UN: U.S. Violating Human Rights of Children

[Tom Doyers]

Wonder why this little story didn't make it to NBC, CNN, FOX, Drudge, etc. No lip syncing angle?


"The Obama Administration recently underwent its first U.N. treaty body review, and the resulting concluding observations made public yesterday should be a cause for alarm. The observations, issued by independent U.N. experts tasked with monitoring compliance with the international treaty on the rights of children in armed conflict (formally known as the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict or "OPAC"), paint a dark picture of the treatment of juveniles by the U.S. military in Afghanistan: one where hundreds of children have been killed in attacks and air strikes by U.S. military forces, and those responsible for the killings have not been held to account even as the number of children killed doubled from 2010 to 2011; where children under 18 languish in detention facilities without access to legal or full humanitarian assistance, or adequate resources to aid in their recovery and reintegration as required under international law. Some children were abused in U.S. detention facilities, and others are faced with the prospect of torture and ill-treatment if they are transferred to Afghan custody."

Because as far as children's rights go they have it pretty good in the US. You want rights violations then look at North Korea, Africa, and the Middle East. In North Korea were people resort to cannibalism to survive. In Africa where babies and children are raped by men with AIDS because they think raping a virgin cures AIDS. And the Middle East where child marriage and sex slavery are ways of life.

A vagina that tastes like garlic would be an improvement over some of the nasty snatches I've encountered over the years.

Did you read the passage or just react? The UN is talking about US drone strikes and prisons in the Middle East.

Fuck the UN and their reports on our actions while they welcome legitimate despots and human rights abusers with open arms.

I was guessing that his point was, their quality of life before our military arrived was abysmal. In fact, Afghanistan is the worst country on the planet for children and mothers. For mothers, their life expectancy (outside of the conflict) results in the worst death rates during childbirth and their child mortality rate is the worst.

Of course no one is reading the passage. This is the ADD generation.

Good for Obama, I hope he expands the strikes.

Every dead civilian is one less potential muslim terrorist.
Every Dead Muslim women is one less women who can have a baby terrorist.
Every dead muslim child is one less muslim child that will grow up to be a terrorist.
I say nuke the muslims and be done with it.

Right on.

So you guys would rather we have American troops on the ground dying in guerrilla warefare? I mean the real issue is that the insurgents live amongst the populace. I mean I wish right wingers could keep their bullshit straight. Bush only really gave one word of advise to Obama before leaving, keep using the drones. I didn't object to Bush doing it, neither did FOX Snooze, and I don't object to it now. I mean there's a reason US casualties have dropped considerably. It ain't safer we are just using technology to wage our war.
