FROM THE NY TIMES 3/16/2015:

United Nations Workers Accused of Sexual Abuse

By SOMINI SENGUPTAMARCH 16, 2015

UNITED NATIONS — United Nations personnel were accused in nearly 80 cases of rape, sexual assault and sex trafficking in 2014 alone, with the bulk of the cases involving peacekeepers deployed to some of the most troubled parts of the world.

The findings, part of a 32-page report released quietly last week, are part of a decade-long effort by the organization to stanch sexual abuse by its own staff and soldiers.

The report resurrects some tough proposals that countries in the General Assembly had quashed in the past, including holding courts-martial in the countries where complaints were made, rather than simply sending the accused soldiers home, as is often the case.

“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. 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.”

First of all, the world is in danger right now, under its current leadership - including the hapless UN. Second, if this guy is concerned with human rights, then maybe he should be going to places where Christians are being persecuted, and where ISIS is killing the innocent - including children. Third, ‘the rise of populist politics’ is a reaction to the world being run by an elitist coalition of self-interested narcissistic politicians, insulated and ideological academics, a media that wants the power to control and shape the world instead of reporting on it, and an entertainment industry that is often a tool of propagandists.

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".

While member countries of the UN Human Rights Council include China, Cuba, Russia, Saudi Arabia...

I find Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein to be "deeply unsettling and disturbing".

Putin ally tells Americans: vote Trump or face nuclear war

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Uh huh. There being so little danger now, what with the entire Mideast being on fire and with the most nucleonic words exchanged between Russia and the US in 25 years.

Which one of these child-rapists is the Human Rights Commissioner?

A Trump presidency upsetting the UN is another reason to vote for him.
