The world will be in danger if Republican nominee Donald Trump becomes president of the United States, the top United Nations human rights official said on Wednesday.

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein cited Trump's views on vulnerable communities including minorities and his talk of authorising torture in interrogations, banned under international law, as "deeply unsettling and disturbing".

"If Donald Trump is elected on the basis of what he has said already - and unless that changes - I think it is without any doubt that he would be dangerous from an international point of view," Zeid told a news briefing in Geneva.

Trump lashed out at U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan and other "disloyal" Republicans on Tuesday and vowed to campaign in whatever style he wants now that the party establishment has largely abandoned him. This occurred after a 2005 video surfaced last week showing him bragging crudely about groping women and making unwanted sexual advances.

Zeid said that he would rather not interfere in political campaigns. But when a candidate's comments pointed to a potential use of torture, prohibited under the Convention against Torture, a pact ratified by Washington, or to vulnerable groups possibly losing their basic rights, he had to speak out.

In a speech in The Hague last month, Zeid accused Trump of spreading "humiliating racial and religious prejudice" and warned of a rise of populist politics that could turn violent.

Thanks UN for solidifying my support for DJT. If they’re against him then I’m all for him.

Another enemy Moslem for HilLIARy

and why not, given she’s sold out to them (to the tune of at least a reported 200 million $$$)

they figure they will keep pulling her strings also with her apparently-24/7/365 lady “first aide” from the Moslem Brotherhood terrorist gang family

What is deeply unsettling and disturbing is that the UN is telling us what is deeply unsettling and disturbing.

Donald Trump will stop Islamic invasion to the United States. And that’s a good thing. Perhaps he can take us out of the UN and the UN out of our country.

Coming from the UN, and a Muslim, that is a double endorsement for why Trump needs to be elected president.

A friend of mine hates. Hillary but says she cannot vote for Trump. I think this is where she is coming from, Trump will start WW3.
Personally I think a weak Clinton presidency will get us attacked from every direction. I am remembering Carton and Reagan.

forgotten man :" I don’t want anybody named Hussein lecturing us about human rights."

You best get ready for it - told what to do by Hussein, Mohammed, Ishmael , etc.
The moslem world is increasing in number, due to political conquest. Soon we will be outnumbered.
It's time to get the U.N. out of the USA since it has become as feckless and useless to peace-keeping, humanitarian crises, natural disasters ,plague , and pestilence, etc., etc.
We contribute more than any other country, yet the UN is knowinfly corrupt , and yet there has NEVER been an audit to verify where the money is going,.. or for what purpose.
Time to bid Adieu !

Yes...his election would cause a danger to the corrupt-o-crats and other duplicitous a-holes in the un and throughout the world. However, in their countries, probably they will be merely killed by their population. So sad...

“A friend of mine hates. Hillary but says she cannot vote for Trump. I think this is where she is coming from, Trump will start WW3.”

She needs her attention directed to the Roman proverb, “Si vis pacem, para bellum.”

If you wish peace, prepare for war.

Trump is our best chance to avoid WWIII. Obunghole has us closer than we’ve been since Kennedy.
