The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights says the United States breached international law by executing a Mexican national.

Navi Pillay, in a statement Friday, said he deeply regrets the execution of Humberto Leal Garcia, after a last-minute 5-4 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court denied him a stay of execution Thursday night.

"The execution of Mr. Leal Garcia places the U.S. in breach of international law," said Pillay, who is currently on official mission in Mexico. "What the state of Texas has done in this case is imputable in law to the U.S. and engages the United States' international responsibility."

Garcia was convicted of raping and killing a 16-year-old girl and was executed by lethal injection Thursday evening in Texas.

If the UN is so upset, (like I could give a crap), let them pack up everything and move their headquarters to another country.

I’ll be happy to send these bastards some bubble wrap so they can carefully pack their figurines of Karl Marx and Fidel Castro.

US out of the UN and UN out of the US!

Good, hope this sets precedent for the future. If the UN disapproves, then it is good for our sovereignty.

The U.S. had nothing to do with it. TEXAS executed the scumbag.

You got a problem with that, U.N.? Come and talk to us Texans about it.

A tidbit on this clown Navi Pillay is the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. She is from South Africa and was given the job in 2008 after having been nominated by Nelson Mandela. When she got the job, she said; "the High commisioner the voice of the victim everywhere"

But not the brutalized and murdered by an illegal alien type of victim.

Can we ban this agitator from the US?

Well, Navi Pillay, would you feel the same way if it had been your daughter who was raped and murdered?

US law trumps International Law. Period. Every time. Now if we just had elected leaders that understood that.

Statement: "U.S. broke international law by executing Mexican national, says U.N."

Response: So arrest the current occupant of the White House.

I’m certain the UN is correct about this. The only logical solution is for them to punish us by holding our leader responsible.

I wonder what penalty President Obama will get. Firing squad, 20 years hard labor, Life on Devil’s Island????
