Call The Jewish News 354.6060 Human Rights Advocates Skeptical About Bill DAVID MAKOVSKY Special to The Jewish News erusalem — Human- rights advocates are ambivalent about the Basic Law: Human Rights, which passed its preliminary Knesset reading Nov. 15. While they praise the planned codification of per- sonal liberties promised in Israel's Proclamation of In- dependence, they are con- cerned that the bill is lim- ited in scope, as it gives the courts no power over past legislation. The bill, which is just at the start of the legislative process, would guarantee equality before the law and forbid discrimination on the basis of nationality, sex, race, creed or country of origin; guarantee the right to privacy, protection of property, freedom of work, assembly, and association; and the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Experts say that for the first time there would be some checks and balances in Israel's government, as the courts would be able to exer- cise judicial review and strike down new legislation that is contrary to -the Basic Law. At present, Knesset legislation can overrule all court verdicts. The Basic Law, however, would not be applicable to the vast body of laws that al- ready exist. The bill's au- thors stipulated this in order to allay fears, particularly among the Orthodox, that the courts could undermine extant laws. "The bill provides the courts with scrutiny over the laws of the Knesset that un- fairly hurt human rights. However, the new bill would give protection to all past legislation," said Ruth Gavison, professor of law at the Hebrew University. Joshua Schoffman, legal adviser to the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, said, "The bill is a step in the right direction, but a small step." Both Gavison and Schoff- man bemoaned the political compromises that have led to what they see as the bill's dilution. Schoffman said the bill does not supeisede legisla- tion enacted by the British Mandatory government. This includes all defense regulations which grant j broad powers to the army in the territories; search and seizure laws; and film cen- sorship. "We would like a transition period of three to five years for existing legislation, so as to bring all legislation up for judicial review. As it stands, [past legislation] will be immune forever," he said. Gavison predicted that the bill will not make it through "The bill is a step in the right direction, but a small step." the legislative maze. "I don't think it will emerge from committee," she said, adding that she thought Orthodox groups would feel the bill went too far. For example, the ultra- Orthodox reportedly fear the Basic Law would enable the courts to overturn draft deferments for yeshivah students. Jerusalem Post Foreign Service Brazil's Election Lets Jews Down Sao Paulo, Brazil (JTA) — Brazil's first free presiden- tial election in 30 years has turned out to be something of a letdown for the country's 180,000 Jews. The first Jewish candidate for president of this over- whelmingly Catholic coun- try, media tycoon and televi- sion entertainer Silvio San- tos, was knocked off the ballot on a technicality less than a week before the polls opened. The two candidates most favored by Jewish voters were eliminated in the voting Nov. 15. What seems most likely now is a runoff election on Dec. 17 between two can- didates who did not par- ticularly impress Jews dur- ing the presidential cam- Paign- The front-runners are Fer- nando Collor de Mello, described as a free-market advocate, and Luis Ignacio da Silva, a left-wing labor leader, known as Lula. Collor disenchanted Jews by his flip-flops on the Palestine Liberation Organization. Lula's Labor Party is at least consistent. It makes no bones about its close ties with the PLO leadership. .-̀,..4alserieworaieirsisismionem,
