After the departure of the disgraceful and disgraced former HIGH COMMISSIONER for HUMAN RIGHTS, Louise Arbour, How will the UNITED NATIONS restore the faith in the body that was set up to prevent atrocities that occurred during WWII ?

This is quick diary to get the debate going on how to make the UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL and the OHCHR, CERD and other relevant bodies to uphold their mandates on HUMAN RIGHTS and Racial Discrimination

After the farce of the Milosovec and Saddam trials, to see Arbour not get her own trial is quite disturbing

i guess i can begin my book on the Art of Institutional Racism.

Leonard Peltier is a Five-Time Nobel Nominee

American Indian activist Leonard Peltier has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for the fifth consecutive year.  The fact that Peltier has earned the distinction of a Nobel nomination every year since 2004 is especially remarkable - Peltier has been an inmate in the United States federal prison system since 1976.

The Framing of Mumia Abu-Jamal: an interview with author J. Patrick O’Connor
author: Hans Bennett

In his new book, O'Connor argues that Abu-Jamal was clearly framed by police, and that the actual shooter was a man named Kenneth Freeman. O'Connor criticizes the local media, who, he says "bought into the prosecution's story line early on and has never been able to see this case for what it is: a framing of an innocent and peace loving man."
The Framing of Mumia Abu-Jamal: an interview with author J. Patrick O'Connor

The Obama campaign has so far opened some identity politics bordering on racism. So what is racism, what types are there, and what are the remedies?

According to

The 2 main types are overt eg. KKK, and institutional eg "but i have many black friends"

America’s racist rulers want to silence the powerful voice of
Mumia Abu-Jamal. The U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals decision
on 27 March upholding the frame-up conviction of black political
prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal for the 1981 killing of Police Officer
Daniel Faulkner is an outrage! It proves, once again, that there is no
justice in the capitalist courts! It is a slap in the face to all
opponents of racist injustice. The court’s ruling means that Mumia
faces either execution or the living death of life in prison. We must
not let this happen! Mumia must be freed now!

Just a sad reminder of the state of world affairs and the failures of the UN.

Despite this being the 60th anniversary of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION ON HUMAN RIGHTS, we havent had any celebration out of the OHCHR on their successes

According to the Canadian Barrister, Ms. Arbour, 61, is a "criminal, corrupt, (and) a shame to all Canadians". The sooner she is indicted and thrown in prison the better, says Mr. Black - who was reacting to an interview of the former senior UN officer on CBC. Ms. Arbour announced Sunday that she was retiring after years of international service.

In 1997, Ms. Arbour is said to have been informed by her chief of investigations, Australian Michael Hourigan and his team, including FBI agent Jim Lyons and Canadian police officers assigned to their unit that it was the RPF who had shot down the plane and massacred all those people.

"But instead of indicting Paul Kagame and the RPF men who had murdered all those people she ordered Hourigan to come to The Hague where she told him to kill the investigation and to burn his notes", says Mr. Black.

"This makes her an accessory to mass murder and a war criminal."
