persecution of whistleblower;&#xA;&#xA;And more...&#xA;&#xA;The refusal to denounce and provide protection, and the lying and threatening by the CM is no other then an effort to cover up the state&#39;s active involvement in criminality and corruption.&#xA;&#xA;You can not claim Switzerland would be a civilised Human Rights and rule-of-law respecting nation, whilst its highest judicial authority leads the example of wrongdoing. In any civilised society, this sort of behaviour is punishable by law. In Switzerland, I am certain, the cover-up machine is desperately in full swing.&#xA;&#xA;I&#39;ve said it before and I reiterate: it is the Swiss national sport to violate Human Rights and persecute those who dare to point Swiss authorities wrongdoing.&#xA;&#xA;I reiterate, should there be any doubt, having some 500 hours of recordings and documents as evidence to substantiate what I write about. I appreciate that must hurt Swiss authorities ego.&#xA;&#xA;I appreciate the Universal Right to Truth is not something the Swiss are akin to, nor that they respect their country&#39;s international obligations under international law.&#xA;&#xA;Those who have followed the blog will know by now: I will not stop until such time those authorities responsible for heinous Human Rights violations are held accountable, and the Universal Right to Truth prevails.&#xA;&#xA;Feel the heat? Understand why they scramble to lie, repress, retaliate and persecute those who dare speak up? There&#39;s plenty more to come ...&#xA;&#xA;P.S.: I&#39;ll most probably not respond to the email before Monday, there&#39;s something happening behind the scenes which I can&#39;t yet talk about.

<p><img src="https://i.snap.as/K15Yd4lS.jpg" alt=""/></p>

<p>Wednesday the Magistrate&#39;s Council replied to the week 20 denunciation of rights violations by authorities.</p>

<h2 id="what-is-the-magistrate-s-council" id="what-is-the-magistrate-s-council">What is the Magistrate&#39;s council?</h2>

<p>You can find the details <a href="https://www.ne.ch/autorites/PJNE/Pages/ConseilMagistrature.aspx">directly on their web site</a>.</p>

<p>The <em>Conseil de la magistrature</em> is the supervisory authority for judicial authorities and magistrates.
It ensures that the judicial system functions properly.
It is responsible for the administrative supervision of the judicial authorities and the disciplinary supervision of members of the judiciary.</p>

<p>It is the Magistrate&#39;s Council (CM) responsibility to make sure the judicial system works properly, to supervise the judicial authorities and take disciplinary action when things break horribly down. It is supposed to examine violations brought to its attention.</p>

<p>This includes overseeing the judiciary does not violate Human Rights, International Instruments, Swiss or cantonal laws.</p>

<p>If there is corruption among the system, the CM is responsible and supposed to take the necessary action too.</p>

<h2 id="what-has-the-magistrate-s-council-been-duly-made-aware-of" id="what-has-the-magistrate-s-council-been-duly-made-aware-of">What has the Magistrate&#39;s Council been duly made aware of?</h2>

<p>Every email the CM has received has indicated violations of:</p>
<ul><li>access to justice, which is a fundamental and universal Human Right as per the <a href="https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights">Universal Declaration of Human Rights</a> and many other international instruments;</li>
<li>jurisdiction attribution;</li>
<li>the <a href="https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/treaties/CAC/">United Nations Convention Against Corruption</a> by repression, retaliation against and persecution of whistleblower;</li>
<li>failure to protect, and endanger, witness and victim rights, including children.</li></ul>

<p>In addition the CM has been duly informed of:</p>
<ul><li>corruption among its ranks</li>
<li>destruction of evidence by the judiciary</li></ul>

<p>Arabelly Scyboz (ASC) and the CM of which ASC is president are fully aware of these violations, which fall under their authority to investigate and remedy, and have in full knowledge, deliberately, failed to address.</p>

<p>In a Human Rights violation aggravating move, ASC has <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/swiss-criminal-justice-system-neuchatel-magitrates-council-bans-correspondence">banned</a> electronic correspondence, <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/again-neuchatel-magistrates-council-bans-correspondence-again">repeatedly</a>. In so doing she violates not only access to justice, she violates the very rules on which a properly functioning judiciary is based. The judiciary rules of electronic communication.</p>

<p>We&#39;ve published <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/any-international-judiciary-standards-for-email">in the 4 part series</a> about how the Swiss judiciary authorities violate international law on electronic communication.</p>

<h2 id="commission-by-omission-child-sexual-abuse" id="commission-by-omission-child-sexual-abuse">Commission by omission: child sexual abuse</h2>

<p>Both international instruments and Swiss law foresee any Swiss authority to whom&#39;s attention has been brought child abuse <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/sexual-violence-against-children-who-should-act">is obligated to act</a>, even if there is no obvious or apparent evidence of it.</p>

<p>In light of the CM and ASC being fully aware of the existence of recordings as evidence of the heinous crimes, and the fact they dismiss their responsibility, there is at least <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/part-2-swiss-authorities-hot-potato-pushing-in-child-sexual-violence">commission by omission</a> of child sexual abuse by the CM and its president.</p>

<h2 id="wednesday-s-answer-by-the-magistrate-s-council" id="wednesday-s-answer-by-the-magistrate-s-council">Wednesday&#39;s answer by the Magistrate&#39;s council</h2>

<p>The Wednesday received answer of the CM is quite something:</p>
<ul><li>Lying to a non legal scholar civilian about the CM responsibilities;</li>
<li>defamation of a victim-witness-whistleblower seeking assistance and protection;</li>
<li>and threatening a victim with retaliation and repressive action.</li></ul>

<p>Let&#39;s start with the email and its internet translation.</p>

<p><img src="https://i.snap.as/RqQWBIeW.jpg" alt=""/></p>

<blockquote><p>Sir,
We would ask you <em>urgently to cease</em> your as numerous as ill-timed correspondences to the magistrate&#39;s council and directly to Mrs Scyboz.
Neither are involved or competent to give any kind of response.
We hope that our letter will be followed up in order to avoid us being obliged to consider taking other provisions or measures.</p></blockquote>

<p>Let&#39;s get into the message bit by bit.</p>

<blockquote><p>... numerous ... correspondences</p></blockquote>

<p>The amount of Human Rights violations by the Swiss judiciary are <em>“numerous”</em>. Every week new violations, of which it is my duty to inform them.</p>

<p>The magistrate&#39;s council as you know get 1 email per week. Not more. And the only reason they receive an email is the non addressing of Human Rights violations.</p>

<p>As such, the <em>Numerous correspondences</em> claim is nothing short of defamation, attacking the victim-witness-whistleblower, who they have a duty, unalienable obligation, to protect.</p>

<blockquote><p>... Ill-timed correspondences ...</p></blockquote>

<p>It is not because the CM has potentially been on holiday that the Human Rights violations which they need to be informed of have stopped. Are they suggesting during their holidays they should not receive correspondences concerning Human Rights Violations?</p>

<p>If so, no auto reply or other information was received from the Magistrate&#39;s Council. <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/electronic-communication-bites-back-at-child-rights-violating-swiss-authorities">Other authorities did have autoreplies</a>.</p>

<p>Or would it mean Human Rights violations by the judiciary are OK when the CM is on holiday? Let&#39;s not be silly here.</p>

<p>I conclude it is nothing short of defamation geared towards the person who dares standing up for rights instead of geared towards the Human Rights violating perpetrators in the judiciary.</p>

<blockquote><p>to the magistrate&#39;s council and directly to Mrs Scyboz</p></blockquote>

<p>Should I understand ASC secretary is not aware their boss <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/swiss-criminal-justice-system-neuchatel-magitrates-council-bans-correspondence">illegally banned the receiving of denunciations</a> concerning issues of their responsibility?</p>

<p>It is a severe Human Rights violation to ban access to justice, particularly by the <a href="https://childrenforstatus.eu/swiss-judicial-electronic-communication-conclusion-human-rights-violations">highest judiciary authority who should be fully aware of the rules</a>.</p>

<p>Bullying in an attempt to divert responsibility of the correspondence banning by Swiss authorities should one day the public scrutiny call for their accountability?</p>

<blockquote><p>Neither are involved or competent to give any kind of response.</p></blockquote>

<p>Blatant and deliberate lie to deceive and bully a non legal scholar civilian. Issues are, as indicated higher in this post, their responsibility to deal with. <a href="https://www.ne.ch/autorites/PJNE/Pages/ConseilMagistrature.aspx">It says so on their web site</a>.</p>

<p>The highest judicial authority seeking to dismiss responsibility by lying to civilians is a heinous human rights violation. Seeking to cover up the non working of the system in this way will only aggravate the crimes they have so far collegially committed by deliberate omission to investigate.</p>

<blockquote><p>We hope that our letter will be followed up in order to avoid us being obliged to consider taking other provisions or measures.</p></blockquote>

<p>Let me rephrase in the non jargon language of regular people.</p>

<p><em>“If you don&#39;t shut up, we&#39;re going to do something, which we&#39;re not telling you what, to you”</em></p>

<p>You read this right. This is the highest judicial authority issuing a threat to a non legal scholar civilian – victim, witness, whistleblower – seeking access to justice and protection from judicial corruption and deliberate wrongdoing.</p>

<p>It is the kind of scene having its place on kids playgrounds. Not in a place of judicial authority.</p>

<h2 id="magistrate-council-obligations" id="magistrate-council-obligations">Magistrate Council obligations</h2>

<p>It is the CM obligation to denounce the heinous crimes of the system it is chief of, and provide protection from ongoing:</p>
<ul><li>denial of access to justice;</li>
<li>illegal judgements and court proceedings;</li>
<li>corruption;</li>
<li>organised pay-for-contract child kidnapping from 4 countries;</li>
<li>sexual abuse of children;</li>
<li>psychological abuse of children;</li>
<li>repression, retaliation against and persecution of whistleblower;</li></ul>

<p>And more...</p>

<p>The refusal to denounce and provide protection, and the lying and threatening by the CM is no other then an effort to cover up the state&#39;s active involvement in criminality and corruption.</p>

<p>You can not claim Switzerland would be a civilised Human Rights and rule-of-law respecting nation, whilst its highest judicial authority leads the example of wrongdoing. In any civilised society, this sort of behaviour is punishable by law. In Switzerland, I am certain, the cover-up machine is desperately in full swing.</p>

<p>I&#39;ve said it before and I reiterate: it is the Swiss national sport to violate Human Rights and persecute those who dare to point Swiss authorities wrongdoing.</p>

<p>I reiterate, should there be any doubt, having some 500 hours of recordings and documents as evidence to substantiate what I write about. I appreciate that must hurt Swiss authorities ego.</p>

<p>I appreciate the Universal Right to Truth is not something the Swiss are akin to, nor that they respect their country&#39;s international obligations under international law.</p>

<p>Those who have followed the blog will know by now: I will not stop until such time those authorities responsible for heinous Human Rights violations are held accountable, and the Universal Right to Truth prevails.</p>

<p>Feel the heat? Understand why they scramble to lie, repress, retaliate and persecute those who dare speak up? There&#39;s plenty more to come ...</p>

<p><em>P.S.: I&#39;ll most probably not respond to the email before Monday, there&#39;s something happening behind the scenes which I can&#39;t yet talk about. Maybe Monday. Suspense ...</em></p>

      <title>the Committee on the Rights of the Child latest report on Switzerland</title>
      <link>https://childrenforstatus.eu/the-committee-on-the-rights-of-the-child-latest-report-on-switzerland?pk_campaign=rss-feed</link>
      <description>&lt;![CDATA[The latest report on Switzerland by the United Nations Committee on the Right of the Child confirms long standing and ongoing structural wrongdoing by the Swiss state. An overview.&#xA;!--more--&#xA;I strongly suggest you read the report in full.&#xA;&#xA;The report underlines Switzerland&#39;s:&#xA;&#xA;Cantons are problematic and responsible for violating children&#39;s rights;&#xA;data collection and access is virtually non existent, harming transparency and Human Rights;&#xA;ongoing refusal to have a government watchdog capable of receiving and examining complaints from the public;&#xA;discrimination is part of its DNA, and Swiss law does not provide to condemn it;&#xA;incorrect interpreting what is &#34;the good of the child&#34;;&#xA;improper dealing with violence against children and their protection in law and in praxis, because its child protection professionals, including judges and psychologists, lack competence;&#xA;as one of the wealthiest countries in the world unwillingness to tackle widespread child poverty within its borders;&#xA;violating one of the most basic human rights, access to justice, also for children;&#xA;inaction in the field of child sexual abuse;&#xA;disrespect for other Human Rights instruments, and has to learn working with the CoE. &#xA;&#xA;The CRC line-up of Swiss problems have many documented examples, from personal experience, already published on the blog. It is interesting to see that Switzerland is not, as people may claim and believe, a civilised and human rights respecting country. The United Nations CRC evaluating and reviewing Switzerland over years confirms Switzerland is problematic at best.&#xA;&#xA;For those interested, what follows is a copy-paste of various items from the report in more detail.&#xA;&#xA;Swiss Cantons are problematic and responsible for violating children&#39;s rights:&#xA;&#xA;  The Committee recommends that the State party ensure the compatibility of cantonal legislation with the Convention, and develop a child-rights impact assessment procedure for national legislation and policies relevant to children.&#xA;  Ensure that such a policy provides guidance for cantons on implementing the Convention, and includes a special focus on groups of children in vulnerable situations, including ... migrant children and children without a regular residence status.&#xA;&#xA;Swiss data collection and access is virtually non existent, harming transparency and Human Rights:&#xA;&#xA;  The Committee remains seriously concerned that the collection and analysis of data on the situation of children is fragmented and inconsistent across cantons, and that there is no centralized system of disaggregated data collection or data on certain groups of children in disadvantaged situations.&#xA;  Ensure that data is also collected and analysed on violence against children, including ... domestic and intercountry adoptions; missing children; and the situation of children in disadvantaged situations, including children in alternative care, ... migrant children, children without a regular residence status and children of incarcerated parents.&#xA;&#xA;Switzerland&#39;s ongoing refusal to have a government watchdog capable of receiving and examining complaints from the public:&#xA;&#xA;  The Committee ... regrets that the office will not have a mandate to receive and investigate complaints from children. The Committee reiterates its previous recommendations and further recommends that the State party:&#xA;  (a) Expeditiously establish the ombudsman for children’s rights with a mandate to regularly monitor and evaluate progress at both the federal and cantonal levels in the fulfilment of children’s rights under the Convention and to receive, investigate and address complaints from children in a child-friendly manner;&#xA;  (b) Ensure that independent mechanisms for human rights monitoring have adequate human, technical and financial resources to implement and monitor the application of the Convention;&#xA;  (c) Ensure full compliance with the principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (the Paris Principles).&#xA;&#xA;Discrimination is part of its DNA, and Swiss law does not provide to condemn it:&#xA;&#xA;  the Committee is concerned about de facto discrimination against children in disadvantaged situations, ... and that discrimination on all explicit grounds covered under the Convention, including sex, disability or socioeconomic or other status, is not prohibited under article 261 bis of the Criminal Code.&#xA;  The Committee recommends that the State party:&#xA;  (a) Ensure that all forms of discrimination, including on the basis of sex, disability and socioeconomic, residence or other status, are prohibited by law;&#xA;  (b) Ensure the full implementation of relevant laws prohibiting discrimination, including ... adequately sanctioning perpetrators, and removing procedural barriers that prevent child victims of discrimination from accessing justice and receiving remedies;&#xA;  (d) ... addressing the root causes of de facto discrimination, with a view to eliminating discrimination against children in disadvantaged situations, including ... migrant children ... and socioeconomically disadvantaged children.&#xA;&#xA;Switzerland incorrectly interprets what is &#34;the good of the child&#34;:&#xA;&#xA;  The Committee remains concerned that the concept of “the good of the child” in the Constitution does not correspond to the principle of the best interests of the child enshrined in the Convention, and has contributed to the insufficient implementation of the principle of the best interests of the child in decisions affecting children. Recalling its previous recommendations, the Committee recommends that the State party:&#xA;  (a) Ensure that the principle of the best interests of the child is consistently applied in programmes and administrative and judicial proceedings, including in relation to parental custody, placement in alternative care, and migration and asylum procedures;&#xA;  Develop operational procedures or protocols for professionals working with and for children to ensure that due weight is given to the views of children in all proceedings.&#xA;&#xA;Switzerland improperly deals with violence against children and their protection in law and in praxis, because its child protection professionals, including judges and psychologists, lack competence:&#xA;&#xA;  The Committee ... notes that the training provided to relevant professional groups is not systematic and that knowledge of children’s rights among such professionals remains insufficient. The Committee recommends, in line with its previous recommendations, that the State party:&#xA;  (b) Ensure systematic training on children’s rights and the Convention and the Optional Protocols thereto, including through the allocation of sufficient resources, for all professionals working for and with children, in particular those working in the areas of education, health, child protection, social protection, alternative care, justice and asylum.&#xA;  Ensure that laws on access to information and the digital environment, including the federal data protection law, ensure respect for children’s right to privacy, protect children from harmful content and materials and online risks, and provide for mechanisms to prosecute violations;&#xA;  (c) Enhance the digital literacy and skills of children, teachers and families, and protect children from information and material harmful to their well-being.&#xA;  Strengthen coordination among cantonal authorities and child protection specialists to implement multisectoral measures for the prevention and intervention of violence against children, and adopt indicators to monitor progress achieved in the prevention of violence and in combating factors underpinning violence against children at home, in school, in alternative care settings and within a child’s circle of trust;&#xA;  Strengthen efforts, including through increased human, technical and financial resources, to train professionals concerned to identify and adequately respond to cases of violence and child abuse, including psychological abuse, and establish reporting guidelines.&#xA;  Allocate adequate financial, technical and human resources for mental- health services and programmes to ensure that the number of qualified medical professionals, including child psychologists and psychiatrists, is sufficient to meet children’s mental-health needs in all cantons;&#xA;  (b) Strengthen measures to support health authorities to better diagnose mental-health problems among children&#xA;&#xA;As one of the wealthiest countries in the world Switzerland is unwilling to tackle widespread child poverty within its borders:&#xA;&#xA;  The Committee notes that the Federal Council is responsible for regular poverty monitoring but is concerned that the overall level of children living in poverty remains high, a situation that could be further exacerbated by the coronavirus disease (COVID- 19) pandemic, and that some children without a regular residence status or Swiss citizenship do not apply for social assistance as it may negatively affect their residence permit status.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest report on Switzerland by the United Nations Committee on the Right of the Child confirms long standing and ongoing structural wrongdoing by the Swiss state. An overview.

<em><a href="https://undocs.org/CRC/C/CHE/CO/5-6">I strongly suggest you read the report in full.</a></em></p>

<h3 id="the-report-underlines-switzerland-s" id="the-report-underlines-switzerland-s">The report underlines Switzerland&#39;s:</h3>
<ul><li>Cantons are problematic and responsible for violating children&#39;s rights;</li>
<li>data collection and access is virtually non existent, harming transparency and Human Rights;</li>
<li>ongoing refusal to have a government watchdog capable of receiving and examining complaints from the public;</li>
<li>discrimination is part of its DNA, and Swiss law does not provide to condemn it;</li>
<li>incorrect interpreting what is “the good of the child”;</li>
<li>improper dealing with violence against children and their protection in law and in praxis, because its child protection professionals, including judges and psychologists, lack competence;</li>
<li>as one of the wealthiest countries in the world unwillingness to tackle widespread child poverty within its borders;</li>
<li>violating one of the most basic human rights, access to justice, also for children;</li>
<li>inaction in the field of child sexual abuse;</li>
<li>disrespect for other Human Rights instruments, and has to learn working with the CoE.</li></ul>

<p>The CRC line-up of Swiss problems have many documented examples, from personal experience, already published on the blog. It is interesting to see that Switzerland is not, as people may claim and believe, a civilised and human rights respecting country. The United Nations CRC evaluating and reviewing Switzerland over years confirms Switzerland is problematic at best.</p>

<p>For those interested, what follows is a copy-paste of various items from the report in more detail.</p>

<h3 id="swiss-cantons-are-problematic-and-responsible-for-violating-children-s-rights" id="swiss-cantons-are-problematic-and-responsible-for-violating-children-s-rights">Swiss Cantons are problematic and responsible for violating children&#39;s rights:</h3>

<blockquote><p>The Committee recommends that the State party ensure the compatibility of cantonal legislation with the Convention, and develop a child-rights impact assessment procedure for national legislation and policies relevant to children.
Ensure that such a policy provides guidance for cantons on implementing the Convention, and includes a special focus on groups of children in vulnerable situations, including ... migrant children and children without a regular residence status.</p></blockquote>

<h3 id="swiss-data-collection-and-access-is-virtually-non-existent-harming-transparency-and-human-rights" id="swiss-data-collection-and-access-is-virtually-non-existent-harming-transparency-and-human-rights">Swiss data collection and access is virtually non existent, harming transparency and Human Rights:</h3>

<blockquote><p>The Committee remains seriously concerned that the collection and analysis of data on the situation of children is fragmented and inconsistent across cantons, and that there is no centralized system of disaggregated data collection or data on certain groups of children in disadvantaged situations.
Ensure that data is also collected and analysed on violence against children, including ... domestic and intercountry adoptions; missing children; and the situation of children in disadvantaged situations, including children in alternative care, ... migrant children, children without a regular residence status and children of incarcerated parents.</p></blockquote>

<h3 id="switzerland-s-ongoing-refusal-to-have-a-government-watchdog-capable-of-receiving-and-examining-complaints-from-the-public" id="switzerland-s-ongoing-refusal-to-have-a-government-watchdog-capable-of-receiving-and-examining-complaints-from-the-public">Switzerland&#39;s ongoing refusal to have a government watchdog capable of receiving and examining complaints from the public:</h3>

<blockquote><p>The Committee ... regrets that the office will not have a mandate to receive and investigate complaints from children. The Committee reiterates its previous recommendations and further recommends that the State party:
(a) Expeditiously establish the ombudsman for children’s rights with a mandate to regularly monitor and evaluate progress at both the federal and cantonal levels in the fulfilment of children’s rights under the Convention and to receive, investigate and address complaints from children in a child-friendly manner;
(b) Ensure that independent mechanisms for human rights monitoring have adequate human, technical and financial resources to implement and monitor the application of the Convention;
© Ensure full compliance with the principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (the Paris Principles).</p></blockquote>

<h3 id="discrimination-is-part-of-its-dna-and-swiss-law-does-not-provide-to-condemn-it" id="discrimination-is-part-of-its-dna-and-swiss-law-does-not-provide-to-condemn-it">Discrimination is part of its DNA, and Swiss law does not provide to condemn it:</h3>

<blockquote><p>the Committee is concerned about de facto discrimination against children in disadvantaged situations, ... and that discrimination on all explicit grounds covered under the Convention, including sex, disability or socioeconomic or other status, is not prohibited under article 261 bis of the Criminal Code.
The Committee recommends that the State party:
(a) Ensure that all forms of discrimination, including on the basis of sex, disability and socioeconomic, residence or other status, are prohibited by law;
(b) Ensure the full implementation of relevant laws prohibiting discrimination, including ... adequately sanctioning perpetrators, and removing procedural barriers that prevent child victims of discrimination from accessing justice and receiving remedies;
(d) ... addressing the root causes of de facto discrimination, with a view to eliminating discrimination against children in disadvantaged situations, including ... migrant children ... and socioeconomically disadvantaged children.</p></blockquote>

<h3 id="switzerland-incorrectly-interprets-what-is-the-good-of-the-child" id="switzerland-incorrectly-interprets-what-is-the-good-of-the-child">Switzerland incorrectly interprets what is “the good of the child”:</h3>

<blockquote><p>The Committee remains concerned that the concept of “the good of the child” in the Constitution does not correspond to the principle of the best interests of the child enshrined in the Convention, and has contributed to the insufficient implementation of the principle of the best interests of the child in decisions affecting children. Recalling its previous recommendations, the Committee recommends that the State party:
(a) Ensure that the principle of the best interests of the child is consistently applied in programmes and administrative and judicial proceedings, including in relation to parental custody, placement in alternative care, and migration and asylum procedures;
Develop operational procedures or protocols for professionals working with and for children to ensure that due weight is given to the views of children in all proceedings.</p></blockquote>

<h3 id="switzerland-improperly-deals-with-violence-against-children-and-their-protection-in-law-and-in-praxis-because-its-child-protection-professionals-including-judges-and-psychologists-lack-competence" id="switzerland-improperly-deals-with-violence-against-children-and-their-protection-in-law-and-in-praxis-because-its-child-protection-professionals-including-judges-and-psychologists-lack-competence">Switzerland improperly deals with violence against children and their protection in law and in praxis, because its child protection professionals, including judges and psychologists, lack competence:</h3>

<blockquote><p>The Committee ... notes that the training provided to relevant professional groups is not systematic and that knowledge of children’s rights among such professionals remains insufficient. The Committee recommends, in line with its previous recommendations, that the State party:
(b) Ensure systematic training on children’s rights and the Convention and the Optional Protocols thereto, including through the allocation of sufficient resources, for all professionals working for and with children, in particular those working in the areas of education, health, child protection, social protection, alternative care, justice and asylum.
Ensure that laws on access to information and the digital environment, including the federal data protection law, ensure respect for children’s right to privacy, protect children from harmful content and materials and online risks, and provide for mechanisms to prosecute violations;
© Enhance the digital literacy and skills of children, teachers and families, and protect children from information and material harmful to their well-being.
Strengthen coordination among cantonal authorities and child protection specialists to implement multisectoral measures for the prevention and intervention of violence against children, and adopt indicators to monitor progress achieved in the prevention of violence and in combating factors underpinning violence against children at home, in school, in alternative care settings and within a child’s circle of trust;
Strengthen efforts, including through increased human, technical and financial resources, to train professionals concerned to identify and adequately respond to cases of violence and child abuse, including psychological abuse, and establish reporting guidelines.
Allocate adequate financial, technical and human resources for mental- health services and programmes to ensure that the number of qualified medical professionals, including child psychologists and psychiatrists, is sufficient to meet children’s mental-health needs in all cantons;
(b) Strengthen measures to support health authorities to better diagnose mental-health problems among children</p></blockquote>
