Hospitals & Asylums
New Sentence Describing Hospitals &
Asylums HA-13-1-06
Anthony J. Sanders: title24uscode@aol.com
1. The Regular Session of the Committee on
Nongovernmental Organizations 19-27 January 2006 in New York may describe
the general consultative relationship between HA and the UN in one
parliamentary sentence, by writing:
“Hospitals & Asylums (HA)
is a nongovernmental US rule of law devoted to upholding scientific
international development and human rights standards www.title24uscode.org”
2. This sentence has been
drafted to serve as a birthday present for the author’s mother whose birthday
falls on Friday the 13th, this 2006.
In
3. Hospitals & Asylums
(HA applied to the DESA NGO Section on 21 May 2005. The application seems to have been accepted
as timely and it is hoped that a general consultative relationship between the
UN and HA will be consented to by ECOSOC this January 2006.
4. Justification and sympathy for
the acceptance of HA for general consultative status can be found in General Comment
No. 17 on the right of everyone to benefit from the protection of
the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or
artistic production of which he is the author at the 35th Session of
the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights HA-1-12-05
of 7-27 November 2005 that was adopted on the
21st establishes that there
are three levels of obligations are imposed upon the state as the result of
this right: to respect, protect and fulfill.
Respect requires that State parties refrain from interfering directly or
indirectly with the right to benefit from the protection of the moral and material
interests of the author. The obligation
to protect requires state parties to take measures to prevent third parties
from interfering with the moral and material interests of the author. Finally the obligation to fulfill requires
the State to adopt appropriate legislative, administrative, budgetary, judicial
promotional and other measures toward the full realization. General Comment No. 3
paragraph 12 states that even in times of severe resource constraint the
disadvantaged and marginalized individuals and groups in society must be
protected by relatively low cost targeted programmes. Such steps must be deliberate, concrete and
targeted toward the full realization of everyone to benefit from the protection
of moral and material benefits of works for which he or she is the author. The progressive realization of this right
over a period of time means that State Parties have a specific and continuing
obligation to move expeditiously and effectively as possible towards the full
realization.
5. In
summary HA would like to address the issue of paying for the luxury of this
general consultative relationship with the United Nations in money rather than
merely in kind. This is in fact, not
solicited for by the NGO Section, and we will not confuse the Committee with
what might be considered a bribe. On the
other hand HA is thankful for the fact that no attempt was made to extort money
for the application process the applicant must do the preponderance of the work
and in an ideal world would be entitled to money but none was requested. The objective of HA in this consultative
relationship is to heighten recognition of HA so HA is returned as the top
Internet search engine response for Hospitals & Asylums and listed in human
rights searches and to keep a head above the world table in regards to securing
$24 annual dues + work State membership and consultative relationships with
HA. UN Publications has brought the
concept of HA paying the UN a reasonable sum to light. Every message says: To subscribe to the magazine,
contact UN Publications at publications@un.org

6. Whereas the foundation of the HA international political campaign is actively engaged in encouraging all States to devote 1% of their taxable income to international development under Art. 23 of the Declaration on Social Progress and Development of 11 December 1969 the author feels compelled to relent in his plea of poverty in February and resolves to pay UN Publications $10 a year for continuing email service irregardless of the outcome of the Regular Session of the Committee on Nongovernmental Organizations 19-27 January 2006 in New York.
7. HA promises to continue monthly and quarterly HA email
service to the UN for free in hopes of winning more voluntary contributions in
kind from the Human Rights Committee and in effective $24 annual minimum contributions
needed to make the HA list of members without being a like minded periodical
publisher, responsive subscriber or dedicated researcher.
