Well my solution to this problem, would be to attempt aquire some kind of
diplomatic immunity.
Yasser Arafat (Israel permitting) can go where he likes, even Mugabe was
allowed into Rome.
Surely there ought to be some Unitied Nations agency that could issue
special diplomatic status visas to people who are denied visas for patently
discriminatory reasons so that they can attend conferences.
I am absolutely serios about this, if anyone knows whether there is such an
agency, or whether there are well respected libertarian states who are
prepared to grant such temporary status I would like to know.
The fact is that true malefactors travel on false passports there seems in
this wicked world no reward for honesty.
This is a major injustice which the UN should within its code of human
rights attempt to rectify.
