Advice from the UN

The nice United Nations, which is unable to even agree on criteria to keep North Korea off the Human Rights Council, has got time though to tell New Zealand what it should be doing.

Rodolfo Stavenhagen, whom is a Marxist Mexican Sociology professor has called for New Zealand to:

* entrench the Treaty of Waitangi into law
* give the Waitangi Tribunal powers to direct the Government, rather than recommend
* repeal the Foreshore & Seabed legislation
* Student fees should be lowered and allowances increased so as to stimulate the passage of more Maori students from certificate and diploma to degree level programmes in tertiary education.
* Public media should be encouraged to provide a balanced, unbiased and non-racist picture of Maori in New Zealand society, and an independent commission should be established to monitor their performance and suggest remedial action.

I don’t even know where to start with this stupidity. Should I mention that at present Maori NZers are participating in tertiary education at twice the overall average level?

Oh I can’t even be bothered going through it all. About what I expect from the UN. At least I am consistent with mu UN scepticism, unlike the Government which most of the times holds it up as the fount of all moral authority, exept when they are criticised.
