The U.N. human rights chief appealed Monday for 'urgent and profound action to combat systemic racism' in the United States, and encouraged Hong Kong authorities to 'monitor closely' the enforcement of a national security law in China derided by many activists.

Protesters take the knee outside the US Embassy, as part of an anti-racism demonstration in London, Friday, Sept. 11, 2020. GENEVA -- The U.N. human rights chief appealed Monday for "urgent and profound action to combat systemic racism" in the United States, and encouraged Hong Kong authorities to "monitor closely" the enforcement of a national security law in China derided by many activists.

Bachelet, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, highlighted concerns about use of force by police in cases such as the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin last month, and recently-revealed details of the death of Daniel Prude in Rochester, New York, earlier this year. Overall, she said the lack of accountability "for many prior killings underscores the gravity of this crisis.

Bachelet said she would speak later in the council's three-week session to follow up on a resolution it passed in June commissioning a report on systematic racism and discrimination against Black people. Many see the law as Beijing's boldest move yet to remove a legal firewall between the semi-autonomous territory of Hong Kong and the mainland's Communist Party system.

DefundTheUN !

Why do you have a far left radical hate group in your picture? Black Lives Matter is the exact reason we are seeing so much hate and violence. CTV is promoting and embracing pure hatred.

Defund the UN.

How ridiculous - and Iran is what then........?

You lost us when you said UN Rights Chief... perhaps a source from an rights committee not comprised of the worst human rights abusers.

UN is the antithesis to moral judgment. The UN is an anti-Western organization that has human rights abusers as their moral compass. Real journalists would not use the UN as a legitimate voice.

UN is completely corrupt and run by China

The UN has zero credibility.
