FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — The parents of Ferguson police shooting victim Michael Brown are headed to Switzerland next week to speak at a United Nations human rights conference.
Michael Brown Sr. and Lesley McSpadden are scheduled to address the 53rd Session of the United Nations Committee Against Torture in Geneva on Nov. 12 and 13. A Saint Louis University law professor is helping to organize the trip and to solicit online donations for the couple's travel expenses.

Takin’ my proplem to da noonited nations. Besides, the u.n. is too busy saving the world from fossil fuels right now.
Yes! They could bring the store clerk to speak as well.
Are they going to be introduced with rap music pumping behind them?
HOLY CRAP! I just notice that they’re going to Switzerland. Do they speak Switzerlandese? Maybe john f’n kohn heinz kerry will go along to interrupt, er I mean interpret.
Did they blame the Jews? That always plays well with the crowd at the UN.
Will they be allowed to hawk their T-shirts while there?
Are they going to speak about needing better role models and better parents so their kids don’t grow up to be thugs that rob from the community, get high on drugs and attack their local police officers?
Probably not...
Oh my, they thought of this and financed this all by themselves.
I’ve always wondered about that store clerk -not a peep from him!
Was he threatened with deportation if he spoke out?
Are they finally going to explain where they were when their son was out committing crimes?
I’m surprised that the Swiss would allow them into the country.
I can think of a few other adjectives, but surreal will work.
How about if they got the store clerk to apologize for confronting the innocent Michael Brown, after all that is what they are demanding here isn’t it? When the cops released the video tape they accused the cops of everything from being racist to making Brown look bad as if robbery should be perfectly acceptable, as if everyone does it.

Well, the Chief of Police apologized.
The UN is precisely the place for these people; half the delegates are from thug nations, and the entire assembly spends its time yammering on and on, ad nauseum, in favor of dumb thuggery.
I wonder if they will have a translator for Ebonics?
Instead of begging for money to make the trip, why don’t they just Skype it? (That was a rhetorical question.)
Switzerland is where the Oprah wuz dissed by a store clerk...cuz she be rasist.
Wanna bet the Brown’s go to the same store to rabble rouse.
