Israel's statehood was contingent on upholding the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. How fitting it would be if Norway would live up to its ambition as a "peace nation" and honor the banner bearer of the Nobel Peace Prize and its original intention to support non-violence and peace, not militarism or empire.
Norway will do a great service to humanity by issuing Mordechai Vanunu a Norwegian "foreigner's passport", which according to the lawyers is a right for all states to protect persecuted people in other parts of the world.
Norway can provide the Win-Win answer for Israel and Vanunu by securing a laissez-passer for him before his July 8, 2008 court date when he faces the possibility of six months more in jail just for speaking to foreign media in 2004.
Norway can play a crucial role in the Mid-East peace efforts in demanding Israel honor and uphold the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.- Article 13-2.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. -Article 19.
