On Not Being Disappeared
[Moozik: Goldfrapp - Number 1]
Not that being a signatory to the treaty is any guarantee that this kind of thing won't happen anyway, still a little worrying though.
PARIS - Nearly 60 countries signed a treaty on Tuesday that bans governments from holding people in secret detention, but the United States and some of its key European allies were not among them.The signing capped a quarter-century of efforts by families of people who have vanished at the hands of governments.
Many other Western nations, including Germany, Spain, Britain and Italy, also did not sign the treaty. France introduced the convention at the U.N. General Assembly in November and it was adopted in December.
