The UN Human Rights Council

Subject: UNIVERSAL PERIODIC REVIEW BY THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL REPORT BY FINLAND February 2008, First session  covering Finland, session on 9^th of June 2008.  

The claim: The proceedings should be stopped and Finland UPR report rejected on the following grounds:

The report by  Finland is a collection of 155 lies. The mother of all the lies is revealed in the first clause, in which it is written, that the Ministry for Foreign Affairs was responsible for preparing and coordinating Finland's national report submitted for periodic review by the Human Rights Council of the United Nations (UN). The report was prepared jointly with the Prime Minister's Office and the relevant ministries. Human rights are the rights of a normal citizen towards the official administration. When official administration has prepared the report, which body can and only can violate the human rights, one can only state, that the meat factory itself has prepared the report.

And this is not all.

Altogether in the Finnish version of the report there are 109 clauses  but in the  official English version there are 155 clauses.  Ministry of Foreign Affairs i.e. ministry responsible for the official Finnish propaganda abroad is using an old trick to cheat in a meeting.  Parties of a meeting are given different documents of the matter under discussions.  Participants do not know what has been proposed and really been decided, when the chairman hammers the decision.

Finland UPR report has not been going through the democratic and parliamentary process. UPR report should have been accepted by president of the republic Ms Tarja Halonen and the cabinet as well as parliament. This has not been the case now. Leadership of the Finnish foreign policy is the responsibility of the president and cabinet together as per Constitution 93§ and not the administrators. The Finnish delegation under the leadership of Ms Teija Tiilikainen is giving the UPR Report to UN Human Rights Council without any legal ie constitutional right. In the report  itself there is the evidence in clause A, 3) as follows:

The Government is drafting an extensive report on human rights policy in Finland and will give it to the Parliament in spring 2009. The drafting of the present UPR report was combined with the preparation of the human rights policy report.

Above sentences are simple English and proves that the UPR report now in hand has not passed the democratic process in Finland as it will take place only in spring 2009. The UPR report is simply imagination of its creators, “the emperor has no clothes on”.

There is no democracy and parliamentarianism in practice in Finland as it is internationally understood and accepted as per Montesquieu principles of the separation of powers. The book by Montesquieu from the year 1748 “The Spirit of the Law” is considered as a bible of the democracy and parliamentarianism. The basic principle is the separation of powers. Dividing  political authority into the legislative, executive, and judicial powers the state most effectively promotes liberty. These three powers must be confided to different individuals or bodies, acting independently. This is also in the core of the Human Rights.

In the Finnish Constitution 3§ the principle of the separation of the powers is accepted into the  

·      legislative power to the Parliament,

·      executive power to the president of the republic and the cabinet, and

·      judicial power to the independent courts

in practice this does not work as a cabinet minister can be a member of the parliament as well with full powers except that he or she cannot be a member of a committee of the parliament. This corruption of the powers goes down the line in various other sectors of the society. Partiality is a common practice in the Finnish public life.

By Constitution Finnish parliament consists of 200 elected members. When the present parliament started their work on 28^th of March 2007 by opening declaration of president Tarja Halonen present were only 198 elected and accepted representatives. Mr Paavo Väyrynen and Ms Meri-Kukka Forsius, that time lover of Mr Matti Vanhanen, had not presented their power of attorney to the parliament to be accepted as a member of parliament. Therefore the parliament should not have started their work as it was officially and by Constitution not operational. Anyhow parliament started their work.

Later Ms Meri-Kukka Forsius presented her power of attorney but not Mr Paavo Väyrynen. Therefore parliament was not by Constitution operational with 199 members only instead of 200 members, when they elected Mr Matti Vanhanen as primeminister and his cabinet on 17^th of April 2007.

Finland had as her first women primeminister Ms Anneli Jäätteenmäki. She was dismmissed from her position in a bloodless coup d´etat illegally ie violating constitution. Mr Matti Vanhanen took then the power. Before that Mr Paavo Lipponen kept his position as a primeminister against the new constitution. Mr Lipponen was nominated as a primeminister by that time president Martti Ahtisaari. When new constitution became valid 1^st of March 2000, Mr Lipponen should have given up his position for parliament to elect a new primeminister as per new constitution. This was not done.  

We have sent a book to Human Rights Council for the present process, Laman ja rahan pelurit ie The Players of the Recession and Money, First Volume, ISBN 978-952-99691-1-1, prepared by our group:

Oikeuspolitiikan ja lainkäytön tutkimusryhmä

The investigation group for Justice and Legal processes.

The book explains how the criminal process was carried out in which tens of thousands healthy businesses were driven to bankruptcies, 100 thousands people, families were driven to unemployment and misery, tens of thousands people made suicides or became sick or alcohol and drug abusers when loosing their confidence to Justice in Finland.

On the page 6, encl 1, there is the reply by present president Tarja Halonen refusing to reveal the documents in the connection of the meeting on 6th of May 1992 by president Mauno Kovisto and of his so called conclave. The Law of Omerta prevails. One target of this meeting was to cement the illegal system, how private citizens will loose their legal cases against the State and the  Banks. On pages 110-129 there is more information of this meeting in which the chairman of the discussions was that time Supreme Court president Olavi Heinonen. Other participants included high figures from Judiciary and Universities. For example professor Allan Rosas, that time director of the Institute of Human Rights within Åbo Akademi University, was present, who is now a Judge in the EU Court, also professor Martin Scheinin, who is a rapporteur to UN for example in Iraq affairs. Presently professor Martin Scheinin is the Director of the Institute of Human Righst within Åbo Akademi University in Turku. On pages 130-131 there are more explanations how this well  planned Holocaust was implemented. On pages 132-158 there are more explanations how this greatest robbery in the Finnish history of private property was made. Presently public debt by Finland is about €12 000 per each Finnish citizen ie over €60 milliard and the payment back will take over 30 years with present rate. When Finland entered to the recession she was practically without any public debt.  Professor Heikki Ylikangas, one of the participants in the meeting  on 6^th of May 1992  by president Koivisto, has written a book: Suomen historian solmukohdat, ie. Knot points of the Finnish history.  On page 354 he notes that recession has left behind 320 000 debted Finnish citizens.  On the page 379 he calls for a Truth Commission to repair the damage done comparing it to war damages of WW2.  

Mr A.-P. Pietilä has written a book of Finnish Banking Crisis, encl. 2, we have sent to the Human Rights Council for the present process as well. Mr Pietilä´s book reveals the conspiracy and will give evidence of the well planned illegal process, in which some 14 000 people made suicides, 110 000 made bankrupt and 600 000 people were made unemployed.

This is probably one of the greatest Holocausts or Genocides  in Western world of our time On pages 195-203 there is more information of so called president Koivisto´s conclave and how the papers are still kept secret by present president Ms. Tarja Halonen. In a democracy no documents should be secret specially during a time of peace.

Mr Seppo Konttinen, journalist in State Radio and TV company has written a book, which we have sent also to this present process in UN Human Rights Council: Secret subsidy to banks, How the loan takers were mistreated, ISBN978-951-31-4251-3. Mr Konttinen´s book reveals the conspiracy and will give evidence of the well planned illegal process, in which some 14 000 people made suicides, 60 000 companies were made bankrupt and 600 000 people were made unemployed. This is probably one of the greatest Holocausts or Genocide  in Western world of our time. On pages 159-168 there is more information of so called president Koivisto´s conclave ie Finnish Wannsee operation and how the papers are still kept secret by present president Ms. Tarja Halonen, ref page 165. In a democracy no official, public documents should be secret specially during a time of peace.  The Central Savings bank SKOP and many smaller savings banks  were killed as there were no shareholders to protect. Private banks SYP and KOP and their shareholders were rescued in a criminal process although these banks were bankrupt. Later these banks were merged with a Swedish bank and the name is now Nordea with headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden. State owned Postipankki ie Postoffice bank was sold to insurance group Sampo and lately to Denmark ie Den Danske bank, headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark. There is now only one greater bank left in Finland is Osuuspankki group.The book also tells how second Minister of Finance Ms Suvi-Anne Siimes illegally  sold loan papers worth of about 12 200mill. Fim ie 2000mill Euros at 5% of their value 600 mill FIM ie 100mill Euros to foreign based companies C&A Finland OY and Aktiv Hansa Oy.  There were about 70 000 loan papers covering greater number of people involved as there were also guarantors. The documents of this  transaction have been kept secret, which is against the law and the transaction was illegal  as such. Those involved were not given any chance to buy the loan papers at the price of 5% of their value or at any price. We have later learned that government has reduced that price even more.  The companies had full rights to continue the payment processes from the victims causing  a lot of misery. We have now heard that three universities are investigating  the processes during the” Great Finnish Recession”. No official legal body is doing any investigations as highest officials in Justice are involved in wrongdoings ie Chancellor of Justice Mr Jonkka and Mr Nikula and Parliament ombudsman Ms Paunio. Finland has been cheating international community, financiers by illegally granting subsidy to bankrupt private banks, SYP and KOP against market economy principles and laws and still is cheating by not revealing the crime and not punishing the culprits.

I have personally asked  Chancellor of Justice Mr Jaakko Jonkka to investigate the process how second Minister of Finance Ms Suvi-Anne Siimes illegally  sold loan papers worth of about 12 000mill. Fim ie 2000mill Euros at 5% of their value 600 mill FIM ie 100mill Euros to foreign based companies C&A Finland OY and Aktiv Hansa Oy.  As there were about 76 000 loan papers and 57 000 people directly involved plus their guarantors, this is Genoside towards those people. The documents of this transaction have been kept secret, which is against the law and the transaction was illegal  as such. Those involved were not given any chance to buy the loan papers at the price of 5% of their value or at any price. We have later learned that government has reduced that price even more.  The companies had full rights to continue the payment processes from the victims causing  a lot of misery. The Holocaust or Genoside is towards those 57 000 loan takers and their guarantors. Chancellor of Justice Mr. Jaakko Jonkka has sent me his answer dated 25^th of March 2008 dnro 251/1/08. Mr Jonkka is doing nothing in this matter. Finland has been cheating international community, financiers by illegally granting subsidy to bankrupt private banks, SYP and KOP against market economy principles and laws and still is cheating by not revealing the crime and not punishing the culprits.

Mr  Jukka Davidsson has sent his own report, encl 3, to Mrs Louise Arbour dated Feb 11. 2008 for this ongoing process in the Human Rights Council. He describes the illegalities in the processes to save the private banks SYP and KOP and their shareholders against market economy principles by creating misery to other citizens.

Several ministers in the present government have criminal background or have been dishonest earlier or in their present position. By constitution ministers ought to be honest and skillful. Person, who has criminal records, no doubt can be considered as honest. Following persons can considered dishonest and not suitable to ministerial posts and president Tarja Halonen should not have nominated them but nothing positive took place.

Ms Suvi Lindèn, second minister of Communications

Mr Jan Vapaavuori, minister of Housing

Ms Sirkka-Liisa Anttila, minister of Agriculture.

Primeminister  Matti Vanhanen is now in the court by his own initiative on a case against her previous lover Ms Ruusunen and a publisher for a book on the relationship between Ruusunen and Vanhanen. In the course of the process Mr Vanhanen has been lying in public as well as in the new scandal for bribery in elections.

Mr Vapaavuori has been sentenced to prison term for violence one month and 15 days on probation. In another case he was charged for stealing. In the year 2001 he got 11 000Fim ie nearly 2000€ fine and denial to drive a car for drunken driving.

Ms Sirkka-Liisa Anttila got prison term on probation for false oath in the court.

Mr Jyrki Katainen, minister of Finance, was under police investigation for falsifying some meeting protocols. The case was considered small so it did not go to the court.

Ms Suvi Lindén, earlier as a minister of Culture, channeled public money 170 000€ to a golf club, in which she was a partner. The chancellor of Justice that time Mr Nikula reprimanded her and she had to leave her ministerial post.

Ms Tarja Cronberg, minister of Labour, and Ms Anu Vehviläinen, first minister of Communications, were both in the board of Kareliakeskus company, which had misused state subsidies. Later the company had to pay subsidies back and went bankrupt.

Partiality of the Judges as per doctoral thesis of Mr Antti Tapanila, encl 4., is a great problem within Judiciary. Mr Tapanila has found problems with the Case Law of ECHR and the Finnish system to claim for Judges partiality in the Court of Appeal. Ministry of the Justice is keeping the records of the Judges and their relevant jobs, financial positions etc. Specially the financial aspects are confidential so parties in the court do not have access to this information and cannot claim the partiality on this basis. Mr Tapanila is suggesting a need to change the law.

Very serious issue is the common practice to have so called temporary Judges in the appeal courts as well as in the Supreme Court, administrative courts and Supreme administrative court. Temporary job can be  only for one day ie for one court case.  Proper judges are nominated for his or her position by the president of the republic and for a life term.  Generally temporary judge can be assigned to his or her job by the court in concern. A person can be for many years a judge on several short term temporary nominations. The spirit of the law is bypassed as it is basically agreed and written in the constitution as well that Judge can be in his or her position for a life term and be as impartial as possible without a fear to lose his or her job.

The court records  are only a story by a Judge to justify his or her decision. It is not recorded or written exactly down, what parties in the case are actually saying. Only the testimonies of  the witnesses are recorded electronically but they are not normally written on the paper afterwards. Nobody can thefore afterwards know what and who has actually said what in the court.

When Finland joined European Union she was supposed to discontinue or adjust the international agreements she had signed to comply the EU rulings as EU and it´s member states became responsible for those agreements signed by Finland. Finland did not do so at least as for

·      Paris peace agreement from the year 1947 she had signed with 10 state parties to end the 2^nd World War

·      Non fortification and neutralising of Ahvenanmaa islands, agreement no 1/1922 ,

·      Agreement with Soviet Union concerning the Ahvenanmaa islands agreement no 24/1940

The agreement between Finland and EU is therefore in disharmony because of those above mentioned agreements.

In the process for Finland to join European Union Finnish government was lying to the nation with great help of the European Union itself. Ms Anne Koski has made an approved doctoral thesis on this in the year 2005 in Tampere University, ecl. 5 in Finnish.

Finland has proposed Stateprosecutor Ms Päivi Hirvelä to the post of a Judge in the European Court of Human Rights. She has been elected.  Process in Finland has been illegal and criminal. Ms Päivi Hirvelä has falsified her CV for the post. Those responsible for her nomination process in Finland are as well responsible for this criminal process. Nothing has happened in Finland so far to cancel this criminal nomination. The Hirvelä papers are now  also on the desk of Mr. José Manuel Barroso, President of the European commission.

The treatment of patients in mental hospitals is  in many cases illegal and inhuman. Medical tests are made on the patients against their will and knowledge of the fatality of the tests. For years the psychiatric  evaluations has been made against the will of the person  in concern and against the law. Just lately criminal process law  was changed to allow psychiatric evaluations against the will of a person. Official in charge to follow  and correct the conditions the mental hospitals is parliamentary ombudsman Ms Riitta-Leena  Paunio. She has not been doing her job. I refer to the case of paediatrician Ritva Salunen. In  her case there was not even a criminal report to police to facilitate criminal police investigation and criminal processing in the courts. Whole  processing has been made secret to hide all illegalities. There must be extensive protection within the administration for the child abusers. Ms Salunen had her full doctor´s license valid when she was tortured in mental hospital by force with fatal medication. When she was released from the mental hospital after over one year “treatment” she lost her license, which she now has received partly back. Limitation in her license now is that she is not allowed to investigate or treat child patients, who have been subject to sexual abuse or molesting. The case is still in the courts.  Problem in legislation is also that the law for mentally sick is different for criminals which are mentally sick compared to civilian  patients, encl 6.

The case of so called Campoy boys was terrible. Mrs Kerstin Campoy  was single custodian for her two sons by final Finnish court decision. With the help of Finnish officials two boys were robbed by USA agents from a Finnish hospital and taken to USA. Mrs Kerstin Campoy has not seen her boys for many years. The case was  a great misuse of so called Hague Child abduction convention as Finland has never accepted this  international agreement officially. Documents were only signed by that time president Martti Ahtisaari for which he had no constitutional right.

The case of Russian son of a Russian Mrs Ludmila Krasovskaja is as bad and cruel. She gave a birth of a son Lauri in Finland and immediately the son was robbed from her to a couple, which has been looking for a baby to adopt. Now Mrs Krasovskaja has been able see her son only every two months some few hours each time in the presence of a guard. No Finishn official is doing anything in this plain case of child robbery.

The case of Ms Marja-Lisa Kuusio is also bad. She gave a birth of a son in Zurich, Switzerland 16 years ago. She is a single custodian of her son Matias. Her exhusband robbed the son soon after the birth to Egypt. She has not received any help fom Swiss officials nor Finnish authorities. Ms Kuusio has lost her life savings in this fight. Matias is living with the relatives of his father in Cairo. Last time Ms Kuusio was able see her son in Cairo before Christmas 2007 for few hours only.

The case of a Russia daughter of Finnish father Mr Kauko Oranen and the Russian mother Oksana Loginova is also cruel and illegal. Daughter was robbed from the mother when she was only few weeks old. The parents have seen their daughter only one or two times and  do not know her location. All the court cases are lost to protect the criminalities of the officials.  In Finland this kind of cases are processed in administrive courts, which is against EU law.

In enclosure 7 there more in details some critics to Finnish February 2008 UPR report.

In Finland there is a law for those who are candidates in public elections to inform of the financial support they have received for the election. The report must be given to the Ministry of Justice. Very few members of the parliament have done this properly. Most ugliest thing was, when member of the parliament and the leader of the Center party group Mr Kalli revealed that he has not done this reporting correctly is not going to do so as there is no punishment.  This is most unbelievable behaviour showing complete neglect of the law. Mr Kalli is in a position to formulate and make the laws but he is not going to follow them himself. Later under the pressure Mr Kalli has informed of his financial supporters as also some other MP:s.

The process in media has shown wide spread corruption where businessmen have bough suitable representatives giving them great financial support to be able to cover the huge advertisement costs etc. It is still to be  revealed, whether there is money laundering involved and tax evasion. The plan is to change the law to make it punishable if not declaring the financial support as the law requires. Lawprofessor Jyrki Virolainen has requested the Chancellor  of Justice Mr Jonkka to investigate the matter. Mr  Virolainen feels that the main culprit is Ministry of Justice, which has not been following that the reporting is done as the law requires.

It seems that Finland is cheating international community. This is has been possible as outsiders cannot dig into Finnish reality  for the language barrier. There is also the Omerta-law.

Human Rights Council must investigate this matter now themselves. The processing of the Finnish UPR should now be stopped until a  neutral and realistic report  is on hand for the UN Human Rights Council.
