E-mails reveal: 'Belgium made sure Saudis knew it voted regime onto U.N. women’s rights commission'

Belgian Foreign Min Reynders on the right

Leaked e-mails: Belgium made sure Saudis knew it voted regime onto U.N. women’s rights commission. (UN Watch).

Scandal: internal emails reveal that Belgium instructed its diplomats to vote Saudi Arabia onto the U.N. women’s rights commission — and to make sure the fundamentalist regime knew of Belgium’s support.

New elements calling Belgian FM Reynders into question.

April 28, 2017 – At least nine hours passed between the time when the cabinet of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was informed of the request of a vote at the United Nations Commission for Women’s Rights and the time when it was answered, as confirmed Friday by the Ecologists’ party, based on internal emails.

According to the Green Party, the Belgian delegation to the United Nations in New York informed the cabinet of Didier Reynders on April 9 at 12:33 a.m. of the request for a vote from the United Stations about the entry of Saudi Arabia into the commission. The response was sent at 3:34 p.m. Uncertainty remains about the way the time delay should be considered, but at the very least, nine hours had passed.

“This gives a false image of the foreign office”

According to these documents, the cabinet’s reply, written in the first person, mentions the following elements. The “clean slate” procedures should be followed and Belgium should therefore provide its support to the candidates for the various positions during the secret vote. Furthermore, the delegation was requested to inform the various candidates, including Saudi Arabia, of this support if possible.

According to the minutes from a meeting that took place at the foreign office yesterday (see the tweet from Kristof Calvo below), the administration complained about the communication about this affair and implied that Reynders was indeed aware of it. “Some press information insinuates that our Permanent Mission in New York may have acted on its own initiative, and that the Ministry may have not been aware of it. This give a false image of the foreign office as a completely uncontrolled organization.” Read the full story here.

Composting the dead? Belgian francophone politician thinks it should be possible.(HLN). [Google translated].

Olivier Maingain (DEFI) advocates for ecological reasons for legalizing composting of the dead as an alternative form of funeral services.

Olivier D. A. Gh. Maingain is a Belgian francophone politician and president of DéFI.

Currently there are two legal practices: burial and cremation. But according Maingain those are "highly polluting, expensive and problematic in terms of space requirements. He advocated therefore the legalization of composting.

"It is a controlled process in which human remains can be converted in a compost of pruning wood chips in twelve months by micro-organisms in healthy and fertile humus. There are no coffins, no concession fees, no embalming costs involved, no chemical products are added ... "said Maingain. According to the MP this question is among other questions filed by citizens in his community .

"My administration does not have a scientific study that compares the benefits of humusation  to the two legal ways of burying . Given the organization of the funeral management in Belgium -. Cemeteries and funeral homes - there seems to be a very low environmental impact for all techniques "said Minister Marghem who referes for a possible modification of the law of July 20, 1971 in the cemeteries and funeral services by referring to her colleague of the Interior Jan Jambon.

EU court rules member states not obliged to grant visas to refugees.

EU court rules member states not obliged to grant visas to refugees. (AP)

BRUSSELS (AP) — Europe's top court has ruled that European Union member states aren't obliged to grant humanitarian visas to people who want to enter their territory to apply for asylum.

The decision announced Tuesday came after a Belgian court in October ordered the government to give humanitarian visas to a family in war-torn Syria.

The European Court of Justice ruled that allowing people to choose where to get international protection would undermine the EU system establishing which country should handle asylum applications.

It said that EU law only lays out the procedures and conditions for issuing visas to transit through or stay on the territory of a member state for up to 90 days.

But the Luxembourg-based court said member state courts remain free to rule on visas under national law.

Friends in Belgium had offered to lodge and feed the family, who lived in the besieged city of Aleppo and believed still to be in Syria.

The government fears that granting visas would open the floodgates to more applications and believes that it should be responsible for such decisions and not the courts.

Belgium's immigration minister, Theo Francken, has refused to pay a fine of 4,000 euros ($4,438) per day for defying an appeal tribunal.

Francken welcomed Tuesday's ruling, even though it changes nothing in Belgium.Read the full story here.

Belgium's Wallonia Says Won't Meet EU 'Ultimatum' On Canada Trade Pact.

          Belgium's Wallonia Says Won't Meet EU 'Ultimatum' On Canada Trade Pact.

Brussels, Belgium:  The head of Wallonia's parliament said Monday it would not respect an EU ultimatum to back a massive trade deal with Canada blocked by the Belgian region.  

"It won't be possible to respect this ultimatum," Andre Antoine told RTL radio in Belgium, referring to a late-Monday deadline set by EU president Donald Tusk for the country to say whether it could support the pact.

Belgium has so far been the only EU member not to sign up to the CETA trade deal, which has been seven years in the making, because French-speaking Wallonia has refused to endorse it.

Antoine said it was important to get CETA right as it could pave the way for future trade pacts with powers such as the US and China. "We must therefore have a solid legal basis," he added.

He also pointed to the massively complex nature of the text, saying he has "300 pages of the treaty, 1,300 pages of appendices." Hmmm...Anyone knowing the close ties between Quebec and Wallonia knows why this deal won't pass. As Quebec farmers said in the past : "We can't compete against those high quality goods".

Belgian police arrested while 'dumping' a van load of migrants in France.

Belgian police arrested while 'dumping' a van load of migrants in France. (DS).

LILLE, France: Two Belgian policemen were arrested after being found in a French border town with a vanload of migrants, officials said Thursday, sparking a diplomatic incident.

The police van carrying 13 migrants and the two policemen was stopped by French police in Nieppe, a town on the Belgian border, on Tuesday evening, after crossing from Belgium.

The Belgian policemen were arrested and questioned before being released, an official source said.
The policemen, from Ypres, said they had picked up the migrants after finding them walking along a road in Belgium.

One of the officers, Georges Aeck, told Belgian broadcaster RTBF: "We didn't want to leave them... on the side of the road to walk to the border. "So we took them... in the direction they wanted to go."

Belgium's ambassador to France, Vincent Mertens de Wilmars, was summoned Thursday over the incident "so we can ask him for an explanation", the French interior ministry said.

French authorities have already expressed "their strongest condemnation after this initiative which does not conform to the normal work practices agreed between France and Belgium".

The Belgian police union said the French police had handcuffed their Belgian colleagues before questioning, a claim denied by the French authorities.

The migrants were taken to a border police station in the northern French city of Lille. Three minors were placed in the care of local authorities and the adults have been temporarily detained while their status is assessed.

The northern French port of Calais is a magnet for migrants who try to board lorries there to reach Britain, although it is not known whether the migrants in the incident had asked to be taken to Calais. Hmmmm.....Here you are carrying out a humanitarian 'action' and you get arrested :)

EU MP Guy Verhofstadt calls upon every EU MP and EU Citizens to offend to Erdogan. (HLNbe)[GoogleTranslated].

Guy Verhofstad President of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe @ALDEGroup
performed in the European Parliament a remarkable call.

Referring to the indictment of the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who demanded a gag order against the CEO of the German media group Axel Springer, he called upon all parliamentarians and citizens to offend Erdogan.

Matthias Döpfner, publisher of the popular German newspaper Bild, last week took the defense of the satirist Böhmermann in an open letter. Abusive poem in which he called last month in the Turkish President a pedophile and a called goat fucker. Döpfner said not only that he had to laugh out loud with the poem, but also suggested that he "substantively agreed with the formulations and taunts" from Böhmermann.

Today, a judge ruled that no gag order is imposed on Döpfner, gag order which Erdogan had demanded . Verhofstadt himself, as leader of the liberals in the European Parliament, made in turn the words Böhmermann his own. "Erdogan will have to sue me"

"Döpfner ​​himself made the words of Bohrmann (sic) own, we agree with the words of Döpfner "said the former prime minister of Belgium. "So if Erdogan is consistent, he should sue me. I invite you to repeat you the words of Döpfner. If you do, Erdogan will individually sue. I do not think it is possible to prosecute all of you," said Verhofstadt.

On Facebook Verhofstad invited under the tittle 'Will Erdogan prosecute you too?' all Europeans to repeat the words of Döpfner and Böhmermann 'What will Erdogan do?' he demands himself. he can't possibly sue every EU Citizen? Read the full story here.

‘Islamist wing’ opens in Belgian prison, notorious 'Santa Claus’ jihadist first long term 'guest'.

‘Islamist wing’ opens in Belgian prison, notorious 'Santa Claus’ jihadist first long term 'guest'. (RT).

 A special ‘Islamist wing’ has opened in a jail in Ittre, Belgium, according to local newspaper Derniere Heure. Its first prisoner is Khalid Zerkani, nicknamed ‘Santa Claus of jihad’. He was charged with recruiting young Muslims and is now serving 12 years.

Zerkani was transferred to Ittre from another facility in the Brussels commune of Forest, where the Brussels attacker Mohamed Abrini has been incarcerated. Authorities worried the two would make contact in Forest.

So, the transfer was made, with due discretion and high security in place.

However, the Ittre prison administration is now fearful that Zerkani, who has a great deal of influence with jihadists, may attempt to escape.

The ‘Islamist wing’ project was developed by Minister of Justice Koen Geens. It finally came into force on Monday, and was specifically applied to Ittre.

The proposal hasn’t been unanimously welcomed, but after talks between the unions and the justice minister’s office, it was agreed to open the Ittre wing, on condition that it would only house four jihadist prisoners, not 20 as was initially planned. Hmmm....They're going to have to build a lot of new prisons if only four Jihadist a prison is the norm. Read the full story here.

More on Itre prison here:

As the Brussels-Capital Region has no house of sentences, the prison of Ittre is a house of penalties intended to accommodate definitively convicted prisoners from the Brussels region.

The proximity of Ittre with the Brussels region maintains the relationships between inmates and their family members whereas before these were convicted serve their sentences in remote institutions in Brussels. All sentences categories are represented in Ittre. Moreover, the prison of Ittre also contributed to decongestion of overcrowded or renovating prisons.

The prison of Ittre applies a cellular system where all inmates take their meals in cell except prisoners put to work in the workshops that take their lunch there in mess rooms provided for this purpose. Solitary confinement of workers held however outweighed by the opportunity to enjoy the whole week of joint activities on section 15:15 to 20:00 (7 sections). Solitary confinement of detainees workers not leave them the ability to access common activities from 18:15 to 20:00.

Each section has a space provided for that purpose, with a table tennis table, a kicker and with a kitchenette. All inmates can rent a television (cable and satellite) and telephone access seven days a week (system managed by computer). All also feature a fridge in their cells. Besides the prison linen and bed sheets, the laundry room is also responsible for washing personal laundry of the inmates who wish. Every prisoner has the opportunity to take a shower every day and go to the playground between half past one ET seven hours a day.

The prison of Ittre has a gym and body building available five days a week. If desired, each prisoner has access to the gym / body three times a week. Each inmate receives five visits to table a week (1h30 per visit) and three out monitoring visits per month.

Purchases that detainees wish to achieve is done through accounting, in partnership with private firms that deliver several times a week ( "generalist" canteen halal canteen canteen pastry, pharmacy, newspapers, stereo ).

First picture of Abdeslam in Belgian prison surfaces: dark circles and beard. (HetNieuwsblad).[GoogleTranslated].

A photo surfaced of Salah Abdeslam in the prison of Bruges. The terrorist looks very tired out, totally unlike the neat picture of his investigation report following the attacks in Paris. And he has a beard. The jail photo that got hold of our editorial staff, clearly shows that the strict prison regime toll begins to demand at Salah Abdeslam (26). While we knew him so far as the terrorist with the perfect coiffure, we knew already that he had grown his beard during his flight.

Since his arrest is the terrorist in prison in Bruges. Since states that Abdeslam a "model prisoner". "A very good boy. An example for many other detainees, yet in terms of behavior. We do not have to report any negative comment about his doings. And his appetite is excellent. "

Abdeslam does look somewhat stouter out this new photo, but otherwise looks the terrorist properly abashed. His hair is unkempt, his beard and mustache he has. And he especially looks very tired with heavy bags under the eyes. "As a result of his harsh prison regime in the High Security Section. Eight times per hour a jailer is going to look inside his cell and the light is being switched on to see if everything is okay. That's pretty grueling, "says a source. Hmmm.....No wonder he wants to move to a French prison.....no beauty sleep. 

Video - 16-year old Afghan refugee charged with rape of female worker at Belgian asylum center.

Eleven asylum seekers "removed" after brawl over veil.(HLN)[GoogleTranslated].

Eleven people were arrested Friday afternoon after a brawl with a hundred people involved in the asylum center of Leopoldsburg have since been "removed." This confirms An Luyten, the spokeswoman for the Red Cross. "The four that were part of the core portion are transferred to a detention center. The seven others are individually housed and distributed in the other reception centers in Flanders," said An Luyten.

"The four, who moved to the detention center, started the fight. The discussion was about a young woman of Syrian origin who had to wear a headscarf in accordance with the Afghans. Which is Weird because there are several women without headscarves around. Why just this Syrian was targetted, is not clear. the Syrians sided with the young woman, while the Afghans and Iraqis were on the other side. With the removal of the eleven fighters we want to give a clear signal, "says An Luyten.

The Red Cross has decided not to remove 11 but 30 asylum seekers from the shelter in Leopoldsburg. 29 of them have been transferred to another center, one man is excluded. The asylum seekers were on Friday involved in a large-scale battle, because a Syrian girl was not wearing a headscarf. The girl with her family also left from the shelter in Leopoldsburg, they did not want to stay there any longer. They stay with relatives until there is a new place for them.

Secretary of State for asylum and Migration Theo Francken (N-VA) has responded to the brawl in the asylum center of Leopoldsburg.

"I find it totally unacceptable that some young Afghans find it necessary to tell them to wear a headscarf and that they should not dress according to western fashion," he says. "They come here, they are a guests here. We are not guests with them. They have to adapt to our rules." "They need to adapt to our rules"

"If they think they can import their wars and conflicts , then they're wrong . The next few days I will discuss with the government if we can extend the sanctions for misbehaving asylum seekers so that they may lose their permanent asylum. This way we should not have to pay for them, " Francken said.

Tip off by alert teacher uncovers video of gang rape by migrants in Belgium.

Radicalization probe uncovers video of gang rape by migrants in Belgium. (RT).

Belgian police investigating a tip-off by an alert teacher of a technical school in Ostend about the possible radicalization of a 14-year-old male student have discovered a video implicating him and six others in the gang rape of an unconscious girl. Five of the suspects are Iraqi immigrants.

The video was shot on a phone camera and reportedly shows the assailants laughing, singing and dancing around their victim, who has passed out after drinking too much alcohol. The men pulled the girl’s pants down then groped and raped her, police told the Belgian media.

Police officials in Ostend, Belgium’s largest coastal city, discovered the evidence of the sex crime as they were investigating a 14-year-old student of the Ostend Technical Institute, who had been seen showing his friends a photo of himself wearing military garb and holding a sub-machine gun. The gang rape video was found on the boy’s phone.

Of the seven people arrested in connection with the gang rape, two are Belgium nationals and five are Iraqi immigrants. The oldest suspect is 25 years old.

The 17-year-old victim was identified and has been found. She said she had attended a party with her boyfriend and became unconscious after drinking too much alcohol. After waking up, she called a taxi and went home. She said she didn’t remember what had happen to her.

Several of the suspects showed little remorse for the incident, which happened in November, and didn’t even believe it was a crime at all, the police said.

“She has nothing to complain about. Women must obey men,” one of them reportedly told the police.

The attitude sparked outrage among Belgians.
“It is clear that some newcomers have problematic beliefs about relations between men and women,” commented Ostend Mayor Johan Vande Lanotte. “When they have served their sentences, they must leave the country.”

Theo Francken, Belgium's minister for asylum and immigration, made a similar statement: “Rapists won't be given asylum. They will be sent back to Iraq if they are found guilty.”

Belgian Secr of State for Asylum and Migration Franken wants to educate refugees: "A woman is treated here with respect"

Belgian Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration Franken wants to educate refugees: "A woman is treated here with respect". (Hln)[GoogleTranslated].

Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration Theo Francken (N-VA) wants to give to all asylum applicants courses on how to deal with women. According to him there are "almost daily" fights between Iraqis and Afghans in the refugee shelters. A practice where he wants to put a stop to, and for which there should be tougher sanctions. "The heaviest sanction now, 30 days exclusion from the asylum center, does not make much impression on them."

The Deputy Minister also elaborated on the courses he wants to give to all applicants on how to deal with women. Some centers already started this, but the government wants to expand the system in the coming weeks, writes De Standaard this morning.

The courses should above all ensure that asylum seekers are taught respect for women. "It's about the fact that it is normal that men and women are absolutely equal, women go to work, they can vote, so that a woman is one who is treated with respect and is not a slut or whore. These debates we conducted 50, 60 years ago and we will not have these debates again, we won't give in a millimeter."

That these courses are necessary has for Francken been obvious, even before the events in Cologne last New Year's night. "We have an unprecedented influx of single young men between 16 and 35 years with them, the norms and value system is completely different, these courses are mainly aimed at men but also to women. Them we want to make clear... It is not a problem here that you are working and that your husband can help in the education of the children or in the household. It is a problem if your husband beats you. "Francken follow as the example of Norway, where migrants have long been given such courses. They get lessons on how to treat women. "We will copy the Norwegian model and introduce it the coming weeks and months, in all Belgian refugee centers,".

Sp.a Chairman John Crombez Francken thinks the idea to make all asylum seekers follow the courses "useful, to not it's enough." He is shocked by the sexual assaults committed against women on New Year's night in Cologne. "If this behavior appears we must be quick and react in the hardest possible way to be very clear that this can not possibly be accepted," says the Socialist Party chairman.

"In order to form a close community rules apply. These are for everybody. Equality between men and women is perhaps the most important achievement of Western democracy. It is absolute. The groups of men who have committed ​​these degrading acts, must therefore be identified, prosecuted and punished as severely as possible, "says Crombez to Belga. If it is about people who have fled here, then the appropriate response for the sp.a president is that in this case, they can not remain here.

At least four senior ISIS terrorists hidden among refugees streams entered into Europe

At least four senior ISIS terrorists hidden among refugees streams entered into Europe. (ST). [GoogleTranslated].

At least four senior Isis terrorists — including a notorious bomb maker — have entered the European Union posing as refugees and are believed to be still at large, sources close to an investigation in Belgium have revealed.

They are among “dozens, if not hundreds” of terrorists thought to have arrived via Turkey or Libya as part of a wave of refugees streaming into Europe at the rate of up to 10,000 a day.

The revelation came after French prosecutors claimed that at least three of those involved in the Paris attacks had made their way to the country on a route through the Balkans used by refugees.

The disclosures are expected to add to concerns about the ease with which Isis sympathisers can enter and then move within the borderless Schengen area.

The most notorious terrorist Ahmed Mohamed El Amin, a Palestinian bomb maker this summer would have arrived in Belgium after he had made the crossing to Europe from Libya in a refugee boat. 

El Amin, who was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, working closely with Bilal Badr, a Palestinian terrorist who works for IS. According to the researchers, the two men in the past have been together prepared a whole series of terrorist attacks.

The three other terrorists which is currently being sought in abundance, are Mohammed Mezher, a IS-member, according to the investigators until recently stayed at the refugee camp in Bovigny in the province of Luxembourg, and the two brothers and Talal Anwar Ammar.

The security for migrants who arrive in Europe are practically non-existent. Ministers from the European Union arrived Friday they agreed that the details of their own citizens who would check would enter the Schengen area in a police database.

 The Pakistani-born British men were being questioned by security personnel as officers continued to search the ambulances – two Fiats and a Mercedes with British plates.

Brussels remained in lockdown following an intelligence warning of an imminent Paris-style attack on the Belgian capital. The city is home to the headquarters of the European Union, the Nato alliance and offices of many multinational corporations.

Iran and Belgium have signed a comprehensive cooperation MoU, according to which the two countries will expand their cooperation on bilateral, regional, and international issues, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said.

Zarif made the statement during a joint press conference with his Belgian counterpart, Didier Reynders here, in which they discussed views on various issues, including Iran’s nuclear program and the Syrian crisis, the Trend correspondent reported from Tehran November 9.

Regarding Iran’s attendance at the Syrian talks, he said since President Hassan Rouhani is scheduled to travel to Europe, though it is not clear at what level Iran will participate in the Syrian talks.

He noted that during the upcoming meeting, all sides are going to designate which are the terrorist groups now engaged in the Syrian conflict. “However, we believe it is clear what groups are terrorists,” he said.

Further, Zarif stressed that terrorists should not have access to oil and there needs to be an explanation of how they sell oil and make money.

He further commented on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and said a document has been prepared on redesigning Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor.

Talks are still being held on how to sign the document, since not all P5+1 foreign ministers are in Vienna, the Iranian FM stated.

Reynders, for his part, said there is no military solution to the conflict in Yemen, urging the start of political talks to end the fighting there.

Reynders, who is leading a political and economic delegation to Iran, met President Hassan Rouhani before seeing Zarif.

During their meeting, he said Belgium is waiting for sanctions to be lifted in order to boost ties with the Islamic Republic.

The sanctions are to be lifted according to the JCPOA, which was reached between Iran and the 5+1 group, made up of the US, UK, France, Russia, China, and Germany, on July 14.

In 2005, before sanctions were tightened against Iran, Belgium was Iran’s 28^th largest trade partner. It exported some $733 million in goods to Iran and imported $74 million goods from Iran.


During the first five months of the current Iranian year (March 21 to August 22), however, Iran’s imports from Belgium were registered at $131.6 million, while exports hit $14.6 million. Hmmm......Human rights are for sale....just look at the Saudis in the UN.......Money can buy anything but honor.
