[edit] Background
Harnwell is currently a senior advisor on human dignity in the European Parliament. The human dignity concept is to promote an understanding of Man made in the image and likeness of God; and to place this recognition as the basis of all human rights. This is particularly important – if not to say controversial - at the present time because of its direct challenge to conventional thinking (which in practice is to treat international human rights charters as the de facto source of human rights).
He is also the Chief of Staff to Nirj Deva MEP, the British Conservative Party’s International Development Spokesman in the European Parliament, who in 2006 was a candidate to succeed Kofi Annan as Secretary-General of the UN; and for whom Harnwell previously worked when Deva was a member of the British Government under Prime Minister John Major in the House of Commons in Westminster.
