UN rights experts criticize US failure to unequivocally reject racist violent events [disgusting]
UN News Centre ^ | 23 August 2017

23 August 2017 – The United Nations body monitoring implementation of the global convention on prohibiting racial discrimination has called on high-level politicians and public officials of the United States to unequivocally and unconditionally reject and condemn racist hate speech and crimes in Charlottesville and throughout the country.

“We are alarmed by the racist demonstrations, with overtly racist slogans, chants and salutes by white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and the Ku Klux Klan, promoting white supremacy and inciting racial discrimination and hatred,” said Anastasia Crickley, Chairperson of UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), in a news release.

In a decision issued under its 'early warning and urgent action' procedure, the Committee, which monitors implementation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, stated “there should be no place in the world for racist white supremacist ideas or any similar ideologies that reject the core human rights principles of human dignity and equality.”

The United States ratified the Convention in 1994.

In addition to the criminal investigation of the individual who ploughed his car into a crowd of peaceful protestors killing a woman, the UN experts asked the US authorities to undertake concrete measures “to address the root causes of the proliferation of such racist manifestations.”

“We call on the US Government to investigate thoroughly the phenomenon of racial discrimination targeting, in particular, people of African descent, ethnic or ethno-religious minorities, and migrants,” added Ms. Crickley.

CERD also called on the Government to ensure that the rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly are not exercised with the aim of destroying or denying the rights and freedoms of others, and also asked it to provide the necessary guarantees so that such rights are not misused to promote racist hate speech and racist crimes.

Members of CERD are independent human rights experts drawn from around the world, who serve in their personal capacity and not as representatives of States parties.

Apparently the term "freedom of expression" is one that CERN cannot grasp.

The UN doesn't say a word about atrocities such as this one:

Muslims Take Christian Woman, Brutally Beat Her And Break Her Arms, They Then Torture Her Son For An Entire Day Until He Dies, And Then Dump His Body In Front Of Her House

The UN is a Satanic entity.

BREAKING: Gun Owners FORCED To Forfeit Or Go To Jail After What Dems Just Did Overnight
The crackdown on gun control had come to a screeching halt once Donald Trump took office, but that didn’t stop Democrats from getting their way. Without warning, gun owners are now waking up to horrible news about their Second Amendment right which has just been incredibly infringed upon in a way that’s beyond unconstitutional.

Sneaky liberals plotted against Republicans and surprised everyone with what they were able to pass through the night, forcing law-abiding Americans into confiscation or face jail time.

The old saying goes that “nothing good happens after midnight” and that’s certainly the case as people are realizing what Oregon Governor Kate Brown has just signed into law. The tyrannical governor has just officially made weapons confiscation a reality for those who legally and rightfully purchased their weapons.

Oregon Senate Bill 719 “permits government officials to order the confiscation of guns, simply based off of hearsay evidence,” according to Silence is Consent. “There is no actual evidence required to order this confiscation, and before the gun owner is even given a hearing.”

This detail of the bill also goes against citizens’ 14th Amendment right, which grants Americans the right to a formal hearing before their property is seized.
The anti-Second Amendment bill doesn’t stop there as it aims to make it next to impossible for citizens whose guns were confiscated, to get them back. The process is rigorous, as a law-abiding gun owner must take the issue to court, and like a criminal, prove that they are innocent.

Since the weapons would have been ripped out of their possession without warning anyway, this could be an uphill battle to get it back.

Second Amendment watchdogs at 2A News, explains the bill and the government’s gross overreach.

The best thing to do with the UN building is to condemn it and let the NYFD use it for fire training.

“disgusting”, that’s, the proper word to describe the UN.

I’m certainly glad the U.N. is not made up of a bunch of globalist, socialist, hypocritical, lying, do-gooder busy-bodies.

If they were hypocrites, they would be treating this issue far differently from the way they called out black politicians in South Africa who publicly sing songs about killing white farmers.

Remember how the U.N. unequivocally and forcefully stood up to those bullies in South Africa?

Me neither.
