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?!"

US False NGO Benevolence in Haiti by
HLLN

Go HERE for the entire post.  Some excerpts:

"Ezili Danto of HLLN discusses on Black Agenda Report with Glen Ford the US occupation forces claiming absolute immunity for bringing cholera deaths and water poisoning to Haiti, February 22, 2013, (UN denies liability for bringing cholera to Haiti.)"

"HLLN has never subscribed to the callous and profiting-on-misery notion of letting the UN independently investigate itself while Haiti's people die unmercifully. On February 21, 2013, the United Nations officially rejected legal responsibility for damage claims to Haiti cholera victims (Aljazeera Video -- Haiti: Victimising the victims?;...) ....As the UN has rejected or been non-responsive to virtually every human right violation claims made by Haitians since the US occupation began in 2004, we at HLLN had no past UN behavior that provided a logical basis to expect a different answer from the UN other than the one it announced ..."

The strategic use of the cholera case to help take down the US occupation in Haiti,  free the world from UN cloaking imperialism
