Dear=20 Sir,

Ref.;=20 MAY DAY CALL from = Finland. =20 The election on 27th of June 2006 of Ms. P=E4ivi Hirvel=E4 = to become a=20 Judge at the European Court of Human = Rights.

My=20 letter to You dated 22.2.2008, encl. = 1.

The=20 election of Ms P=E4ivi Hirvel=E4 to become a Judge at the = European Court=20 of Human Rights must be reversed and nomination = cancelled as=20 well as those responsible for the criminal acts be taken to = justice=20 and be punished.

The=20 effective norms by the Council of Europa fo selection of = Judges to=20 the ECHR are for example

Recommenadation=20 1649 (2004)

Resolution=20 1366 (2004) and

Resolution=20 1426 (2005), enclosure 2.

It=20 is easy to note that the nomination of Ms P=E4ivi Hirvel=E4 = to become=20 ECHR Judge does not meet the above = norms.

I=20 want to draw your attention specially to the Recommendation = 1649=20 (2004) clause 1., 2,. 3., 17., 19., and = 20.

No=20 doubt Ms. P=E4ivi Hirvel=E4 does not meet = the moral criteria for = the=20 position of a Judge as she has given falsified information = in her=20 Curriculum Vitae, which can be considered as a criminal act = in=20 Finland=20 and as it was presented also during her interview in=20 Strasbourg=20 it can be considered as a criminal act carried out in=20 Strasbourg.

Generally=20 the process of appointment has not been according to =20 the article 2 and = 3.

The=20 Finnish Governement and parliament has also not performed as = per=20 procedure stipulated in article 20., i.e.,=20 Parliament and the appropriate committees have not been = notified.=20

I=20 have written on the matter several times to Mr Luzius = Wildhaber,=20 president of ECHR for example dated 18.10.2006 and = 31.10.2006, encl.=20 3-4. So far ther has not been any action or=20 replies.

I=20 have written on the matter several times to Mr Thomas = Hammarberg,=20 Commissioner of Human rights, encl. 5. So far there has not = been any=20 action or replies.

I=20 have written on the matter also to MP Mikko Elo, Chief of = that time=20 Finnish delegation to the Council of Europe, encl. 6. So far = there=20 has not been any action or replies.

I=20 have written on the matter also to Mr Erkki Tuomioja dated=20 31.10.2006, that time Finnish minister of Foreign Affairs, = encl. 7.=20 So far there has not been any action or=20 replies.

I=20 have written on the matter also to Mr Ilkka Kanerva dated = 31.5.2007,=20 present Finnish minister of Foreign Affairs, encl. 8. So far = there=20 has not been any action or replies.

I=20 have written on the matter also to Ms Tuija Brax dated = 29.5.2007,=20 present Finnish minister of Justice, encl. 9. So far there = has not=20 been any action or replies.

I=20 have written on the matter also to MP Kimmo Sasi dated = 29.5.2007,=20 Finnish member of the committee in the Council of Europe = responsible=20 for the nomination of Judges, encl. 10. So far there has not = been=20 any action or replies.

I=20 have written on the matter also to MP Sauli Niinist=F6 dated = 29.5.2007, Chairman of the Parliament, encl. 11. So far = there has=20 not been any action or replies.

Mr=20 Ari Savolainen has made a criminal investigation report on = Ms. P=E4ivi=20 Hirvel=E4-case to Espoo=20 police in Finland=20 number 60101/S/29873/06, encl 12. No action has been=20 taken.

It=20 is quite obvious that no action will take place in Finland = as the highest legal = officer=20 himself has been involved in the process i.e. Chancellor of = Justice=20 Mr Paavo Nikula himself =20 as the = chairman=20 of the selection panel as well as the president of the = Supreme=20 Court Ms = Pauliine=20 Koskelo and the president of the Supreme Administrative = Court=20 Mr. Pekka = Hallberg.=20 They have all known or must have known that Ms. P=E4ivi = Hirvel=E4 has=20 given falsified information in her=20 CV.

I=20 would like to know the situation of this = case

Yours=20 faithfully
