Delegates, wearing protective face masks, attend the resuming of a United Nations Human Rights Council session before an urgent debate on allegations of"systemic racism, police brutality and violence against peaceful protests" in the United States following the death of George Floyd druing the coronavirus disease outbreak in Geneva, Switzerland, June 15, 2020 Fabrice Coffrini/Pool via...
The decision by the U.N. Human Rights Council followed a request last week by Burkina Faso on behalf of African countries, it said in a statement on Monday. “The death of George Floyd is unfortunately not an isolated incident,” said the African group’s letter made public by the United Nations. “The numbers of previous cases of unarmed people of African descent who met the same fate because of uncontrolled police violence are legion,” the letter said.
Such a joke. All they will find out is that there is systemic racism that benefits black people. systemicracismisamyth
Good luck with that
Oohh, what a nice move. And, what happened with Venezuela ? There is not human rights there. Let's see.
And then what?
That's a switch.
The UN? Really. They need a big mirror so they can see true racism. Go anywhere in the world and then compare to the US.
Who cares - they hate the US whenever we refuse to kiss their butts and barely like us when we do. They need to go worry about their own countries.
Thanks, I needed a good laugh today. Wow the hipocrisy.
Please pay attention on who is running the UN human rights council. It is running by most of no human rights countries now. So opposite to it is right now. The Reuters is spending wrong message here.
😂
realDonaldTrump defundTheUN
This will be on OANN 'news channel' marketed as 'the liberal media lovers won't let us be us!!' They think that this will get Trump votes.

U.N. (HRC) TAKING THE CRIES OF TINY CORRUPTIBLE BURKINA FASO ABOUT RACISM IN U.S.. A DISTRACTION BY CCP CHINESE MEMBERS OF THE HRC FURTHER DELIGITIMIZING U.N.. AN OBVIOUS AND LAUGHABLE PLOY BY DESPERATE CCP CHINA TO TAKE FOCUS AWAY FROM ITS OWN HUMAN RIGHTS AUTROCITIES!
ACTINOSProject Coukd the also keep an eye on Australia as well. Thanks.
They can start with this one.
About time
The human rights council members are: China, Venezuela, Nigeria, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Cuba...
Hardworking and law-abiding African Americans fare well in US. They are given priority in university admission, academic positions, jobs, etc. No other countries treat one minority group as good as USA!
Wow I can just imagine call President Trump we'll stay towards United Nations what they're going to be talking about the racism of the police in the United states.
Fuck the UN. If trump really wants my vote he will pull the US out.
What about police brutality happening in Hong Kong It has been over a year?Selective debate on police brutality, violence against MUCH more peaceful protest much Wow.
Mxm when is the un holding a urgent meeting about China being accountable for Corona WUHAN China virus that killed thousands globally when are they paying for this
We should let all of Europe burn. Withdraw all troops and let Russia do its thing.
The U.N.? I guess I missed the “urgent debate” about the hundreds of thousands of Uighurs imprisoned by Communist China. The U.N. is only a theater ofmthe absurd.
Someone should do something. Americans are under leadership so out of touch, they're in denial of inequality's very existence.
They should also hold an urgent debate on proved systemic police brutality and excessive violence against protestors in Hong Kong. Otherwise, the U.N. human rights body has double standard and bias towards CCP, and I suspect they do! Time to exit U.N., western civilization.
America uses the UN when it serves their agenda. Let's see how quickly the US lashes out at the UN and call them biased and illegitimate now that the accusations point to American actions. Funny how Israel plays the same game.
Should have done this many years ago,
How about looking into actuall slavery happening all around the world, and the plight of children?
Here’s a hint, systemic racism does not exist in the United States. It has been fabricated by the left to keep black and brown Americans down.
Goddam!!
Please define peaceful!
I wonder what country made that motion? ... not really. I know it wasn't one of our friends.
China has long been torturing Uyghurs , people of Tibet , EastTurkistan and now HongKong . The CCP deserves sanctions for its dictatorship and HumanRightsViolation . Where are you? UN ? Just waked up? Chinazi HKPoliceState FreeTibet UyghurLivesMatter
Among current members of the Council are Libya, Mauritania (there are still slaves there), Sudan and Venezuela. Last year they replaced China, Cuba, Egypt, Iraq, Rwanda and Saudi Arabia.
eh... there are other countries where human rights is an alien concept but it’s just fashionable to go after the US
What a joke, the UN Human rights Council is completely controlled by China and its surrogates. Guess what the end result is going to be.
And then I can take the report they generate and use it to wipe my...
Which united state are we talking?
We also need UN oversight of our elections.
Eritrea is on the UN Human Rights council recently ranked 2 globally for 'highest number of people living in slave-like conditions.' I'm open to learning, but unsure the UN Human Rights Council is the best arbitrator of advancing human rights...
What the hell?!?
Have you ~seen~ the racism, police brutality, and violence in the countries that compromise the UN human rights council? Please, this will just be another USA bad circle jerk. Sure, there are issues to be addressed, but asking ~these~ guys to examine it is hypocrisy at best.
This is how far we have fallen under potus “leadership”. What a disgrace.
Oh shut up already UNHumanRights
🙄
The most active parties would be China, Cuba and Saudi Arabia. Champions in human rights.
UN is useless POS organization and should not be funded by US... now do Pakistan, Iran, etc... hypocrites...
Like US Un
I like the comment about having an 'urgent debate'......they've obviously been consuming CNN at excessive levels.
Tarnseele so the 'ellites' plan to invade the US using allegations of 'systemic racism, police brutality and violence against peaceful protests? LOl.. who sits on UN board.. they going to try with seattle and MN. Its not going to work.
Very nice.
Hey, US has been loudly saying that it has the best record of human rights. Its notorious police brutality is necessary to enforce the US human rights style, which including killing its own people who are considered of no need to have basic human rights.
What the actual fuck 😂😃🤣 Maybe shut down china's concentration camps first? china has apparently bribed every official in the west through a third party.
lol. Have you seen who's on the council? Libya, Sudan, Venezuela, and Mauritania. Libya & Mauritania still have widespread slavery. For real. Wtf are they on the council?
Really!? Where were they on crack down on freedom protesters in Hong Kong? Conspicuously absent. KickOutUN
Good luck telling US hard heads they are wrong. This is a Nazi system country, slavery hate, racism, oppression, corpoarte prisons And you are its servants. The western tyrrany is collapsing. You loose
Defund this far left organization. Didn't see them allegating against China , Venezuela , etc
Wait, there is still a UN? I thought we abolished that in like the 70's and its final act was to prank the PRC by giving it Taiwan's seat on the UN security council right before it happened.

What a disgraceful indictment of the Trump presidency. They all should be hanging their heads in shame but sadly they won’t.
Wow, someone else is finally paying attention. While your at it, UN, take a look at what our federal gov COVID-19 response has done too, please. We're under attack by our own government on several fronts!
which one?
This is a good thing...but you morons should open your eyes ...are you afraid to look at China! Or North Korea? Thought so!
Amazing seeing Americans being called out for the same behavior they've been attacking others for. Didn't America bomb Iraq to 'free the Iraqi people from tyrannical rule?'
That’s hilarious
...and they will find no systemic racism or police brutality. They’re just useless bureaucrats.
Did the UN_HRC do that when the Indian government locked down 8 million Kashmiris without communication for months & when the Indian government used Brute-force against peacefully protesting students & citizens
It's about time the UnitedNations got involved if it had been any other nation they would have already had boots on the ground and issuing sanctions.
Where is United State?
Bullshit
Anyone care for HK？🤷♂️
Looooooooooooong overdue
More platitudes
The US, when run by the white supremacist controlled GOP, is no better than a fascist dictatorship. At the national level, they must pretend to care about people of color, but there is no pretense at a state level, and local government is utterly corrupt. VoteOutTheGOP in 2020.
It would be unfair to send black refugees to america in light of this
My oh my how far the US has fallen on civil and human rights abuses in the eyes of the world.
The UN is a complete mockery. Why are we in it?
Two guesses which country proposed this debate...
But the US already pulled out of this toothless organization. US admin will just spin in the air whatever the conclusion be from this.
Well this will.abig call trying to shaft the country that pays the most $s
😮
The China „Human Rights“ Council, 🦍
Gee, what if this gives Donald a stroke...
Accelerate.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Does it the same on examining Hong Kong ppl and Uyghurs in China?
We have problems, no doubt. The UN can fuck itself though.
The UN trying to convince the world that they’re still a relevant organisation... You didn’t think they could be more ineffective than in the past but Antonio Gutierrez has definitely seen to that, the most spineless Secretary General possibly ever.
Doesn't Iran sit on this panel?
And this is news how? Rueters why dont you ask the UN about human rights in China, Iran, Saudia? How about past genicide THEY let happen? Or child soldiers in Africa? Or maybe even human trafficking and sex slaves? Why dont you start there instead of spreading the same retoric
cool, when we DefundPolice we can just shoot on sight any suspicious trespassers wearing identifiable markings of foreign invaders, with out fear of TheDemocrats politicians and bureaucrats retribution.
What a joke. Have they measured other countries? The US is one of the least racist and has one of the highest levels of human rights in the World. This is an objective fact or are we measuring silenced populations by dictatorships as being successful?
🖕🏿 Here UN, I found it for you.
U.N. - ohhh, you mean our overlords? Why? Ist there a new Agenda coming out?
😂😂 WHO?
And any help to stop the genocide against the Yemeni, Rohinga and all the other people in the world being slaughtered on a daily basis
Focus on Paris.. even less diversity yet more police brutality.
Racism towards African dispora of people is a global system that targetting. resources Crippling with intrest Land ownership and buisness Inequities in all none African countries Inequality in African countries Education and leadership And so on
While they continue to ignore the existence of chattel sIave markets in the Middle East and North Africa region.
ESTO ES UNA GRAN SEÑAL DE LA CAÍDA DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS MUY LAMENTABLE LOS VERDADEROS ESTADO UNIDENSES YÁ NO EXISTEN
We aren’t looking to increase it, we are looking to reduce and remove it. Sorry we called you by accident.
Finally! However, it’s worth remembering Amnesty International already issued a massive report exposing the systemic racism and police brutality lurking just beneath the USA’s justice system’s surface. The report was roundly decried by the far-right, then eventually forgotten.
Maybe they should look towards Saudi Arabia, China and other authoritative regimes for their systematic violence against their own people.
compromised
The greatest agenda of 7.7billion people of the WORLD is something you fill to abdomen(food); including to me!!!! Other things are small!! Also the greatest cause of 3rd world war might be this!! Oh my GOD protect me!! Amaan Tolaa
Que Quitter Nikki to tweet insults at the U.N.
Cant they do WHO first?
That so-called UN body needs to investigate systemic anti-Semitism in the UN then.
😂
Examine? ACT!
Yeah... the U.N. will help. The place that lets china lead on human rights and saudia arabia lead on women’s issues... great.
U.N. 'rights body' .... you can fcuk right off.
They have no authority over US
