UN Launches Investigation on Human Rights Violations By the US - NOT ENOUGH AFFORDABLE HOUSING

UN Launches Investigation on Human Rights Violations By the US Saturday, October 24, 2009, 3:42 PM

For the first time ever the United Nations will investigate the United States for human rights violations. Newsreal Blog reported:

For those of you who have never even heard of a “Special Rapporteur,” you may be surprised to find out that one has been appointed by the United Nations (UN), under a special mandate from the UN Human Rights Council (the successor to the corrupt and anti-Israel UN Commission on Human Rights), to open a probe—for the first time ever— into human rights violations by the United States because of a perception that there isn’t enough affordable public housing in urban areas.

Democracy Now!’s Amy Goodman reports that Raquel Rolnik, a Brazilian urban planner and the UN’s choice for the task, will be investigating issues of concern to the UN vis-à-vis the United States, including public housing, homelessness and foreclosures. As part of her fact-finding mission, she will visit New York City, Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Washington, a South Dakota Indian reservation, and Wilkes-Barre, Pa. She will then compile a report on her findings, which will be submitted to the UN General Assembly and the UN Human Rights Council in March.

The United States is the largest single donor to the United Nations accounting for 25% of its budget.

The UN is composed of many nations, mostly our enemies.

Brazil? Brazil? The country where millions live in lean-tos? Where every morning the garbagemen pick up the dead human bodies from the previous night's murders as if they were roadkill? That Brazil?

"The United States is the largest single donor to the United Nations accounting for 25% of its budget."

I'd guess that would amount to a whole lot of cracker box houses here in the US.

UN shouldn't be too pi$$-d off about redirecting the cash since they suggested it and so long as we let Jimmy Carter hand the shantys over to his constituency.

My sentiments exactly. The whole f’ng UN building and just about every delegation from the Third World American-hating sh!thole countries in needs to sent floating down the East River and out into the sea. F-the f’ing UN.

“Where the street kids roam free day and night’’. And where the Brazilian police round them up and shoot them dead. Yup, the f’ing Brazil.

The UN investigator is from Sao Paulo and Sao Paulo has the largest slum population in South America. Maybe she should stay home and do an investigation.
