Cholera was unknown in Haiti? I find that hard to believe.

Without immunity, nobody will let their troops participate in peacekeeping missions. That may not be such a bad outcome.

“Diplomatic immunity”

I forget what movie that was from... i do remember that he lost it in a serious way at the end though..

Seems to me this should be a simple to rule on case. Other than politics, which can make a P.B.J. sandwich difficult commonsense, and precedent should prevail. The U.N. is who hands out the blue helmets.

10,000 deaths in Haiti brought to it by the oh-so-competent UN? Remember, this is the world government that “Pope Bergolio” wants us to surrender our souls, as well as our lives to.

Hey, Pope Baby, I’ve got some swamp land in Florida you might want to build a cathedral on! Gimme a call.

Does Haiti even have standing to file with the Supreme Court? They’re their own country.

After the numerous rapes, murders, drunk driving deaths, etc on the part of UN personnel....THIS is the case that the SCOTUS will rule upon?!

[Alberta's Child]

I’m pretty sure the Federal courts had previously dismissed this case not because the U.N. has immunity, but because the U.S. courts have no jurisdiction in the matter.

This case seems like a long shot at best for the plaintiffs.

The UN is nothing more than a cult and should be eliminated.

Why should anyone have diplomatic immunity? If we choose to go into their country we are expected to obey their laws, just as they should when they are here, Why is there even such a thing as diplomatic immunity?

A good way to start collecting the gazillion dollars of parking tickets these clowns akroo.
Achroo?
Akcrew?

PS i have no idea how to spell that word....must be the beer...

Why litigate Hatian cholera in a US court?

[GaryCrow]

I also don’t see why the U.S. Supreme Court would be involved with a case between the U.N. and Haitians. That being said, diplomatic immunity and status of forces agreements are essential between countries sending diplomats or military forces into other countries. It’s impossible for a diplomat or military member to do their jobs if they’re not protected from harassment by the host nation, most other nations don’t have U.S. standards of due process and fear of arbitrary arrest would make their work impossible. Imagine how the current U.S. presence in Afghanistan would work if local tribal leaders could arrest U.S. soldiers for seeing a woman without her head covered during a raid on a suspected terrorist’s house.

I also have a hard time believing anyone could bring a disease to a pigsty like Haiti that isn’t already there in spades.
