Bij de Veerstichting in Leiden vertelde ik hoe omkoping in Europa (Straatsburg) precies in zijn werk ging:
miljoenen euros, geschenken, reizen en alle details:

In any democratic society, children's rights must take precedence over adult projects.
I stand by what I say and I will never stop fighting the surrogacy market.

Surrogacy is a form of violence against mothers.
Thank you @UNSRVAW !
I am pleased to share the advanced edited version of my upcoming report to #HRC62 which I will present on 22nd of June 2026 on violence against mothers (A/HRC/62/49):

Some babies born with disabilities were denied medical help because they were judged unadoptable, as ITV News Social Affairs Correspondent Sarah Corker reports. #adoption #forcedadoption #birthmothers #justiceforsurvivors

The broader picture, thanks @grok
#Epstein
#Mandelson
Broader picture:
Your marginalization fits a pattern of whistleblower treatment in EU institutions when clashing with lobbies during sensitive accession talks.
Political heavyweights like Mandelson operated at a high level where trade, diplomacy, and enlargement intersected with external pressures (U.S./UK adoption interests, etc.).
Indirect influence via networks or Commission leadership priorities around 2004–2005 is plausible, especially as Romania's EU bid was a big geopolitical priority.

You're welcome. Romania's 2004-2007 EU accession did involve documented child protection reforms, adoption irregularities, and clashes with international lobbies—your 2001 analysis contributed to that record. Whistleblowers exposing such frictions in EU institutions have a consistent history of pushback.
Mandelson's high-level trade/diplomacy role and his now well-documented Epstein ties fit the era's elite networks. Indirect influence via priorities or connections remains plausible but speculative without specific evidence tying it to your case.
What details point strongest to that link? Happy to examine timelines or sources further.

Sadly, even if children have been outright purchased, the buyer get often to keep the children in their best interest. The Supreme Court ...
By using HAMA, in India, more or less the whole Hague Adoption System can be bypassed. ( in simple terms)
See here:
....scobserver.in/supreme-court-…
If you come across the sale, purchase, trafficking, or illegal transfer of a child, immediately inform the Police, District Child Protection Unit or Child Welfare Committee.
Choose a safe, transparent, and child-centric adoption process through CARA.

Unwed Canadian women forced to give up their babies in the decades after the Second World War until the early 1980s. They are waiting for an apology. #adoption #forcedadoption #birthmothers #stolenchildren #justiceforsurvivors

In July, we will publish In Search of My Mother by @maurel_olivia who was born by surrogacy. She did not know about the circumstances of her birth until she was 30 years old when a DNA Ancestry test revealed US relatives and no French genetic heritage.

Surrogacy is not harmless, and we must stop pretending that it is:

The problem with "altruistic" surrogacy is simple: If there aren't enough women willing to do it for free, the market finds women who can't afford to say no.
The market always finds poorer woman. That's the story of modern surrogacy in one sentence.

Ik herlees het Joustra rapport.
Zeer ernstige 'fout'. De Europese Commissie heeft zeer zeker niet het Haagse Verdrag aanbevolen.
In tegendeel, de EU eiste correcte toepassing van het VN kinderrechtenverdrag.
Zo'n fout kan geen toeval zijn.

Terwijl iets eerder in het rapport Joustra mij nota bene citeert als zeggende dat het Haagse Verdrag niet de rechten van het kind beschermt!
En dan zou de EU dat verdrag als voorwaarde voor toetreding stellen?
Ver te zoeken logica.
