Humane Right to Armed Self defence.
The right of self-defense (also called, when it applies to
the defense of another, alter ego defense, defense of
others, defense of a third person) is the right for people to use
reasonable force or defensive force, for the purpose of defending one's own
life or the lives of others, including, in certain circumstances, the use
of deadly force.[1]
If a defendant uses defensive force because of a threat of deadly or
grievous harm by the other person, or a reasonable perception of such harm, the
defendant is said to have a "perfect self-defense" justification.[2] If
defendant uses defensive force because of such a perception, and the perception
is not reasonable, the defendant may have an "imperfect self-defense" as an excuse.[2]
Thwarted by the demise of its global gun ban treaty, the United
Nations declares the human right of self-defense null and void
As far as I can tell, no country is listed for restricting the natural, civil
and human right to self-defense. So, it appears Human Rights Watch doesn’t care
that people are prevented by their governments from protecting
themselves.
In legal terms, Australians have a right of self-defence. While some
states rely on the common law and others have it enshrined in statute, the
right itself is never questioned. Moreover, juries consistently refuse to
convict those charged with serious offences whenever self-defence is made out.
What we don’t have is the practical ability to exercise that right.
Possessing any object specifically for the purpose of self-defence, lethal or
non-lethal, is a criminal offence. There are many women, raped and/or murdered,
who would have been liable to prosecution had they been carrying anything that
might have saved them.
The massive Police and government anti-terror apparatus failed
yet again to protect the public. How many more reminders do the public
need that the state is not their god and saviour? This is not a sleight at
Police, but as we’ve discussed at length previously they are
reactionary only and in terms of firearms, held to a lower standard than Category H licence holders. Even Queensland Police admit this.
It’s time to get serious about empowering the public by letting them
have the opportunity to defend themselves, and end this useless and dangerous
obsession with denying people the basic means and right to
practical non-lethal and licenced lethal forms of
self-defence, in the name of ‘muh public safety’.
RESIDENTS have backed calls from the Shooters Union Australia for the
government to clarify and strengthen self-defence laws.
SUA vice president David Brown wants the ambiguity around gun laws,
which leave licensed firearms owners at risk of prosecution for defending their
homes from intruders, clarified.
Mr Brown this week told The Chronicle guns were the "only means
of levelling the playing field against an aggressor", and his view has
earned support from readers.
Human Rights Act 2004 Australia.
9 Right to life (1) Everyone has the right to life. In particular,
no-one may be arbitrarily deprived of life.
11 Protection of the family and children Note Family has a broad
meaning (see ICCPR General Comment 19 (39th session, 1990)). (1) The family is
the natural and basic group unit of society and is entitled to be protected by
society. (2) Every child has the right to the protection needed by the child
because of being a child, without distinction or discrimination of any kind.
18 Right to liberty and security of person (1) Everyone has the right
to liberty and security of person.
Part 3B Limits on human rights 28 Human rights may be limited (1)
Human rights may be subject only to reasonable limits set by laws that can be
demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. (2) In deciding
whether a limit is reasonable, all relevant factors must be considered,
including the following: (a) the nature of the right affected; (b) the
importance of the purpose of the limitation; (c) the nature and extent of the
limitation; (d) the relationship between the limitation and its purpose; (e)
any less restrictive means reasonably available to achieve the purpose the
limitation seeks to achieve.
There is nothing in this human rights document that actually states
that we have a right to defend ourselves or our families. The United Nations
says that we have NO right to defend ourselves or our families against harm!
Possessing any object specifically for the purpose of self-defence,
lethal or non-lethal, is a criminal offence (in Australia). There are many
women, raped and/or murdered, who would have been liable to prosecution had
they been carrying anything that might have saved them.
