2008-07-13 IS THIS A PURE FINNISH AFFAIR ANYMORE?

Dear Mr. Barack Obama and The Team Fantastic,
 
Our Foreign Minister Alexander Stubb is visiting USA nowadays and meeting his colleagues and perhaps you also. I hope you`ll take new steps in collaboration with Finland.

During his membership in European Parliament Minister Stubb was well informed about the problems following. They are concerning about human rights based on our Constitutional and The Universal Declaration of Human Rights by United Nations.

We are a group of permanently ill and disabled patients who have discovered that we`are fighting alone against large insurance companies (in scale of Finland) and the Finnish government.

In Finland the legal security in insurance matters works only on paper. Well at least our important forest industry benefits from it.

Selling and maintaining of mandatory work related insurance policies has been outsourced to private insurance companies by the state of Finland.

The easiest way for insurance companies as stock market companies to make money for the stock holders is to deny payments, even those guaranteed by Finnish laws and the terms & conditions of insurance policies.

Rejecting decisions are made without giving any actual grounds for them and if the main issue has been on medical facts then a so called insurance doctor can make a rejecting decision simply with the word "NO".

In the leash of President of Finland Tarja Halonen (Social Democrat), Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen (Central Party) and parliamentary chairman Sauli Niinisto (Conservative party) the Finnish parliament and representatives from the different sides of interest groups in the labour market are aware of the appalling situation.

During 2003 – 2007 these parties prepared and approved law packages that further strengthened the superior status of insurance companies. As the worst novelty there is now a so called intrapment between two doctors according to which the legal position of an insurance doctor is next to God.

The law packages is called ”The Finnish Healthcare Trap: Caught in-between two doctors”. It’s Finnish version about Michael Moore’s document SiCKO.

This causes for example that a patient injured in an accident or one that has been sick because of an occupational disease doesn't get quickly the necessary medical care and rehabilitation prescribed by the caretaking doctor.

This only leaves the option of waiting in queues to get into public healthcare, where you have to wait for 6 months to get into necessary examinations, then wait another 6 months to get into necessary medical care such as operation, followed by a 6 month long queue to get rehab.

Even though according to the terms of the insurance policy the patient has the right to get fast to treatment in the private health care sector.

At the same in order to maintain the right for compensation set in the terms of the insurance policy the patient has to start legal process against the insurance company within 30 days. The legal processes takes at the moment three years and insurance companies win 80-100 % of them.

Next we tell you what is the reason for this.

For legal disputes regarding insurance matters in Finland there is a special insurance court system that decides on the disputes with documents. The patient is not told on which documents the verdicts are based on! The system of insurance courts is paid by the insurance companies.

We believe that this Finnish system is against UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, European Convention on Human Rights and even the Constitution Law.

For your information. The state of Finland owns 14% of the stocks of the private insurance company IF at the same time acting as the only law enforcer of the insurance sector in Finland. Perhaps you can also ask after this subjects when you are meeting our politicians.

Frozen facts about Finland – Jäätäviä totuuksia Suomesta

PRESS RELEASE

Finland does not respect the human rights of its citizens

Human Rights of Finland (HRF) is a non-political website founded by several civic organisations that monitor the human rights situation in Finland.

Hosting different events gives Finland an opportunity to market itself to the rest of the world with empty phrases and images that cover the gloomy reality. By doing so Finland wants cover up such facts as the poor legal protection people in Finland have against the missuse of power by members of the judicial system and various authorities. These practices have the silent approval of those in power.

In Finland there are tens of thousands of disabled people without real human rights and legal protection. The true life of these people is best described in the novel "The Trial" by Franz Kafka. It is a fact that in Finland these unfortunate people are living literally in a nauseous society. A society that is leading the statistics (proportioned to the amount of inhabitants) on suicides, depression and violations of human rights in Europe.

The blurred practices that are predominant in Finland make it possible for insurance doctors that are "trained" by the insurance companies to dictate policies, where the borders of legality, ethics and humanity have in practice disappeared. To this "mob" like system it is peculiar the hiding of its actions and the systematic vitiation of statements given by those doctors that have treated the patients. They don´t have to give any grounds why their decisions are divergent of evidence presented to the court. Still their decisions are fully accepted in the Finnish judicial system and legality control.

In proportion per capita Finland is receiving very many convictions from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Finland is convicted nearly twice as many times as all countries on average. Compared to the other Scandinavian countries Finland is convicted nearly seven (7) times more often than the others and in comparison: Russia has 30 times more inhabitants than Finland but is convicted only 5 times more often than Finland at the ECHR.

The amount of complaints coming from Finland to the ECHR is even rising because the convictions that Finland is receiving from the ECHR does not have any effect on national workings. The arbitrary proceedings are continuing year after year with the acceptance of those in power and the weak ones in society are left in abandonment.

The reputation of Finland is not improved by the fact that according to a survey of Transparency International (2003) the confidence of Finnish people towards the judicial system being free of corruption is poor. The only area that scored weaker points was the political system. This survey was done in 44 countries, 30 487 people were interviewed. Only in Peru, Indonesia and Cameroon the judicial system was less relied on than in Finland.

The things described above are expressions of how the grey administration in Finland functions. The nonchalant attitude of Finland towards human rights is a disgrace to the European Union. The actions of Finland are impossible to ethically approve by any civilized western country.

Human Rights of Finland (HRF) is urging Finnish and international media, active people and communities working in the field of human rights to raise awareness on the gloomy human rights situation in Finland so that Finland would start to develop in a more humane direction due to pressure coming from the international community.

Our politicians are mostly silent – do they take orders from the grey administration?Thank you for your co-operation

Suomi ei kunnioita kansalaistensa ihmisoikeuksia

Human Rights of Finland (HRF) on poliittisesti sitoutumaton ja puolueeton suomalaisten ihmisoikeuksia valvovien kansalaisjärjestöjen perustama ihmisoikeusyhteisö.

Erilaisten tapahtumien myötä Suomelle tarjoutuu ainutlaatuisia tilaisuuksia markkinoida Suomea maailmalle korulauseilla ja synkän todellisuuden peittävillä mielikuvilla. Tässä markkinoinnissa vaietaan siitä, että tapaturmissa vammautuneet tai sairastuneet kansalaiset saavat eteensä mielivaltaisella tavalla perustelemattomia päätöksiä tuottavan ”oikeuslaitoksen” ja tämän toiminnan hyväksyvät vaikenemisellaan maan ylimmät päättäjät.

Suomessa elää kymmeniätuhansia vajaakuntoisia ihmisiä vailla todellisia ihmisoikeuksia ja oikeusturvaa. Näiden kansalaisten todellista elämää kuvaa parhaiten kirjailija Franz Kafkan teos Oikeusjuttu. Tosiasia on, että Suomessa nämä heikompiosaiset kansalaiset elävät sananmukaisesti pahoinvointiyhteiskunnassa. Yhteiskunnassa, joka asukasmäärään suhteutettuna johtaa itsemurhien, masentuneiden ja ihmisoikeusloukkausten tilastoja EU:ssa.

Suomessa vallitsevat epämääräiset käytännöt mahdollistavat vakuutusyhtiöiden ”kouluttamien” vakuutuslääkäreiden sanelupolitiikan, jossa laillisuuden, eettisyyden ja inhimillisyyden rajat ovat käytännössä kadonneet. Tälle mafiamaiselle ja suomalaisen yhteiskunnan sallimalle järjestelmälle on omaleimaista toiminnan salailu ja potilaita hoitaneiden lääkäreiden lausuntojen systemaattinen vesittäminen ilman mitään perusteluita. Perustelemattomuus ja oikeudelle esitetystä näytöstä täysin poikkeavat päätökset hyväksytään sellaisenaan suomalaisissa tuomioistuimissa ja niiden laillisuusvalvonnassa.

Suomi saa väkilukuun suhteutettuna erittäin paljon langettavia päätöksiä Euroopan ihmisoikeustuomioistuimesta. Moitteita tulee lähes kaksi kertaa niin paljon kuin muille maille keskimäärin. Muihin pohjoismaihin verrattuna Suomi saa noin seitsenkertaisen määrän langettavia päätöksiä ja esimerkiksi Venäjällä väkiluku on Suomeen nähden 30 kertaa suurempi, mutta tuomioita tulee vain viisinkertainen määrä.

Suomen ihmisoikeusloukkaukset ovat tilastojakin suuremmat, sillä valitusoikeus Euroopan ihmisoikeustuomioistuimeen salataan kansallisista päätöksistä ja myös juttuja ostetaan tuomioistuimesta pois nimellisellä korvauksella ennen langettavaa tuomiota.

Suomesta tehtävien valitusten määrä vain lisääntyy koska langettavilla tuomioilla ei ole ollut mitään todellista vaikutusta kansallisiin toimintatapoihin. Mielivaltainen menettely jatkuu vuodesta toiseen Suomen valtaapitävien sallimana ja heikoimmassa asemassa olevat ihmiset jätetään heitteille.

Suomen mainetta ei kohenna fakta, että Transparency Internationalin tutkimustulosten mukaan (2003) luottamus Suomen oikeuslaitoksen korruptoimattomuuteen on heikko ja sitä heikompi instanssi oli vain Suomen kansallinen puoluejärjestelmä. Tämä haastattelu tehtiin 44 maassa ja siihen osallistui 30487 ihmistä. Kansainvälisesti vertailtuna Suomea heikommin luotettiin vain Perun, Indonesian ja Kamerunin oikeuslaitoksiin.

Suomen ihmisoikeuksista piittaamaton toimintatapa on häpeä koko Euroopan unionille. Suomen toimintatapaa on täysin mahdotonta eettisesti hyväksyä yhdellekään ”sivistyneelle” länsimaalle.

HRF pyytää suomalaista ja kansainvälistä mediaa, ihmisoikeusaktivisteja ja yhteisöjä nostamaan esille Suomen synkän ihmisoikeustilanteen, jotta edes julkisuuden paineen kautta tilanne alkaisi kehittyä inhimillisempään suuntaan.

Suurin osa politiikoistamme on epäkohdista hiljaa – ottavatko he vastaan harmaan hallinnon käskyjä?
