Does the EU even have jurisdiction to investigate a event 140 years ago in a non-member state?
This has Gobbo written all over it, with the conspiracy angle, and Eurotrash Anti-Semetism the rest (not saying Gobbo is Anti Semetic).
I think the EU should investigate Mongolia next for the Crimes of Ghenghis Khan, and Italy for Nero.
Given that the headquarters of the Catholic Church is in Europe, or at the very least Vatican City is surrounded by Europe, that portion of the investigation could make sense. Anglicanism has its headquarters in England, so again within the EU.
The United Church I assume is the UC of Canada and here the only jurisdiction would come in if somehow the Queen’s (England’s that is) jurisdiction makes this apply.
But Heck, anyone can investigate.
And the relevant churches did do some absolutely horrible stuff to natives. And up to fairly recently.
Vatican isn’t part of EU, it’s a neutral state and the EU legally lacks jurisdiction over the Vatican persay. However, the priests and civilians are not the Vatican persay… However, this happed 140 YEARS AGO.
Likewise, Canada was only very, very, very briefly even hypothetically connected to the EU via England. Canada was informed by the Queen in 1982 and really should start looking out for itself, but England joined the EU in 1973. However, autonomous regions under EU nation states aren’t necessarily part of the EU, and they’ve been known to succeed from the EU bullshit. I’ve found this old treaty from that potential overlap period that shows the EU wasn’t aware it controlled Canada, or vice versa.
ec.europa.eu/world/agreements/pr … eatyId=267
However, they can pull a Mao and claim Canada is legitimately EU territory someday, like with the Ming-Tibet connection if the ever care to.
The supposed massacres took place after the English cobbled together Canada and gave it Autonomy… the same autonomy they had under the above treaty, where the EU recognized Canada as a seperate state.
So I don’t see how the EU can begin to pretend it has any kind of jurisdiction here. It’s like, 5-7 generations ago… truely history.
Like, if the EU came here, saying they wanted to investigate the Alagonquin Indians use of Biological Weapons on the Cherokee Indians, we would slap the diplomats, give them a atomic wedgie, and send the crackheads on their way back home. If they went to investigate Chile and Peru for 19th century war crimes against Bolivia, I think Peru and Chile would be within full right to detain the bootleg ambassadors and have their fucking heads examined, and to present a map of EU member states, and then one of South America, and ask them if they comprehend the difference.
It’s stupid shit. I think half of Europe thinks the EU literally is ‘the international community’, as in the world. It’s not, it’s a protostate. It does not have universal jurisdiction, only over itself. It’s not the UN, and non members are not a part of it.
It’s a confusingly set up page you linked to, so I am not sure if their complaints are limited to the massacre. But the massacre was approved of by the Crown of England, according to the site. This would make it an EU thing.
I don’t know what Powers an EU inquiry would have or what the natives are hoping for. Sometimes just an admission that something happened and it was wrong. England has interesting laws around lawsuits, however, some of these around libel are often used by internation Corporations, so perhaps they could try to sue. But then, that is England and not the EU.
EU might simply being called in to bring pressure to bear on the Vatican - which I said might simply be surrounded by Europe - and the Anglican Church to confess. Whether all this is leadingto calls for reparations, I don’t know.
I don’t think a Embargo by the EU will last very long, given quite a few member states are predominantly Catholic.
I recall the Femme Nazis tried a similar tactic on Mt. Athos, they’ve been a autonomous region since Roman times (Eastern Roman Empire didn’t collapse till 1400s, so unlike Vatican being a sovereign, independent principality, eastern churches were self administering territories under the empire).
The Femme-Nazis tried to abuse EU law by saying Mt. Athos broke the constitution, by refusing women entry to visit, but women haven’t been allowed to visit in thousands of years, it’s a monastic retreat for men, women have their own monasteries.
It ended with The Autonomous Republics of Mt. Athos leaving the EU. Best of luck with a Embargo on them, the locals would fly food in off of pigeons and hang gliders.
Same with the Vatican. It’s surrounded by Catholics, and worst comes to worst it can move it’s operations out if Italy. There are a lot of Embassies it can operate in friendly Catholic lands.
That link was off the wall… I don’t know what Canadian Law is for disturbing graves, the article even said he was asked to leave the graves alone by the Indians. As to it being a crown issue… that means the EU can muddle it’s nose officially in the US for eras we were under the crown, and have wack jobs like that hack through 300 year old graveyards despite being told to stop in the quest of ‘truth’. Uh… no.
