UN rights experts criticize US failure to unequivocally reject racist violent events [disgusting]

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.

Imagine racist events where people of one race insist that their race matters, and that no other race should say that their race matters just as much.

Imagine that those events demonize one of the other races as Privileged Oppressors who are born with inherited guilt due to the alleged sins of their ancestors.

Imagine that the events include assault, theft, and arson.

It may actually be slowly occurring. When the FDR Drive was built they propped up parts of the roadway with wooden columns that were submerged into the East River, before the UN was built over the road. About 25 years ago they discovered those columns are being eaten away by a certain scallop like shellfish. It doesn’t take a PhD in science to realize if you put a piece of wood in the water for 70 years it’s gonna deteriorate. Another example of big government incompetence and inefficiency and why it’s quite appropriate they named the road after big government Democrat.

Whenever the Palis lob missiles into Israel, members of the General Assembly always resort to moral equivocation and whataboutisms. And they have the chutzpah to criticise Trump? The Secretariat is 520 feet tall. Who knew bulls!t could pile so high?
