UN chief says death penalty for terrorism often unfair (Barf Ki-Moon)
Associated Press ^ | Oct 10, 2016 4:14 PM EDT | Michael Astor

Death sentences for terrorism are often handed down after unfair trials by special courts that disrespect human rights and the rule of law, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Monday in remarks commemorating World Day Against the Death Penalty.

While 65 countries retain the death penalty for terrorism-related offenses, experience shows that executing “terrorists” mostly fuels propaganda for their movements by creating perceived martyrs, Ban said.

“The death penalty is a cruel and inhumane practice. It has no place in the 21st Century,” Ban said. “To be legitimate and effective, counter-terror measures, like all security operations, must be anchored in respect for human rights and the rule of law.” …

Killing Islamics is the only way to end jihad.

Their prophet and book tell them they MUST subjugate or kill the rest of humanity.
If the rest of humanity wants peace, they must extirpate Islam.

I did not personally see but smelled the gunpowder from the gun of a South Korean military officer who executed a guard for sleeping at the door of a joint command post ... Ain’t nobody more brutal than the Koreans
I can only imagine the quality of mercy they show to capital criminals in their prisons

Dismissed!

It must be true that all leaders of “blind eye” nations are Muslim.

- or -

They lack any sense of Country first, Borders or Culture and will accept Muslim millions to enrich themselves.

We need to stop financing the UN, and. And cancel the “lease” on the UN building.

They are a subversive outfit, slamming the USA right here on our own soil.

It appears the Muslims are running things now.

Send them packing to some country in the Middle East, that’s where their loyalties seem to lie anyway.

The Communists have been further reproached for desiring to abolish countries and nationality.
That is from Chapter 2 of the Manifesto. Their internationalist viewpoint includes creating international chaos, from which they believe their system will rise out of the ashes phoenix-like.

They’ve been a subversive organization from the very beginning. Alger Hiss didn’t make the UN Charter into a clone of the 1936 USSR constitution for no reason.

Of course, instead, we should give terrorists a slap on the wrist and release them, so they can viciously murder more innocent people.

Formation of the United Nations:

" Alger Hiss (November 11, 1904 - November 15, 1996) was an American lawyer, government official, author, and lecturer. He was involved in the establishment of the United Nations both as a U.S. State Department and U.N. official. Hiss was accused of being a Soviet spy in 1948 and convicted of perjury in connection with this charge in 1950.

On August 3, 1948, Whittaker Chambers, a former Communist Party member, testified under subpoena before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) that Hiss had secretly been a Communist while in federal service. Chambers had previously testified under oath that Hiss had never been a Communist or a spy, and Chambers would admit, under oath, to other instances where he had committed perjury under oath. Called before HUAC, Hiss categorically denied the charge. When Chambers repeated his claim on nationwide radio, Hiss filed a defamation lawsuit against him.

During the pretrial discovery process, Chambers produced new evidence indicating that he and Hiss had been involved in espionage, which both men had previously denied under oath to HUAC.

A federal grand jury indicted Hiss on two counts of perjury; Chambers admitted to the same offense but, as a cooperating government witness, was never charged.

Although Hiss's indictment stemmed from the alleged espionage, he could not be tried for that crime because the statute of limitations had expired."

New York Times
April 11, 1997

"Mayor Giuliani, who said the international body was on the verge of becoming a laughingstock, began talking half-seriously about the fancy hotels and apartment buildings that could be built on the site if United Nations members carried through on their threats to leave.

Speaking to a group of reporters in his office, he said: "They are making a little bit of a joke out of the U.N. by threatening to take a parking violations case to the World Court. It was not put together by treaty to argue out special-interest parking situations for diplomats."

Instead of settling wars and resolving human rights violations, he said, the institution was "defining diplomacy down" by arguing about parking tickets.

Mr. Giuliani was no kinder to the State Department, which just last month, in a public ceremony, signed an agreement with the city to force diplomats to pay their parking tickets on the threat of removing their plates. With State Department officials now seeking to remove the teeth from that agreement, the Mayor accused them of cowering to overblown United Nations threats to leave the United States over the parking rules, and said the diplomats’ bluff should be called.

"If they’d like to leave New York over parking tickets, then we can find another use for that area of town," he said. "It happens to be just about the most valuable real estate in the world, not just in the United States. That is enormously valuable real estate, and with the vacancy rates that exist in the city of New York, can you imagine what we could do with that?"

In case anyone thought he was bluffing, he had city lawyers check the United Nations lease to determine who gets the riverfront property if the institution leaves town.
(Answer: the Federal Government could use it; if it did not want it, the city would have next crack.)..."

He is correct. That is not enough.

Those who knew (like the protectors of Hasan)
must also be held accountable.

You get no argument from my area. Fellow a few miles away has this very message in 3' tall letters along his fence row.

Yeah, they should get a pat on the head and let off with a pinky swear to be nice to infidels.
