He’s a visiting Australian prof at NYU. His area of interest includes “ Global Justice”. So long as he doesn’t start investigating Zimbabwe, North Korea, Iran and a number of Arab countries prosecuting Christians he should have a long and prosperous career. Pity the US taxpayers are going to foot the bill.

“Why do we even allow this type of visit?”

exactly! The UN sends investigators to U.S. prisons...when people in Dafur are slaughtered, women and children in the Congo are raped. The U.N. didn’t seem too anxious to do anything when Saddam slaughtered innocent people....The UN and any of their foreign “officials” are a disgrace and should be kicked out of the U.S. We need to stop being so tolerant of these arrogant, evil people.

We haven’t heard anything from these A-Holes re: the gulags in Cuba, North Korea, China, and ...oh yes...Russia. In viewing the incessant BS headlines every day one can only conclude that there is a global left wing effort to discredit the US and our President. They love B. Hussein, a fellow Marxist. Now they can lay the groundwork about how America the racist nation owes it to humanity to elect B. Hussein, a man w/ no qualifications other then his abject hatred for this country, to the presidency of the United States.

Yes, you are right.... We execute people arbitrarily. Mostly illegal immigrants. Get the word out. Don’t go to the US or you will be executed for no good reason.

How did this a$$ get a visa? Go someplace where criminals have fewer rights than a law abiding citizen, not here.

I missed the un report on the 3,000 Americans murdered on 9/11 and the one about virtually every American prisoner having taken by the enemy has been tortured and murdered.

I guess I missed the one about the thousands of muslims and other foreigners murdered by islamists in Iraq, Afghanistan, India, Philippines and every country where they set foot.

I expect that the messiah and the obamanites who have had their lobamabotomies will use this as proof that the USA has "lost our standing in the world".

BARF!

“and the refusal of the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute private security contractors who commit unlawful killings.”

Since our justice system is so flawed, our failure to prosecute these guys is probably a good idea.

UN..........pound sand, preferably in the Middle East somewhere. Sick of anti Americanism on American soil, from anyone, including but not limited to the UN!

When are we going to simply let the UN go the way of the dodo and convert that bldg to condos?

I suggest moving the national firearms museum there instead.

I don't know. Perhaps they're stupid.

Alston was particularly critical of the state of Texas, which has refused to review the cases of foreign nationals on death row, most of whom had been deprived of the right to consular assistance from their home countries.

Where these two-bit UN thugs come from rape and murder of a young girl by a two-bit thug on his way up the chain of criminal enterprise in a gang is a way of life.

Where was the UN investigation of Abu Ghraib when Saddam Hussein was disembowling prisoners wives in front of the prisoners and chopping off their hands? Where was the UN investigation when Saddam Hussein’s sons were using their rape rooms?

Pound sand UN, your vile corruption will be your OWN undoing.

Texas doesn’t have an “express line” for executions, there was a backlog. The logjam cleared and they are being carried out as per law on a much later schedule than originally intended. If it seems like there are so many it is because the practiced was hindered by legal challenge for years.

Alston, a professor at the New York University School of Law and an outspoken critic of human rights abuses worldwide ...

Meanwhile, in Zimbabwe...

Meanwhile, in Merry Olde England, where the death penalty is carried out on the street, just like in DC, Oakland, Detroit, Baltimore, NOLA, Philly....

And so many of the 'executioners' are multiple offenders, released back to the streets by the likes of the Good Professor & UN shill United Nations special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary, or arbitrary executions

"During his 14-day tour of the United States at the invitation of the administration"

Exactly who in our wonderful (sic) Dept. of State is responsible for inviting this leftist bozo to tour our country? Condi Rice ultimately, but I'd like to know why we allow any resources or opportunity to be devoted to helping the UN asshats bash us while doing nothing about so many of the world's worst regimes. Send this douchebag to Zimbabwe or Iran for an "investigation" and see what happens.

LIFE for the innocent.

DEATH for the guilty.

Who could argue with that?

But what about death for the not guilty, as sometimes happens. Is that cool?

You’re not saying that private security contracters who commit unlawful killings shouldn’t be prosecuted, are you?
