	Faculty -- Nancy Maxwell -- Publications -- Netherlands' Government Porposes Legislation to Allow Same-Gender Dutch ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		In 1990, the Dutch courts decided two cases concerning the issue of whether denying same-gender couples the right to marry was a violation of human rights law tinder international treaties.
		Although the Dutch Supreme Court refused to find human rights violations, the Court did recognize that denying same-gender couples certain benefits of marriage may be unjustified, and this denial had the "possibility" of qualifying as discrimination, in violation of international law,.
		Although many states have been quick to enact legislation that would not recognize same-gender marriages from other states, the Dutch marriages may be viewed quite differently since the issues involve another country, not another state and, in particular, a country with which the U.S. wants to maintain good relations.

	The Greatest Jeneration - Dutch begin to fight the WOT on the homefront, deporting 20,000 immigrants
		Nearly 19 percent of the Dutch population of 16 million is of foreign stock, with sizable contributions from Turkey (340,000), Suriname[former Dutch Guiana] (320,000) and Morocco (295,000), according to Agence France-Presse.
		I'm sure that the Dutch don't like to think of themselves as cruel, intolerant or mean, but they're doing what they have to do to save their country and their culture.
		The Netherlands is facing the same depressing demographics that the rest of Europe is: the average age of a large bloc of their citizens is approaching retirement, the cost of their many benefits like nationalized medicine is rising, while tax revenue from the younger working population is declining.

	Treatment of Children
		States have a positive obligation to protect all children within their jurisdiction against abuse, neglect, and exploitation and to ensure that children enjoy an adequate standard of living for their physical, mental, spiritual, moral, and social development.
		It is important to note that states may not discriminate in the provision of the Convention's rights and protections, and must take all appropriate measures to ensure that children are protected from discrimination based, among other things, on the immigration status of a child's parents, legal guardians, or family members.
		Notwithstanding these international standards, the Dutch Council of State (Raad van State) held in February 2002 that the rights embodied in the Convention on the Rights of the Child are not applicable to children whose parents have no right to remain in the Netherlands.

	Council accuses state over old convent deal - theage.com.au
		Yarra City Council has accused the State Government of acting like "the worst kind of developer" over its decision to allow residential development on the north side of the former St Helier's convent in Abbotsford.
		However, the Greens-dominated council passed a motion on Tuesday night opposing the government's decision, saying it jeopardised what little open space was left in the City of Yarra.
		The council's formal opposition contradicts the initial position of its planning committee chairwoman, Judy Morton, who had told The Age she welcomed the announcement as a "real opportunity" to develop an arts precinct.

		Notwithstanding those international obligations the Dutch Council of State held in februari 2002, that the Convention was not appliable on children whose parents have no rights to remain in the Netherlands.

		Yet apart from the fact, that a minister has to abstain from a judgment about current law-procedures, by this remark she was also suggesting to hold a plea for the legally forbidden use of violence between civilians without the legally admitted self-defense situation.

	U.S. is the strongest force in my deportation
		In order to continue treating my asylum case as a political case rather than as a juridical case, the Dutch justice ministry uses unfounded and malicious claims already abandoned by the Manila government and repeatedly nullified by the Dutch Council of State.
		The Dutch government is overeager to please the Manila government because of the enormous interests of such Dutch monopoly firms as Shell, Unilever, ING-Barings and Philips in the Philippines.
		In the hearing of my asylum case before the Dutch Council of State on October 29, 1992, the representative of the Dutch justice ministry openly declared that a government friendly to both the Dutch and Manila governments would be displeased or offe nded if I would be granted asylum in the Netherlands.

		Just before New Year's Day 2005, the Belgian Council of State rejected all of the complaints, ever lodged against the circular letters, which a previous Flemish government had forwarded to municipalities with so-called 'language facilities' for French-speaking inhabitants in order to enact a restrictive application of these 'facilities'.
		This restrictive application as imposed by the above-mentioned circular letters compelled French-speaking people to repeat their demand for a French translation of official documents in Dutch again and again, stating that the Dutch language is to be given priority in Flanders at any rate.
		Thinking of Dutch as a language inferior to French, FDF goes for the full Frenchification of Brussels and the incorporation of most of the Flemish villages surrounding Brussels.
