Potential presidential candidate Mohamed ElBaradei has announced he is collaborating with various political forces in Egypt to formulate a human rights convention that will detail all the basic human rights of the Egyptian people.
During a meeting today with several priests from the Egyptian-Anglican Church, ElBaradei said that once this convention is drafted it should become an fundamental part of the new constitution.
ElBaradei, former Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), also said he was worried by the lack of security in Egypt’s streets; that the Ministry of Interior is not doing its job to protect the nation. He said the security vacuum is the main reason for instability in Egypt and stressed the importance of the return of police force to the street.
ElBaradei also complained that Egypt lacks a political roadmap for the transitional period and that the schedule for the parliamentary elections will not provide enough time for all the political forces in the country to achieve representation in the new parliament.
