Smedema’s Allegations: Demmink, Obama, and UNCAT Complaint
Several sources discuss Hans Smedema’s attempts to file complaints with international bodies and the alleged obstruction he faced. It appears strategic to address the paradox situation concerning Joris Demmink’s alleged manipulation of information provided to these organizations before detailing specific legal violations such as UNCAT.
The Paradox of Joris Demmink’s Influence
Smedema contends that his efforts to seek justice have been consistently undermined by the actions of Joris Demmink, who served as the Secretary-General of the Dutch Ministry of Justice from 2002 to 2013. Smedema alleges that Demmink, described as a “rapist mole traitor”, exploited his position to manipulate and conceal evidence related to Smedema’s case.
According to Smedema, Demmink ensured that investigations into his alleged persecution were blocked and that any information provided to international bodies, such as the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and UNCAT, was falsified to discredit him. Smedema argues that Demmink deliberately omitted crucial information, created the impression that there was no file on Smedema’s case, and portrayed him as mentally unstable.
Smedema believes that this manipulation made it impossible for him to succeed with his complaints, as any investigation relying on information provided by the Dutch Ministry of Justice would be inherently flawed. He sees a pattern of obstruction and manipulation that reinforces his belief in a powerful conspiracy working against him. Smedema claims that the Dutch government repeatedly uses “State Security” as a justification for denying him access to information, which he feels shields the alleged conspiracy from scrutiny and accountability.
Obama’s UNCAT Complaint and Other Legal Actions
Smedema has pursued various international legal avenues, believing that the Dutch system was rigged against him. He sought political asylum in the US on three separate occasions. Smedema claims that President Obama filed a complaint on his behalf with the UN Human Rights Council in January 2017. In 2005, Smedema filed a complaint with the ECHR, alleging violations of his human rights by the Dutch government. However, the complaint was rejected, with Smedema asserting the ECHR’s decision relied on false information provided by the Dutch Ministry of Justice.
Smedema claims that former US President Barack Obama initiated an official UNCAT complaint of the United States against the Netherlands on his behalf in January 2017. He believes that the Landsadvocaat (the Dutch government’s legal counsel) should have been involved since 2009, when Smedema first sought asylum in the US, or at least since January 2017, when Obama allegedly initiated the UNCAT complaint.
Smedema says that in January 2017 President Obama used his extra powers to make sure his case would go to UNCAT or a Special Procedure by the State of America against the State of the Netherlands.
UNCAT and the Failure to Investigate
UNCAT rules explicitly place the burden of investigation on the State, not the victim. The sources suggest that Smedema’s claims, if true, would fall under the definition of torture and ill-treatment, due to the drugging, conditioning, and psychological manipulation he claims to have endured. Smedema believes that the Dutch government has violated the UNCAT rules by not investigating his case. Smedema asserts that the Dutch government has actively obstructed his attempts to seek justice. He claims that he has been denied legal representation, that his claims have been dismissed without proper investigation, and that his efforts to raise awareness about the alleged misconduct have been suppressed.
Recommendations
- Address the Paradox: Begin the complaint by outlining the paradox created by Joris Demmink’s alleged manipulation of information. Explain how this manipulation has hindered previous attempts to seek justice and how it continues to be a significant obstacle.
- Detail Obama’s UNCAT Complaint: Provide specific details about the UNCAT complaint filed by President Obama in January 2017. Explain the basis for the complaint, the evidence supporting it, and the fact that it was initiated after investigations by American authorities.
- Highlight UNCAT Violations: Emphasize that UNCAT places the burden of investigation on the State, not the victim. Argue that the Dutch government’s failure to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the allegations, especially after receiving President Obama’s UNCAT complaint, constitutes a violation of international law.
- Mention Other Legal Actions: Briefly mention the other legal actions Smedema has taken, such as seeking asylum in the US and filing complaints with the ECHR and the European Parliament. Explain how these attempts were also thwarted, allegedly due to the actions of the Dutch government.
- Request an Impartial Investigation: Urge the European Commission to conduct its own impartial investigation into the matter, independent of the Dutch government. Stress the importance of uncovering the truth and ensuring accountability for any violations of international, Dutch, and EU laws.
