Subject: [bullyonline] "Please have your say on EU plans for mental
health"
Ms Kathy Sinnott MEP (Member of European
Parliament) appears to have recently issued an invitation to "Please have your
say on EU plans for mental health".
Apparently, this invitation is
connected with a European Commission Green Paper titled:
"Promoting the
Mental Health of the Population. Towards a Strategy on Mental health for the
European Union".
Some quotes from Ms Sinnott's invitation
follow:
"Up to now the strategy has been formulated by 'experts', or what
is known as key stakeholders. With the publication of the Green paper on mental
health, the 'expert' stage is over. The future strategy is now at its most
important stage - public consultation. This is our stage, our chance to
influence the strategy. "
"Please join me."
"Send them your
story of mental ill health, its causes, struggles and treatments."
The
full text of Ms Sinnott's invitation, plus an opportunity to comment, can be

sample "comment" from the above address, which relates (indirectly) to Complex
PTSD caused by bullying, has been reproduced

Abuses and neglect of Human
Rights Law by politicians & lawyers
by W. Finnerty Saturday, Dec 3 2005,

What about all of the psychological injury and damage caused by
Republic of Ireland and EU politicians and lawyers who appear to be completely
ignoring very important sections of Human Rights Law?
As far as I know,
and as just one of many shocking examples I could provide, it appears that
Minister for Justice Michael McDowell TD (himself a lawyer I understand) is
completely ignoring the contents of the letter to him shown at the following
address - which involves human rights issues, and which includes a very clear
and easy to understand report from a GP:

Also, and according to information at the Atlantic Philanthropies
address provided below, Ireland is the only country in the European Union not to
have incorporated the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic
legislation:

Is there anybody or any group or organisation in the EU to police Human
Rights Law - and if not, why not?
