1) Those people are not UN, but OSCE observers.
OSCE is Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Though 56 countries including US and Canada are members of this organisation.
2) OSCE sends observers to all elections within participating states, excluding Monaco and Vatican. This is not the first nor the last time OSCE observes elections in US.
3) It is an obligation of participating states to invite observers for their elections. Rules are equal for all participants. Thus observers apart of coming to Balkan and post CIA countries come to Germany, Austria, UK and Denmnark, Sweden and Canada. Norway and Finland.
4) US citizens are part of every OSCE mission, and are enlisted as observers to all missions (except US, to protect impartiality). For example, there were a lot of US citizens as observes within OSCE mission in Georgia (country in South Caucasus) and in Russia.
5) Regarding “Are they going to do something about...”. No. They are not to react on violations, they are to observe and not to interfere. Thus the only thing they can potentially do, is to raise it with the authorities, and writing about it in the report. Then it is up to the US to do or not to do something about it.
Very interesting information. Thanks.
If you are left-of-center, you won't last on the forum, but this post should stand.
See, that's probably one of the differences between the left and the right. The right actually LIKES facts and if we are wrong, we will gladly accept correction. :)
Admin, you are only pinged because if you end up having to kill this poster... if he/she turns out to be a lefty..... please preserve his/her contribution to the thread.
Thank you for the information. I wonder, do you have a connection to OSCE? If so, I have a video taken in Pennsylvania during the 2008 Presidential election involving some militant looking characters I’d like you to give them.
