PREAMBLE
We now establish a non governmental organization to draft an enlightening rule of law that upholds internationally recognized human rights, for future generations.
Hospitals & Asylums (HA) traces its history to the
Our purpose is to make
Our principles dictate non violent social change and the non use of force as a fundamental way of life in all dealings with all people that rejects all forms of hatred, bigotry and prejudice.
We value unconditional, universal love, truthfulness, courage and compassion that dedicate us to the creation of a community where all people can live together as sisters and brothers.
Educated that to win friendship and understanding with which to defeat injustice we have no recourse but to choose love instead of hate.
Social change may be catalyzed through the disciplined process of information gathering, education, personal commitment, negotiations, direct action and reconciliation.
Leadership is a responsibility for those willing to serve the public for free and a right for those who do so peacefully.
Executives are editors who render final judgment in regards to the disclosure of information.
Asylum is a friendly process whereby persecuted people, who are not criminals against humanity, are defended against prosecution, that is.
Democracy is the fundamental right of the individual to think for Society. Society in turn elects the wisest and most ethical counsel to lead, with utmost consideration for the poor.
Believing that the codification and progressive development of the law of treaties will promote the maintenance of international peace and security, the development of friendly relations and the achievement of co-operation among people the following Constitution is drafted for the second time within 30 days of notification by the ABA Center for Continuing Legal Education for the answer(s) of the Organization of Administrators of Continuing Legal Education (ORACLE)
(A) The original HA statute can be found in the 10 Chapters of Title 24 US Code. The first three and last Chapters deal with humanitarian relief and retirement missions of the Military Department, however in 1992, at the end of the first Iraq war, Chapter 2 and the vast majority of Chapter 3 were either repealed or transferred to Chapter 10. Chapter 4, 5 & 6 deal with the foundation of a community system to reduce the population of a psychiatric hospital, a school for the deaf and Freedmen’s Hospital that served as an asylum for African Americans, in Washington DC, before the civil war. Chapter 7 treats upon National Cemeteries but everything has been repealed except for the Arlington Memorial Amphitheatre that calls for an annual report to Congress regarding the entombments of soldiers. Chapter 8 settles Gorgas Hospital along the Panama Canal. Chapter 9 explains the due process of an individual claim for release from detention in Hospitalization of Mentally Ill Nationals Returned from Foreign Countries. The Naval Hospital Act of Feb. 26, 1811 was first tried in US v. Fillebrown, Wash. 32 US 28 (1833) 7 Pet.44 I. Ed. 596 and cited for Justice Story in Minis v. US 40 U.S. 423 (1841).
(B) The mission of HA is to reform the law for the benefit of public health and welfare. Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. Everyone has a professional responsibility to provide effective services to those unable to pay. HA volunteers the highest quality of legal research at no fee or substantially reduced fee to individuals, groups or organizations seeking to secure freedoms through human rights rights and promotes charitable societies of religious, judicial, health, community, governmental, educational and scientific organizations.

(1) to render interpretations of HA statute in litigation and legislation;

Art. 5 Political Party
(A) To put democracy in the best light and facilitate the peaceful behavior of political participation there is hereby established this day a United Nations Hospitals & Asylums Political Party Year whereby all the people unsatisfied with the many political parties of their State legislatures or State Parties of the UN General Assembly, may freely associate with the likeminded friends and members of HA to achieve their political objectives by means of the Executive and view the election results at Election World. The republican principles of equal rights, self determination and non violence ensure that all HA political parties manifested regarding legal issues shall be as pleasant and peaceful as a social get together amongst friends and felons with faith in justice under the Inter-American Democratic Charter Adopted by the OAS General Assembly at its special session held in Lima, Peru, on September 11, 2001
(B) Art. 25 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 23 March 1976, states, every citizen shall have the right and the opportunity:
(a) To take part in the conduct of public affairs, directly or through freely chosen representatives;
(b) To vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors;
(c) To have access, on general terms of equality, to public service in his or her country.
(C) Everyone has the right to express their opinions in writing and to be treated with dignity.
(1) Democracy is a way of life and a socio-political behavior that is both humble and human but wise with respect to the promotion of human life, human rights, health and society and the swift and dispassionate adjudication of crimes against humanity and the environment as a voting public.
(2) HA crystallizes the democratic thought that institutional society at all levels can be easily governed by an individual, in writing, through the rule of law.
(D) It is however not fun to laugh alone, nor is it fun lead the world alone and fair laws are needed for society to be happy.
(1) One may seek the constitutional councils of geographic and academic discipline who are politically organized enough to uphold the electoral process by voting democratically in review of the literature and able to make use of the mass media.
(E) The objective of a Political Party is Political Union. Political union occurs when customs unions and market economies join together in agreement to legislate and uphold laws of importance to the commonwealth.
(1) It is absolutely critical and fundamental to principles of democracy that Political Parties eschew support for or from the armed forces, in their campaigns.
(2) It is prohibited for a Political Party to appoint leadership in the Armed Forces or Judiciary as this creates the most dangerous social phenomenon known to mankind.
(3) The judiciary must be unbiased in political and electoral issues and although litigation is obviously required the trials of Political Parties should be held by the Boards of Elections.
(4) The purpose of a Political Party is to achieve a peaceful and educated society that evolves to meet exigencies through the scientific development of the collective consciousness of people free to choose their own careers and free to elect the most reasonable leaders, rather than suffer a rule of armed force or other forms of coercion and inequality as explained by the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq.

(e) The raising of general standards of literacy, in order to; (d) achieve the highest standards of health and the provision of health protection for the entire population, if possible free of charge.
(B) AMA Code of Medical Ethics explains that public health is the study of the impact of illness, mortality and healthcare upon society. Public health ensures:
(1) sufficient vaccines for the population,
(2) supply of technological treatments,
(3) networking of national laboratories,
(4) financing and recognition of important research,
(5) health insurance,
(6) education in regards to hygiene, exercise and the dangers of health risks,
(7) national health surveys,
(8) the management of epidemics,

(C) To keep abreast of public health research HA syndicates:
(1) GlobalHealthReporting.org Weekly TB/Malaria Report
(2) Kaiser Daily Health Policy Report
(A) Peace, justice and nonviolence are fundamental to the Rule of Law. The golden rule is that one should do unto others as one would have done unto your self. An unjust law however is no law at all. What is the difference between the two? How does one determine when a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law. An unjust law is one that is out of harmony with God, the constitution or human rights. An unjust law is a human law that is not routed in eternal law and natural law. Any law that degrades human personality or is born in false witness is unjust. John Locke wrote in the 17th century: "The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom." To ensure that human association is safe and positive, without victimization the fundamental pledge of adherence to the Rule of Law is found in ratification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 23 March 1976:
(1) The Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 23 March 1976 recognizing the Human Rights Committee and;
(2) The Second Optional Protocol aiming at the abolition of the death penalty of 15 December 1989.
(3) Status of national ratifications
(4) In States that have not agreed to the foregoing Optional Protocols only individuals who do may subscribe or be members to HA.
(B) Constitutional law is the supreme law that establishes the scope, institutions, purposes and principles of government.
(1) Human rights insures everyone who is injured, disabled, or aged or whose (intellectual) property or time is appropriated for use by the government has the right to just compensation.
(2) Equal rights must be upheld so that the rich and the poor can mutually benefit from the economic laws that unite society with the intention to ameliorate poverty mathematically.
(3) Civil law involves written arguments, agreements and judgments settling legal disputes between individuals and unions.
(4) Civil rights involves nondiscrimination on the basis of race, religion, sex or class, the release of detainees and their equal rights including the right to vote.
(5) Criminal law involves the investigation, trial and detention of those who commit crimes against humanity.
(6) Martial law defends against war crimes.
(C) Justice involves reciprocity between adversaries to satisfactorily settle legal disputes, through informed consent pursuant to the written judgment of a third part neutral.
(1) Justice involves discovering laws or their application to be unjust or unconstitutional for the pacific resolution of a case or to request them amended or repealed.
(2) Justice requires that criminal defendants who are not criminals against humanity be acquitted with a determination as to whether or not that person has been convicted of an offense or directed to make reasonable restitution. The acquittal process involves the dismissal of criminal investigators from the case or entirely from the service depending upon the gravity of the offense against honor.
(D) As a member of a learned profession, a lawyer should cultivate knowledge of the law beyond its use for clients and employ that knowledge in reform of the law and work to strengthen legal education in the public interest as best represented in the spirit of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Responsibility.
(1) Legal institutions in a constitutional democracy depend on popular participation and support to maintain their authority therefore lawyers should further the public's understanding of and confidence in the rule of law and justice system.
(2) A lawyer should be mindful of deficiencies in the administration of justice and legislature and of the fact that the poor, and sometimes persons who are not poor, cannot or have not afforded adequate legal assistance and are entitled to free, professionally literate and friendly legal services nonetheless.

Although this reading is not tested; lawyers will need to subscribe to the periodical to be reasonably expected to politically participate in HA.

The program involves writing an essay in Microsoft Word addressing academic challenges and transitional issues arising under Hospitals & Asylums Statute that must be cited, for publication in .doc on the Hospitals & Asylums Website. 1 credit will be granted for every 10 single spaced pages.

Art. 11 Hospitals & Asylums Day
