As the top human rights body of the United Nations seeks international scrutiny of systemic racism in response to the recent killings of African Americans by police, some countries are wondering if there is a double standard at play for America rather than the ways other countries are targeted for human rights violations because of dehumanizing their people.
A draft resolution, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, singles out the United States and could become the centerpiece of a hastily scheduled debate by the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Wednesday.
The text calls for a commission of inquiry — the rights body’s most powerful tool to inspect human rights violations — to look into “systemic racism” and abuses against “Africans and of people of African descent in the United States of America and other parts of the world recently affected by law enforcement agencies” especially encounters that resulted in deaths.
Such work would be carried out “with a view to bringing perpetrators to justice,” the text states.
The proposed commission would “examine the federal, state and local government responses to peaceful protests, including the alleged use of excessive force against protesters, bystanders and journalists.”
Botswana’s representative to the U.N. in Geneva, Bokani Edith Seseinyi, argued for support for a resolution that “addresses the urgency of the matter today.”

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley tweeted the resolution is hypocrisy: “America is not perfect, but it’s a farce for the UN Human Rights Council to debate police practices in America, when it refuses to debate concentration camps in China, political murders in Cuba, torture in Syria, state-imposed starvation in NK & slavery in parts of Africa.”

Why do so many non-whites want to come here then?
A double standard against the US? No way!
Obama making his move.
Again - we believe in equal opportunity here - not equal outcome!

Easy. Because if you’re going to be poor anyway, this is the best place to be poor.
Who knows? Play your [intersectionality] cards right and you can be elected to Congress!
Yeah, we’re way behind with our stoning, beheadings, and firing squads. Let’s get caught up with the rest of these 3rd world throwbacks, shall we?
More judging of America by people from 3rd world counties that don’t even have toilets.
"We hear you. Therefore, we will divert our entire U.N. budget to Law Enforcement training in all of our Democrat lead cities."
The Donald
Show us where in the world black people are better off than in the United States.
The comparison of the United States against perfection is a false argument, a narrative that is always used by the left.
Comparing the United States to a fantasy is what the Left does.
Unfair as in these unsuccessful people getting what they were after?
Obama
Oprah
Denzel Washington
Ice Tea
Colin Powell
MAxzine Waters
Kieth Ellis
Ben Carson
Walter Williams
Magic Johnson
And many many more people who were held back by being black.
Or maybe it is their community and culture that is holding them back? Just a guess when you don’t get a education, have out of wed lock kids, and all the things that make others successful.
Still waiting for the postcards to come flooding in from the super stars letting us know they’ve found that better place to live. So far-——————nuthin’. Hey u.n. and foreign countries———fuh cough. Jealous much?
De-fund the UN. Period.
Move it from the Rockefeller’s land on the East River to Switzerland or Brussels.
A bunch of 3rd world morons, some under Sharia Law, will tell us about human rights concerns.
LOL. F off.
Botswana is a source and destination country for women and children subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation. Parents in poor rural communities sometimes send their children to work for wealthier families as domestics in cities or as herders at remote cattle posts, where some of these children are vulnerable to forced labor....
If anybody understands black lives matter, it should be somebody from Botswana where slavery continues to this day.
Best d*mn “unnfair” playing field in the world.
Let’s see the UN clowns name a better country.
Bring it, buttholes.
The truth is that since self-determination/independence form the white devil gave them an even lower standard of living, they’re flocking to a place where white people maintain and pay for everything.
DNC morning memo to the Media: “Work “systemic” in to all your articles.
Oh good God.
There is no better.
And ask the simple question: how many LEAVE here, and how many are running to GET IN?!
There are more people trying to fight “systemic racism” than people who can spell it correctly.
