Michael McGuire: UN weighs in on California politics

The Arizona legislature’s passage this week of a bill to prohibit the state and its subdivisions from participating in United Nations Agenda 21 has been dismissed as an act of paranoia, but the UN has shown an increasing interest in the nation’s domestic affairs.

In recent months, UN agencies have criticized Arizona’s neighbor of California for alleged human rights abuses, as well as endorsed a proposition on November’s state ballot.

On April 27, the UN’s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights endorsed a California initiative that would mandate the end of capital punishment; and replace it with a provision sentencing first-degree murderers to 25 years to life, or life in prison without parole, depending upon the circumstances.

In denouncing the use of the death penalty, the UN compared the US to China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.

In September, an official with the title of the UN’s Special Rapporteur on the Human Right to Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation sharply criticized the City of Sacramento.

“Open defecation, open urination have been criminalized,” the UN spokesperson said. “So what happens is that someone can be criminalized just because he/she does not have a place to do his physiological needs.”

Public urination is, actually, an infraction in California, not a crime.

The UN is authorized to speak about what is or is not a violation of human rights in the US by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in which nations “pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms.”

  1. You have a right to sanitation. If you cannot afford a toilet, one will be appointed for you.

    Agenda-21,–a Fascist, U.N. empowerment ploy, SHOULD be opposed at all levels and imo, a filthy Globalist would call it “Paranoid,” although doing such would be a Grave INSULT to the Rock-group Black Sabbeth (–the first part was serious, the 2nd…not so much). The last thought of the Frog, unable to now jump-out of the previously cool bath he’s cooking in, is that one moment he was deliciously warm,–the next, is that he’s too weak to jump-out and save himself. The Globalists, the Communists, and the U.N.’s agenda-21, are ALL performing gradual-murder, like the Frog.

    What are they going to say about Africans without outhouses?

    A combination of laws that make it possible to get into a situation where there is no possible legal action is the proper target of a newpaper editorialist or a satirist. It is not the proper purview of an international human rights watchdog group. The death penalty, on the other hand, while I cannot fault international groups for lobbying for it’s repeal (being a major issue worldwide), it is a far cry from a human rights issue.
