In a world gone insane, this yente is called an "expert." The US killed, Qassem Soleimani, the murderer of US troops and the murderer of thousands of women and children with a drone, yet Agnes Callamard from the UN, finds the execution of this animal "unlawful".
One of her complaints is that he was killed by a drone.... ok.. I get it, next time the US should execute an Iranian murderer when he is sitting with his family in a restaurant..... !
What makes her an "expert?"
I see that she conducted human rights investigations in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and has yet to come to any conclusions from her findings.... but to stop a guy who is a threat to the world by killing him, that's "unlawful."
The January US drone strike in Iraq that killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani and nine other people represented a violation of international law, a UN human rights investigator said on Monday.

The United States has failed to provide sufficient evidence of an ongoing or imminent attack against its interests to justify the strike on Soleimani's convoy as it left Baghdad airport, said Agnes Callamard, UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary, or arbitrary executions.
The attack violated the UN Charter, Callamard wrote in a report calling for accountability for targeted killings by armed drones and for greater regulation of the weapons.
"The world is at a critical time, and possible tipping point when it comes to the use of drones. ... The Security Council is missing in action; the international community, willingly or not, stands largely silent," Callamard, an independent investigator, told Reuters.
Callamard is due on Thursday to present her findings to the UN Human Rights Council, giving member states a chance to debate what action to pursue. The United States is not a member of the forum, having quit two years ago.
Soleimani, leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps' Quds Force, was a pivotal figure in orchestrating Iran's campaign to drive US forces out of Iraq and built up Iran's network of proxy armies across the Middle East. Washington had accused Soleimani of masterminding attacks by Iranian-aligned militias on US forces in the region.
"Maj. Gen. Soleimani was in charge of Iran military strategy, and actions, in Syria and Iraq. But absent an actual imminent threat to life, the course of action taken by the US was unlawful," Callamard wrote in the report.
The Jan. 3 drone strike was the first known incident in which a nation invoked self-defense as a justification for an attack against a state actor in the territory of a third country, Callamard added.
Iran retaliated with a rocket attack on an Iraqi airbase where US forces were stationed. Hours later, Iranian forces on high alert mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian passenger airliner taking off from Tehran.
Iran has issued an arrest warrant for US President Donald Trump and 35 others over Soleimani's killing and has asked Interpol for help, Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr said on June 29, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
The two legged animals residing in that zoo and insane asylum called the UN are a bigger danger to humanity than all the terrorist organizations combined.
ReplyDeleteThese filthy sewer rats need to be taken out and dealt with like you would with a rabies infected animal,the next American drone strike should be on that structure called the UN
UNsane.
ReplyDeleteFor Israel this is good news...because it shows normal people that the UN is a dangerous joke, and at the very least should be ignored when they constantly libel Israel.
