The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights says the United States breached international law by executing a Mexican national.
Navi Pillay, in a statement Friday, said he deeply regrets the execution of Humberto Leal Garcia, after a last-minute 5-4 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court denied him a stay of execution Thursday night.
"The execution of Mr. Leal Garcia places the U.S. in breach of international law," said Pillay, who is currently on official mission in Mexico. "What the state of Texas has done in this case is imputable in law to the U.S. and engages the United States' international responsibility."
Garcia was convicted of raping and killing a 16-year-old girl and was executed by lethal injection Thursday evening in Texas.

“”The execution of Mr. Leal Garcia places the U.S. in breach of international law,””
What law specifically did we break?
One of the federated states did it.
The US federal government has enumerated powers that do not include dictating state law.
Yeah, so what are they going to do about it? LOL
As is I give a smelly Obama about what the UN says.
Shove it, UN.
Up yours.
He’s dead, Jim. And good riddance, Texas.
Tough sheepdip.
You don't like it? Move to Europe.
Okay, you caught us. We will immediately turn over our leader, Obama, to begin serving time for this crime.
I am really worried about this. </sarc>
The UN broke my law by claiming it has any relevancy.
And?
Lol, I wish.
Oh, now, let’s be fair.
Obama was quite opposed to it.
It was those rat bastards in Texas that iced the raping & murdering piece of excrement.
We had barbecues and drinks in celebration.
Anyone know where the UN just got 2 Billion dollars to remodel the building they rent from Senator Rockafeller?
How do you say illegal alien because I doubt this pos was in the country legally.
Last time I checked, Texas belonged to the United States - not the world.
Never mind North Korea being the chairman on their Conference on Disarmament.
This is the same UN that has brutal dictatorships sit on the Human Rights council, no?
