UN claims to be above the law, says its legal to kill 8000 Haitians with impunity
By Èzili Dantò
With this announcement of absolute immunity, the UN and thus its employer, the US, has made legal history with "the Haiti exception" to international and national established laws. Basically saying it is legal to kill 8,000 and infect over 620,000 Haitians. That Haitians have no recourse to legal redress as a matter of UN and thus US "politics and policy?!"
