[quote:Anonymous Coward 75989607:MV8zNzE4OTQxXzY2NTIzNzg1XzJERDRBRUMw] We should cast our eyes back on the UN and judge them with discernment from above They sure have a perverted sense of 'love' as they are the leading advocates of pushing sex rights for children that will 'trump' parental roles, creating the legal environment for themselves- adults - to sexually prey on children under the guise 'children can give consent' [/quote]
Original Message
Time for Trumpists to declare "fake news."
“American exceptionalism was a constant theme in my conversations. But instead of realising its founders’ admirable commitments, today’s United States has proved itself to be exceptional in far more problematic ways that are shockingly at odds with its immense wealth and its founding commitment to human rights.”
He added: “There is no other developed country where so many voters are disenfranchised and where so few poor voters even care to go to the polls.”
Mr Alston delivered his comments alongside a draft report which he made public. His final report will be available in the spring of 2018 and will be presented to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva in June of next year.
