Police violence, executions, Gitmo: US grilled by UN human rights panel The UN Human Rights Council
Police violence, executions, Gitmo: US grilled by UN human rights panel The UN Human Rights Council called out the US over the disturbing trend of excessive force being used against minorities by law enforcement agencies, adding that the US has “largely failed” to follow up on recommendations made in 2010. Appearing before the so-called Universal Periodic Review, which all 193 UN countries must submit to every four years, US ambassador to the council Keith Harper and acting US legal advisor Mary McLeod were quizzed regarding recent cases of police brutality. Namibia UN representative Gladice Pickering called on US officials to “collaborate closely with marginalized communities to fix the broken justice system that continues to discriminate against them, despite recent waves of protest over racial profiling and police killings of unarmed black men.” -- source link
