Ion Tiriac accuses the French weekly "Le Point" of defamatory statements and demands 100,000 euros in compensation. The trial opened in Paris on November 24.

The trial of Ion Tiriac against Franz-Olivier Giesbert, the director of the French weekly "Le Point", opened on November 24 at the High Court in Paris.

The Romanian businessman, represented by the lawyer Henri Leclerc, accuses "Le Point" of "defamatory statements infringing on honor and consideration. The crime is provided for and repressed by the law of July 29, 1881.

The object of the complaint is the article entitled "Romania's reckless contract", published by "Le Point" on May 19. Specifically, two peppered passages. The two journalists report in detail the scandal triggered in Romania by the contract for border security (1 billion euros), concluded on August 12, 2004 by the Nastase government with the French-German multinational EADS.

(Proving unfavorable, the megacontract was renegotiated by the current government and "lowered" from 650 to 524 million euros.) In the criminal complaint submitted to the court this summer, the law firm SCP Henri Leclerc & Associes quotes the full article, signed by Jean Guisnel and Laszlo Liszkai.

Guam could benefit from the streamlining the adoption process here, especially foster children who need homes and people who want to bring these children into their homes and families.

Department of Youth Affairs Director Melanie Brennan, who currently has oversight of Child protective Services, has said just a few foster children go up for adoption. There are 432 children in different types of foster care placement, most with relatives.

Bill 108 and Bill 109, introduced by Sen. Mary Torres, would involve independent adoption agencies in the Bureau of Social Services Administration’s process for finding children homes. The aim is “easing the burden of Guam’s already-strained foster care system.”

Bill 108 would allow adoption agencies to help in the screening and placement of children available for adoption. Bill 109 would give adoption agencies involvement in the placement of newborns given up through the Newborn Infant Safe Haven Act.

Sens. Joanne Brown and Telo Taitague are concerned with the lack of regulations for adoption agencies. Department of Public Health and Social Services Deputy Director Terry Aguon also raised concerns.

Vi skal i Danmark passe på med, at vi ikke krænker forældrenes ret til familieliv, som er en del af deres Menneskerettigheder. Sådan lyder det fra flere eksperter i forbindelse med aftaleteksten til Børnene Først, der lægger op til, at man kan træffe beslutning om bortadoption af børn, allerede før de er født.

I en række artikler har vi på K-NEWS undersøgt Børnene Først. Dette er sidste artikel i serien.

Norge blev i 2019 dømt af den Europæiske Menneskerettighedsdomstol (EMD) for at have krænket Menneskerettighedskonventionens artikel 8, der dækker over retten til privat- og familieliv. Sagen handlede om en mor, hvis tre-årige datter var blevet bortadopteret uden samtykke. Dommen lagde vægt på, at Norge ikke havde gjort et ordentligt forebyggende arbejde inden beslutning om bortadoption, og derfor var der allerede der sket en overtrædelse af konventionen.

I Danmark lægger aftaleteksten til Børnene Først og en ny Barnets Lov op til, at kommunerne skal have mulighed for at træffe afgørelse om en bortadoption, allerede før barnet er født. I udspillet til aftalen, der kom før den endelige aftaletekst, talte man endda om at ville lempe reglerne for adoption uden samtykke. Hos Institut for Menneskerettigheder, hvor Anette Faye Jacobsen er seniorforsker, holdt man meget nøje øje med netop denne del.
