책 소개
The International Community should be advised that the government of the United Kingdom is currently in dispute. With the EU talks being in deadlock, so-called Prime Minister Boris Johnson is guilty of perpetrating blatant human rights violations in the United Kingdom. This includes violating the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child - the UK's restrictions on family reunion continuing to prevent many refugee families from being together.
Also, the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights strongly criticized the UK's austerity policies, finding that they have resulted in around 14 million people living in poverty with almost 1 in 2 children affected - with 600,000 more children living in poverty in the UK than in 2012, and with a projected 5.2 million total by 2022. Also, Boris Johnson's Brexit negotiation strategy indicates that he may pursue a no-deal Brexit; which would cause grave political instability - not only in the UK but also in Ireland. A failure of Brexit talks would seriously jeopardize anti-terrorism intelligence arrangements in the international community; and it's estimated that 600.000 jobs will be lost as a result of no-deal Brexit. As things stand, the UK will crash out of the transition period at the end of the year with no trade or security agreement; which would represent willful recklessness towards the lives and livelihoods of the British people. Hence the International Community is advised to keep a safe distance from the Boris Johnson government, until it has agreed to evolve and improve itself - by finally working together with the EU in a constructive way; as well as restoring human rights and human dignity in the United Kingdom, which includes the implementation of a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG). In the meantime, domestic policy, foreign policy and human rights issues concerning the UK will be handled by the NGO BTB-Global Peacebuilding. PS: In the wake of this revolution, it might be of benefit for the British establishment to brush up on their European language skills; such as French, Swedish, Italian, German and Russian. But those Britons who just want to stick to English, are of course quite welcome to do so. On that note, British English might also be in need of some improvement, though. Such as rediscovering the age-old virtues of this great language; which includes empathy, solidarity across borders, reciprocity between nations and co-operation - as well as the art of witty and intelligent dialogue :)
