Bill Mitchell — Greek Austerity – A Denial Of Basic Human Rights, Penalization Should Move Imprisonment

I convey only finished reading a written report published yesteryear the Transnational Institute(TNI), which is an “international query as well as advocacy flora committed to edifice a just, democratic as well as sustainable world”. The Report (published Nov 19, 2018) – Democracy Not For Sale – is harrowing, to order the least. We larn that inward an advanced European acre amongst a glorious tradition as well as history an increasing issue of people are beingness denial access to basic nutrition only every bit a trial of economical policy changes that convey been imposed on it yesteryear exterior agencies (European Commission, European Central Bank as well as the IMF). The Report shows how the nutrient provide has been negatively impacted yesteryear the austerity programs; how nutrient prices convey been forced upwardly at the same fourth dimension every bit incomes convey been forced down, as well as how collective as well as cooperative arrangements convey been destroyed yesteryear privatisation as well as deregulation impositions. The Report concludes that the Greek State as well as the Eurozone Member United States of America violated the Greek people’s correct to nutrient every bit a trial of the austerity measures required yesteryear 3 Memorandums of Understanding (2010, 2012 as well as 2015). In other words, the austerity packages imposed on Hellenic Republic contravened international human rights law. Not i soul has gone to prison theater every bit a trial of this deliberate as well as calculated violation of human rights.
