The United Nations has urged the U.S. to stop using what critics say is excessive force on protesters and journalists during ongoing demonstrations in cities, including Portland, Ore.
There have been reports that peaceful protesters have been detained by unidentified police officers and that is a worry because it may place those detained outside the protection of the law and may give rise to arbitrary detention and other human rights violations, Liz Throssell, a U.N. human rights spokeswoman, said at a news briefing in Geneva on Friday.
The authorities should ensure that federal and local security forces deployed are properly and clearly identified and would use force only when necessary, proportionately and in accordance with international standards, she said.
President Trump dispatched members of the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, Federal Protective Service and U.S. Marshals Service to both Portland and Washington, D.C., where peaceful demonstrations have turned violent, with ratcheted-up efforts to deface federal property and, in some cases, attack officers.

The UN, like the League of Nations is trash. We pay for all the major world organizations.
If these cretins wrote the news during WWII, after we dropped a thermonuclear bomb on Hiroshima, we were protesting Japans attack on Pearl Harbor four years prior.
The very existence of the UN is a human rights violation.
UN out of the US.
US out of the UN.
Now.
Human rights have limits in a civilized society. You are not violating someone’s human rights when you shoot them as they try to destroy your property. You are not violating someone’s human rights when you force them to the ground while they are trying to vandalize and loot.
In fact, you are not violating someone’s human rights when they refuse to get off the freeway so you taze them and drag them off.
Could you tamp down the rapes your Peacekeepers commit on women and children. There could be some human rights violations there, you know?
The rioters violate our right to peacefully assemble.
I urge the UN to pucker up and kiss my hairy butt.
The UN has become the propaganda arm for the Muslims who are noted for their handling of human rights.
...and our free speech rights. Just try saying something they disagree with: you'll get mobbed and beat down.
She might have a "small point" here, verging on invisible. The federal security forces that she refers to are a pickup team from several different federal agencies. And "clearly marked" is a matter of opinion when uniforms vary. And, after all, ANTIFA seems to have no problems identifying them.
No doubts these savants have also condemned communist China for their human rights atrocities.
Twelve times the US government has sent troops to cities to quell riots; the 101st Airborne sent by Eisenhower to Little Rock, a bastion of Democrat racist hate. Portland and Seattle have no basis of complaints and dare to call fed’s Storm Troopers.
US out of the UN. no, we have veto power there, do not give up our veto power
U.S. out of the U.N.
The criminal bums, child molesters and spies at the un can KMA. The number of human rights violations by the un and its representatives is too large to count. Call them all to the un building for an important conference and topple it into the river. Civil societies everywhere will benefit from that.
Translation: The Deep State has called in the UN in their war against Donald Trump. Our civil war has an international dimension. As it always did (Steele, etc.).
Our nuclear deterrent is our veto power.
No point being in a room full of hypocritical lying sociopaths telling us how evil _we_ are.
Doesn’t the UN ( useless nation’s ) have something better to do, you know, raping starving children with the promise of food later?
Never apologize to a Democrat, they’ll only call you “Hitler” anyway. They have no shame, and zero sense of proportion. Like, what would they do if Trump actually sent the Army into Portland? They’ve already said, “He sent storm-troopers in.” LOL! What a bunch of babies!
