The January U.S. drone strike in Iraq that killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani and nine other people represented a violation of international law, a U.N. human rights investigator said on Monday.
The United States has failed to provide sufficient evidence of an ongoing or imminent attack against its interests to justify the strike on Soleimani's convoy as it left Baghdad airport, said Agnes Callamard, U.N. special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.
The attack violated the U.N. Charter, Callamard wrote in a report calling for accountability for targeted killings by armed drones and for greater regulation of the weapons.

They’re trying to get ahead of something.
Buahahahahahahahaha!
It looks like we need to clean out the UN too.
Pound sand
US out of the UN. UN out of the US
We need to win in November or its going to be 100 million Americans against the world.
It killed nine other people?
First time I have heard that.
All the video and stills I looked at had just one vehicle.
Defund the UN and kick them out.
Wiki:
“Agnès Callamard is a French Human Rights expert and the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council. She is also the Director of Columbia University’s Global Freedom of Expression project.”
Is the U.N. high on drugs?
Drugs or drug money?
Not the first time.
True.
But this time we will have a much larger number of domestic enemies than in WWI or WWII.
We somehow managed to keep other countries out of our civil war.
This time it would be a civil war and a world war possibly.
That’s tough
Always
And they traffic children.
Recall the UN peacekeepers sexually abusing children every chance they got, diplomats doing same, kickbacks, bribes, graft, etc.
They can’t even use the restroom without monetary corruption, a human rights abuse, and a sex scandal.
Get out of this POS organization
The land there would be worth a fortune
I want to get all these damn spies out of the country
My guess is that they want more info on how we did it so they could reassess their military’s potential effectiveness.
I believe the appropriate response to anyghing the UN szys is:
boo freaking hoo
The UN is, was, and always will be, “behind” Iran, Soleimani, and every other anti-American terrorist in the world. Therefore, we are as fully justified in eliminating them (the guilty ones at least) as we were in eliminating Soleimani himself. I say let ‘em stay. Easier to hit them. Heck, MAKE them stay until we’re done with the job. See who wants to vote with Satan after that.
86 the UN
This a-hole Iranian general Qassem Soleimani was responsible for many American as well as other countries peoples death,
He is in hell where he belongs.
The U.N. has a few dozen muslem countries that band together.
The U.N. should be kicked out of the U.S. and we should quit funding their sorry asses
No kidding every time I had to go by the UN building in Manhattan I would spit. And get nauseous.
I thought what a great piece of real estate being wasted.
Free countries are few in number.
Why would they want to meet with dozens of countries that aren’t?
There’s nothing in common and no common interests or goals.
Just treachery and deceit.
Come to think of it, the UN is a lot like my ex :).
