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.

Well, perhaps that's better than the alternative who is global danger and a crook to boot.
Zeid to Ghitmo?
I don’t want anybody named Hussein lecturing us about human rights.
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
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.
Correct me I’m wrong..but disn’t the U.N. put such humanitarians as Chavez and/or Iran or Hamas tyes of the Human Rights Council??
If Donald Trump becomes president, I hope he poses a danger to the U.N.

No more than that demonstratd by the UN every, single day of the year.
“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”
Shut your festering gob, you pigdog murder muzzie.
Why is this filthy scumbag allowed within our borders?
The UN is the real threat!
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.
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.
a global danger to globalism
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.
