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.

Time to get this thing started, and begin the destruction of the International Left.
C’mon UN.
Please invade Texas.
Oh no! Just think what they might do to us for breaking “international law!” I can see it now — they’ll pass a resolution and leave the US. One can dream.
lol, we broke the rules, hahaha
It’s time to get the UN maggots out of my country. Like most REAL Americans, I could really give a **** about “international law”. To me, America is still a sovereign nation. FUUN.
I think Geneva is a fittinng place for them.
And we need to be out of it.
Perry should have walked into this scumbag’s cell and choked him to death personally....
FU-UN!
Mrs. Jennings and I totally agree with your post!
The U.N. is irrelevant and it’s important that we send that message as often as possible.
Exactly. With minor modifications and the same personnel that site on the East River could be turned into Disneyland East. Navi would be re-employed as Goofy.
French Blue Helmets raped little girls in Cote d’Ivoire.
(Is there a word for rape in French????)
How do you say illegal alien because I doubt this pos was in the country legally.
The complaint was that the perp didn't know he could contact the Mexican authorities to assist him in his legal defense.
The Demoncats have criminalized the act of even asking someone about their immigration status so exactly how were the arresting officers, the prosecutors and everyone else involved know to inform this perp of some alleged extra right that Americans don't have?
The wicked bastards want it both ways, they don't want LEOs to know the nationality and immigration status, yet they want to treat illegal aliens with preferential treatment without explaining how that would be accomplished sans profiling.
Maybe they want his ashes?
Tell the nice people at the “Human Rights” Commissioner’s Office what you think of them - nicely. Avoid anatomical impossibilities.

“The US did break international law and since Obama is the President, he bears full responsibility for this crime.”
Isn’t that what they tried to do with Rumsfeld?
I would expect the same cast of characters to ask for obama’s head.

How many armies do they have?
If the Mexican didn’t want to get executed he should have stayed in Mexico.
Well, OK. I guess we could give him a new trial.
