Kriegsverbrechen-Urteil: "Eine Niederlage für die Menschenrechte" - SPIEGEL ONLINE - Nachrichten - Politik		War crimes ruling: "A defeat for human rights" - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International
..."Das Urteil ist eine Niederlage für die Menschenrechte", beklagte die Grünen-Vorsitzende Claudia Roth in Berlin. Sie forderte die Bundesregierung auf, von sich aus mehr für die Entschädigung von Nazi-Opfern zu tun.		... "The ruling is a defeat for human rights," lamented Green Party Chairwoman Claudia Roth in Berlin. She urged the federal government to do more on its own for the compensation of victims of the Nazis.
Auch die Menschrechtsorganisation Amnesty International bewertete die Gerichtsentscheidung als "großen Rückschritt für den internationalen Menschenrechtsschutz". Staatenimmunität werde damit "über den Menschenrechtsschutz gestellt".		The human rights organization Amnesty International assessed the court decision as a "major setback for international human rights protection", too. With that, sovereign immunity "is placed above the protection of human rights".
Die Linke-Innenpolitikerin Ulla Jelpke bedauerte, "dass die Bundesregierung mit ihrer skrupellosen Entschädigungsverweigerung durchkommt". Das Schicksal von NS-Opfern wie ehemaligen Zwangsarbeitern werde von der Regierung ignoriert, so Jelpke. Sie verlangte, dass Deutschland "nun wenigstens auf humanitärer Basis Wiedergutmachungsleistungen anbietet".		Left Party domestic affairs politician Ulla Jelpke regretted "that the German federal government succeeded with its ruthless refusal of compensation." The fate of the victims of National Socialism like forced labourers is being ignored by the government, so Jelpke. She demanded that Germany "should now at least offer reparations on a humanitarian basis."
