23 August 2017 The United Nations body monitoring implementation of the global convention on prohibiting racial discrimination has called on high-level politicians and public officials of the United States to unequivocally and unconditionally reject and condemn racist hate speech and crimes in Charlottesville and throughout the country.
We are alarmed by the racist demonstrations, with overtly racist slogans, chants and salutes by white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and the Ku Klux Klan, promoting white supremacy and inciting racial discrimination and hatred, said Anastasia Crickley, Chairperson of UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), in a news release.
In a decision issued under its 'early warning and urgent action' procedure, the Committee, which monitors implementation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, stated there should be no place in the world for racist white supremacist ideas or any similar ideologies that reject the core human rights principles of human dignity and equality.
The United States ratified the Convention in 1994. In addition to the criminal investigation of the individual who ploughed his car into a crowd of peaceful protestors killing a woman, the UN experts asked the US authorities to undertake concrete measures to address the root causes of the proliferation of such racist manifestations.
We call on the US Government to investigate thoroughly the phenomenon of racial discrimination targeting, in particular, people of African descent, ethnic or ethno-religious minorities, and migrants, added Ms. Crickley. CERD also called on the Government to ensure that the rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly are not exercised with the aim of destroying or denying the rights and freedoms of others, and also asked it to provide the necessary guarantees so that such rights are not misused to promote racist hate speech and racist crimes.
Members of CERD are independent human rights experts drawn from around the world, who serve in their personal capacity and not as representatives of States parties.
I know the Mauritania was a ship.....right?
Is this the same UN that hates Israel?
Unlike these other countries the US has a clear First Amendment which cannot be infringed based on the speculated or claimed‘aim’ of the speakers.
what if our speech rights could be taken away regarding voter fraud because on MSNBC they claims our ‘aim’ for wanting it investigated is voter suppression?
In Germany they would.
Mauritania is an Arab country in western Africa.
“UN rights expert” should read “highly paid loser from a loser country who is accountable to no one”. The bum should be fired and deported.
Europe does not have freedom of speech, and it’s getting worse with the implementation of Sharia. One guy in Germany got six months in jail for publishing the well documented fact that the Nazis worked with the Muslims to eradicate Jews. I bet this is the main purpose of the UN statement, to criminalize telling the truth about Muslims and any other terrorist groups.
Figures. Full name begins with Islamic Republic... that’s all we need to know. And I hear Pakistan doesn’t do too well with freedom of speech as talking about Christianity can get you a death sentence.
Lucky for them the brain dead members of the press will miss the obvious...
UN ‘expert’ says it all...
