Quote:GENEVA, June 16 (Reuters) - African countries are lobbying to set up a U.N. inquiry into “systemic racism” and “police brutality” in the United States and elsewhere, aiming to defend the rights of people of African descent, a draft resolution seen by Reuters shows.

The text, circulating among diplomats in Geneva, voices alarm at “recent incidents of police brutality against peaceful demonstrators defending the rights of Africans and of people of African descent”. It is due to be considered at an urgent debate of the U.N. Human Rights Council on Wednesday.

The 47-member Council agreed on Tuesday to convene at the request of Burkina Faso on behalf of African countries after the death last month of George Floyd, an African American, in police custody in Minneapolis. His death has ignited protests worldwide.

The United States, which quit the Council two years ago alleging bias against its ally Israel, has not commented on being put in the dock.

The text, subject to change after negotiation at the Council, calls for setting up “an independent international commission of inquiry ... to establish facts and circumstances related to the systemic racism, alleged violations of international human rights law and abuses against Africans and of people of African descent in the United States of America and other parts of the world”.

The panel should examine federal, state and local government responses to peaceful protests “including the alleged use of excessive force against protesters, bystanders and journalists”.

The resolution calls on the United States and other countries to cooperate fully with the inquiry, which would report back in a year.

The Council already has commissions of inquiry or fact-finding missions into human rights violations in hotspots including Syria, Burundi, Myanmar, South Sudan, Venezuela and Yemen.

Numerous African nations have slavery NOW. Fix that and then get back to us.

Quote:The continent of Africa is one of the regions most rife with contemporary slavery. Slavery in Africa has a long history, within Africa since before historical records, but intensifying with the Arab slave trade and again with the trans-Atlantic slave trade; the demand for slaves created an entire series of kingdoms (such as the Ashanti Empire) which existed in a state of perpetual warfare in order to generate the prisoners of war necessary for the lucrative export of slaves. These patterns have persisted into the colonial period during the late 19th and early 20th century. Although the colonial authorities attempted to suppress slavery from about 1900, this had very limited success, and after decolonization, slavery continues in many parts of Africa even though being technically illegal.

Slavery in the Sahel region (and to a lesser extent the Horn of Africa), exists along the racial and cultural boundary of Arabized Berbers in the north and darker Africans in the south.[1] Slavery in the Sahel states of Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad and Sudan in particular, continues a centuries-old pattern of hereditary servitude. Other forms of traditional slavery exist in parts of Ghana, Benin, Togo and Nigeria. There are other, non-traditional forms of slavery in Africa today, mostly involving human trafficking and the enslavement of child soldiers and child labourers, e.g. human trafficking in Angola, and human trafficking of children from Togo, Benin and Nigeria to Gabon and Cameroon.[2]

Modern day slavery in Africa according to the Anti-Slavery Society includes exploitation of subjugate populations even when their condition is not technically called "slavery":

Although this exploitation is often not called slavery, the conditions are the same. People are sold like objects, forced to work for little or no pay and are at the mercy of their "employers".

— Antislavery Society, What is Modern Slavery

Forced labor in Sub-Saharan Africa is estimated at 660,000.[3] This includes people involved in the illegal diamond mines of Sierra Leone and Liberia, which is also a direct result of the civil war in these regions.[4] In 2017, the International Labour Office estimated that 7∶1,000 people in Africa are victims of slavery.[5]

Cut them all off. No more funding to African shithole countries. Cut off the UN. Prog filth need to pray to whatever they pray to that the blue helmets never show up here.

The UN is using this BLM BS as an excuse to attempt to infringe upon the sovereignty of our Nation. The UN knows if Trump wins re-election, we’ll continue to force everyone else to pay their fair share.

If the Left cheats enough to get Bubbling Biden into the White House, the UN will be running our military in 4 years with the blessings of the DNC.

More specifically guys this about China cozying up to South Africa and Zimbabwe because they both possess rare earth minerals necessary for the production of extremely strong but lightweight alloys which go into space equipment. It is the only place outside of parts of the former Soviet Union for them to acquire them and why they want a wedge driven between the African countries and the U.S. and it's a bonus if it adds to the race problem here.

China is colonizing large parts of Africa.

Anyone who doubts that there's a worldwide concerted effort to destroy America is a fool. Every bit of the crap we see going on now, crap that would have been put down forcefully 30 years ago, hell even 10 years ago, is part of that agenda. Had people tried the crap going on in Seattle right now back in the 90's they'd have all been either rounded up or shot by now as part of an insurrection.

We are in grave peril. I have staunchly conservative friends who still maintain that they'll just continue ignoring anything negative and they are still in control of their own lives. Settle down they tell me, I'm over-reacting they say. Idiots.

Keep that up and you’ll be accused of wearing an aluminum foil hat like me.

I may be dumb but I aint stupid.

Yes, lets look to the South African example of how to improve human rights (well for one race anyway).

Or Zimbabwe or Uganda or Sudan, among others.

I know. We agree on a great many things. We just word them differently.

How about a UN inquiry into the killing fields of blacks by blacks in Chicago.

Piss on those mothers! Cut their aid off period. The taxpayers don't need to pay for those freeloaders to have a platform from which to gripe.

The WHO doesn't need another dime either. But let's see if the Washington bureaucrats let that happen.

Both organizations are just propaganda podiums for China. Why fund enemies?
