Official statement from the League of the Human and Citizen Rights.

My comrade Claude Yeiwene has just forwarded me an official statement received by email from the League of the Human and Citizen Rights.
Claude and I sincerely do thank this institution for its support for a cause which we consider just: it is the first time in 16 years that we receive an official sign of solidarity, and not from the least one.
It is an honor for us to be shouldered by brothers and sisters who have seen worse.
Thank you for your bridge in this combat which has nothing personal : a country is not built in spite of the good sense and apart from the legal provisions which belong to him.
Thank you for this gesture and for saying the right words.
Oleti.

Official statement

regarding Nicolas Dubuisson situation.

The League of the Human and citizen rights of New Caledonia is astonished that in a Rule of law like the French Republic, a citizen, Nicolas Dubuisson, is forced to make an hunger strike to take advantage of this right.

After eight years of procedures and three court orders giving him reason, the courts are stated inefficient to make them apply. As for the political officials, as in other similar transactions, they do not even take the trouble to justify their selective deafness.

The LDH-NC points out article 6 of the Declaration of Human rights: “The Law is expression of the general will. All the Citizens have rights to contribute personally, or by their Representatives, within his formation. It must be the same for all, wheter it protects or punishes. All the Citizens, being equal in its eyes, are also acceptable with all public dignities, places and employment, according to their capacity, and without another distinction that their virtues and their talents. ”

The right is not an aim in itself but a mean unanimously recognized to ensure “the maintenance of the happiness of all” (Preamble of the aforesaid the Declaration).

Admittedly, the right is likely “reasonable compromises” in its application. Still that these compromises are reasonable, that is to say public and justified by a court order. In the unvoiced comment, there’s only the not-right, the abuses and the authoritative acts.

The LDH-NC requires that a forthcoming court order or, better, politic decision, puts finally a term at the distress of an honest citizen and clarifies all the others.
