The Government defends its attack against the Court, criticizes the media and victimizes Cristina Kirchner in a report before the UN

In an unusual denunciation in which it discredits the institutions of Argentina and the powers of democracy that are not related to it, the Government took to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations its attack against the Supreme Court, whose members it

This report, which will be presented to society on Monday,

which, it goes so far as to say, have the purpose of "outlawing" central figures of the political scene”.

In fact, the report that

had access to because it was already published in the Human Rights Council, which is based in Geneva, explicitly mentions that the former president and current vice president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is a victim of the so-called "

", a mechanism which he describes in an almost scholarly way.

Some opposition leaders have already begun to repudiate him on their networks, giving it as a version, such as Senator Federico Pinedo and Deputy Fernando Iglesias.

However, in fact, this has already been presented and its letter cannot be modified.

The former head of the Anti-Corruption Office, Laura Alonso, rejected it.

“The report is disgraceful and undermines our history in terms of human rights.

Talking about ´lawfare´ or ´legal warfare´ is an excuse to violate judicial independence”

, pointed out, for their part, the president of the Civic Coalition Maximiliano Ferraro, and the national deputy Marcela Campagnoli of the bloc of national legislators of the CC.

This report will be presented to the diplomatic community this Monday, the 23rd, at 2:30 p.m. Swiss time, at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.

This activity occurs approximately every five years, since 2006 and by decision of the UN General Assembly.

The Argentine delegation will be headed by the Secretary for Human Rights, Horacio Pietragalla Corti, and the Representative to International Organizations of the government of Alberto Fernández, Federico Villegas Beltrán.

Pietragalla is a leader who uses his office as Secretary of State to staunchly defend the causes of ultra-Kirchnerism

The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is an examination of the human rights situation of all United Nations Member States that offers each country the opportunity to present progress in the area of ​​human rights while receiving "recommendations" from other members of the international community on how to improve the human rights situation in the country under review.

The usual thing is that a "National Report" is presented on their situation or progress in human rights, presenting the best face on the matter before the international community, on Health, Education, Discrimination, Children's Rights. 

But the Government used it to victimize itself of the "

or legal war" against Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

In that train he maintains that this practice

He says that

is a practice that violates human rights, a policy of harassment, proscription and political persecution in the courts, a fraudulent criminal process against political figures representing popular sectors, for which he finally demands the "accompaniment of the Council of Human Rights”.

Giving an example, he says: “Another of the challenges facing our country is the phenomenon of “lawfare” or “legal warfare”.

And he assures: "The current National Government and the human rights movement warn that the practice of lawfare - promoted by sectors of the Judiciary, the political opposition and concentrated sectors of economic and media power - constitutes a practice that violates human rights and operates as a conditioner of the electoral processes, of the political agenda and of public opinion".

It goes on to say that in these legal cases, such as those faced by the former President of the Nation, under the excuse of investigating and punishing acts of corruption, "fundamental guarantees of the Rule of Law are violated", that basic guarantees of due process are ignored. process such as the presumption of innocence, the right to defense and the principle of objectivity that should guide the actions of the Public Prosecutor's Office.

And it affirms that these criminal cases are promoted only "against political figures who represent popular sectors, while powerful sectors are maintained in impunity, which have allowed or endorsed the criminal indebtedness that has generated poverty and indigence in the population."

He goes on and complains that "although the National Government changed in December 2019, and thus ended the practice of subjugation of judicial independence by the National Executive Power, political persecution in the courts is fully in force, as members of the The Judiciary and the Public Prosecutor's Office continue to carry out fraudulent criminal proceedings against the main political figures of the current ruling party, formerly in opposition to the government of the previous administration."

The report says that "the persecution strategies, whose ultimate goal is the banning of central figures on the political scene, are carried out in practice by judges and prosecutors who regularly visited the former president, both at his official residence and in his private residences, which demonstrates the spurious coexistence between both sectors and the continuity of a policy of harassment that affects the democratic principles of our country, especially those that make the independence and impartiality with which the Nation's Judicial Power and the Ministries must act. Public"

Then he demands the accompaniment of the Human Rights Council "to strengthen judicial independence, the legitimacy of the justice service and, ultimately,

The report has school characteristics at times.

For example, when you try to explain in greater detail some references within the document, open footnotes.

For example:

“(169) Lawfare is a practice that violates human rights, first of all, insofar as it violates the fundamental rights of the direct victims who are the object of its actions (political leaders, former public officials and leaders of organizations social and union).

Secondly, because it enables the design and implementation of public policies with a clear regressive bias in terms of human rights (especially the set of economic, social and cultural rights), which have a profound impact on society as a whole.

(171) Recently, a complaint was filed against the Argentine State before the United Nations Human Rights Committee by a group of important international jurists, alleging that serious irregularities have been committed in the criminal proceedings against Dr. Kirchner” This unusual presentation breaks with a golden rule in the international arena in the sense that in this Review, government officials fully defend their country's position against eventual criticism from the international community.

In this case, Kirchnerism uses this forum to discredit Argentina, accusing sectors of the political opposition, the judiciary, the economic sectors, and the press, with harsh rhetoric, of conspiring against democratic principles in the country.
