It appears that most states in the US are in flagrant violation of the UN's human rights guidance in implementing their shutdown policies. I am no UN worshipper, but this shows the severity of the "dictatorship virus" in our land. We certainly are not the land of the free today.

“While we recognize the severity of the current health crisis and acknowledge that the use of emergency powers is allowed by international law in response to significant threats, we urgently remind States that any emergency responses to the coronavirus must be proportionate, necessary and non-discriminatory,” the experts said.

You mean like allowing abortionists to remain open, but dentists and doctors offices to remain closed? Or State owned marijuana shops to remain open, but barber shops must be closed.

Wow... the UN showing more concern about human rights than we usually expect from the US? That’s a sea change.

I am appalled at the number of liberal politicians who are jumping on this chance to impose autocratic dictatorships and permanent restrictions on our freedoms. I’d have something to say about the people who vote them into office, but with the rampant and well-oiled vote fraud machine the left has assembled, it is impossible to know how many of those would-be dictators were actually elected into office.

We haven’t been the land of the free since the govt changed in 1865. Since that time the facist/communist have been in control. Once a govt seeks equality, fair play, things like that, it’s a socialist/communist govt. They desire a certain out come for people, thus the people are no longer in control. We are over 25 trillion in debt. No way that is not a socialist govt.

I believe “States” in this sense means sovereign states or countries.

All people who want to express their human rights during the shut down need to be kept in one area and lets see what the data shows with death rate.

For the first time that I can recall, I am in some agreement with “UN experts”.
