If we need to get rid of Guantanamo, should we also dispose of the UN's terrorist watchlist?

One can imagine who pushed that inflated chicken onto the agenda.
And quite rightly it's being challenged.

What do you do with all the dirtbags roaming around Europe then?
Do you mean individuals and organisations of which their connection to terrorism can't be proven?
Or do you mean countries, like the US, who have overtly and covertly supported and still support terrorism is a multitude of countries?

"The Right to a fair trial is an essential right in all countries respecting the rule of law. It is explicitly proclaimed in Article Ten of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."
"English common law and the United States Constitution recognize the right to a jury trial to be a fundamental civil liberty or civil right."
This is the fundamental problem with the UN that I have stated over and over and over again on these forums. It is an unelected body without a ratified Constitution that spells out what powers the member nations have delegated to it.
Occasionally, the result is sheer nonsense.
