Human Rights✊⚖
!humanrights@crazypeople.online is a SAFE place to discuss human rights and related laws.

Human rights law comes from many sources. E.g:
- 1948 (UDHR) Universal Declaration of Human Rights
- 1950 (ECHR) European Convention on Human Rights
- 1953 (CPHRFF) Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms
- 1976 (CCPR) International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
- 1976 (CESCR) International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights
- 2016 (CFREU) Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU
One important factor that makes this forum a safe structure is that silent down votes are impossible. Rationale:
- Down votes are a form of suppression.
- Silent down votes are uncivil and antithetical to human rights because they deny the other person the dignity of understanding.
How to express your urge to down vote: post a civil criticism that avoids logical fallacy (ad hominems in particular). Or up-vote an existing civil post that captures your criticism.
Moderation:
The moderator has a hands-off moderation style generally. However, human rights matters in a place calling itself “safe” calls for an extra degree of civility, thus uncivil posts will likely be more prone to mod intervention than other forums under the same moderation team (a team of 1 ATM).
Thanks! IIUC (from a machine translation), there is no code of “good administrative” conduct for Germany:
Administrative Procedure Act (VwVfG) § 10 Non-formal nature of the administrative procedure The administrative procedure is not bound to specific forms unless there are special legal provisions for the form of the procedure. It is simple, practical and quick to carry out.
It is up to every administration to determine what that means
In other words, it's total nonsense
I wouldn’t go that far. I mean, it’s not great that they have the liberty of writing a vague or minimal standard for themselves. But at least you can hold them to their own standard. And in situations where there is no standard in place, you can argue that your CFREU Art.41 rights are generally undermined.
A good judge would treat an unwritten standard in favor of the complainant. There is a legal concept in contract law that says the benefit of vague or ambiguous terms in a contract goes to the party who did not draft the contract. This principle punishes the side who had the advantage of writing the contract for their negligence. Hopefully a similar concept would be considered in the case of good administration. Not sure if this principle exists in Europe or how realistic that is.
I have encountered several cases where a Belgian administrative office violated the Belgian standards. In principle I can escalate a complaint on that basis. I would not consider this useless.
