News just in from New York on a new UN Resolution
We the Peoples of the United Nations
Noting the fact the universal human right that people may and indeed do travel from country to country on business, which means that they do not need to be brutalised en route;
Recalling the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment adopted by the General Assembly on 10 December 1984 (especially the good bits about Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment);
Mindful of the need for people to be treated decently;
Determined to rid the world of shoddy service and incompetence in all their myriad forms;
Noting with satisfaction the excellent precedent set by the start of the trial at ICTY of Radovan Karadzic on numerous counts of crimes against humanity;
Further Noting with dismay that on the evening of 25 October the airline Wizz Air was unable to arrange the departure of its scheduled flight from Luton to Katowice at the announced time, viz 2040;
Recoiling in horror at the fact that the aircraft finally left Luton at 0230 approx on 26 October, arriving in Katowice at 0500 with passengers in a severely exhausted condition;
Aghast at the fact that between 1840 when check-in started at Luton and 0130 approx there was as far as could be ascertained not a single announcement made to passengers as to what might be going on with this flight, creating a sense of persecution and Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading treatment among aforesaid passengers;
Hereby Resolve:
Never to fly Wizz Air again.
Never.
And we urge the Security Council to remain seized of the matter, and to consider urgently what legal measures might be taken to compel the management of Wizz Air to explain themselves at the International Criminal Court.
