U.N. Official Warns: Electing Mitt Romney Means ‘Democratic Mandate for Torture’

United Nations Ben Emerson: Romney Victory a Democratic Mandate for Torture

(Photo: United Nations)

The United Nations and its affiliates have been weighing in on U.S. elections with increasing frequency lately– and it’s understandable, considering a wildly disproportionate amount of its funding comes from the United States.  In the most recent event, the U.N. special rapporteur on counter-terrorism and human rights raised what he considers to be the “alarming” implications of a Republican victory.

Ben Emmerson lamented Mitt Romney’s position on waterboarding: “There is no doubt that the Romney administration would be able to claim…a democratic mandate for torture…That would put Romney as the first world leader in history to be able to claim [that].”

While he also objected to the secrecy surrounding President Obama’s drastically expanded use of drones, he apparently considers them a preferable alternative.

Emmerson says he plans to voice his concerns about a Republican victory at an upcoming U.N. meeting, but is not being quiet in the meantime.

The Canadian Press relates:

Emmerson, who was in Toronto to attend a symposium on the negative impacts post-9/11 security measures have had on human rights, said Obama had begun to realign U.S. policy with international law and the universal abhorrence of torture.

Romney’s approach was now threatening to undermine that progress, he said.

[...]

“The re-introduction of torture under a Romney administration would significantly increase the threat levels to (Americans) at home and abroad,” Emmerson said.

“Such a policy, if adopted, would expose the American people to risks the Obama administration is not currently exposing them to.” [Emphasis added]

The third debate between President Obama and Governor Romney will focus on foreign policy, where such issues are likely to come up.

However, Twitchy captured a number of tweets from Twitter users already weighing in on the topic.  “It seems that most Americans don’t really like the United Nations telling them what to do,” they summarize.

One commenter concluded: “Defund and deport this useless nuisance.”

      Drone:

      *****2: one that lives on the labors of others : parasite*****

      So the UN is going to be a neutral party monitoring our election (illegally and without jurisdiction). How can you trust this group to be neutral when the current administration sends them more money than any previous presidency, and at the same time they are making statements like this about the competition? The UN not going to be preventing voter intimidation, they are going to be heading it! This is Chicago style mob tactics, invited into our nation by Obama! US out of the UN, UN out of the US!

      Who cares what one of the worlds most irrelevant, corrupt, inept organizations thinks or who it endorses. The UN has not accomplished anything of relevance since it’s inception. The only thing the UN is good for is squandering away money, on projects that accomplish nothing, and corruption in a sense that makes the Italian Mafia look like angles. History show that this organization is lining the pockets of the few and not enforcing their own resolutions. It is time the U.S. cuts funding to this incompetent organization until all of their books are open to the worlds general public and those responsible for their failures, misconceptions and corruption are prosecuted. The United States is so much better capable of providing direct aid to country’s in need on their own, which has been demonstrated over and over again.

      Hmmm, let’s see. The U.N. sending monitors for a U. S. Election. Meaningless, worthless, and once again, wasting the worlds citizens money, the only kind of act the U. N. is good at.

      Citizens of the world, wouldn’t you prefer money your governments waste by giving it to the U. N. be used within your own countries, helping your own citizens, feeding your own poor, putting your own people back to work and providing aid to those countries that you truly believe are in need vs giving that money to a wasteful, corrupt, incompetent organization called the U. N.?

      Though it’s a touchy subject…Even NATO seems to be falling apart, as it’s countries are progressing to the whims of Communism, in which it was originally formed to stand against.

If the intel they received from torture was any good he would have been dead YEARS prior to when he was actually killed. The intelligence that helped us get Bin Laden came from a friendly that we’re leaving to rot in Pakistan.

      I don’t have any use or respect for the UN and have been following their failed policies and practices for many years now in many countries.
      When the going gets to rough in many countries the UN pulls up stakes and leaves the people to their fates and often deadly. And they want to get on us about torture?? They don’t even make good nonsense.

      We do not need the UN interfering in our elections…nor our Constitution. We also do not need to be lowering our standards to International Standards…that is several steps down from what most Americans Believe.

      The UN is trying to get over on uninformed Americans with their Agenda 21 plans and many cities and townships have signed on only to change their minds and throw it out when they fully began to figure out what it actually entails for them an Americans.

      Agenda 21 is a way of privily sneaking in the back door with methods and practices which are against most of what Americans believe but are in line with so called International methods.

      To sneak in privily without most Americans even being aware of it or what is involved. To sell the very heart and soul of all that is America and replace it with International beliefs and practices.

      International law and beliefs are a con job on Americans. International law is a return to feudal systems of which American separated over 200 years ago…where outsiders determine our future for is ..not we ourselves.

      Be Warned of this fraud of International Law.

      @Dora and Soy, the problem with the 2 of you is neither one of you listen and comprehend very well. Romney said he will appeal Obamacare and the replace it part, is to leave it up to each individual State and let them decide if they want a mandated Health Care Plan where the voters make the decision if they want it or not, just like they did in MA. Romney has also said that he would open up the market by allowing businesses or individuals to shop for Health Insurance across State borders. This will lower the cost of insurance because company’s and individuals will have more choices to choose from and will choose whoever has the lowest premiums, which will cause others to lower their premiums in order to stay competitive. This means that smaller businesses who can’t afford to offer Health Insurance to their employee’s, now can.

And during that crises all they wanted was an apology for the 50′s that we refused to give despite admitting to what we did years later. Now the bat crap crazy zealot leaders we have there today, probably wouldn’t be there if we didn’t meddle in their internal affairs to begin with.

      Neither, I’m not a binary twit. They both suck equally. Romney is a tad worse on foreign policy which isn’t saying much considering what a d**k Obama is on the matter. They are both Federal Reserve loving central planners. Meaning neither has a clue and neither has ANY interest in restoring our freedoms AT ALL. Romney is slightly better on regulatory and energy policy if you believe he won’t change his mind. That being said, that’s small potatoes and will surely be offset by another war. They share the view of constitutionalism, and economic theory. They’re even backed by the same Banks. There is absolutely NO substantial difference between the global elites’ puppets. The one thing you have to consider is Romney would probably be able to get a gun ban and cap and trade through whereas Obama has met stiff bipartisan resistance. It’s nothing more than a show like the WWF. I mean Obama isn’t any different than Bush and Bush wasn’t any different than Clinton and Clinton wasn’t any different than Bush. NOTHING is changing for the good with our two party (hardly) system.

      We have the largest and best equipped military in the world. TOTUS wants to gut it and Romney wants to expand it. Anyone ask why? Just as TOTUS, Romney believes in NDAA, CISPA and drones both or foreign and domestic use.

      What would the people of this country do if Mexico decided to start using drones in US territory to go after drug cartel members? They too could use the same argument in favor of collateral damage.

      I would suggest we throw a party there. We put up lavish decorations, have a 30,000 a plate caterer parked out back, red carpet rolled out. We call it the “Fundamentally-changed America Gala” we invite the communists, most of congress, the 0 (zero), the lock step media. When they are all comfortable inside we put a lock on the doors, surround the place with razor wire and utilize it as a jail until their trials begin.

      UN is definitely no joke. The UN is the NWO, a serious threat to all that is freedom in the world.

    That piece of (less than) dirt, should be tried for being a foreign agent, just for starters.

      Write your congressmen and ask them why they didn’t cosponsor Ron Paul’s bill to get us out of the UN. Your CFR/Trilateral Commission folks don’t want us out of the UN. If anything this is a Machiavellian rouse to make the people think the globalists are REALLY excited to see Romney in charge. Romney has no respect for natural law or our Constitution,. And those two things are giant buzz kill for the NWO folks. He’s pro cap and trade and gun control. He’s a globalists wet dream. That’s why the CFR media picked him and blacked out the guy who advocated strongly for our sovereignty.

      Look under “foreign Policy” and then “international organizations”. Makes you wonder about all those people on this site who claim Ron Paul did nothing good in Congress

      From the link……”Americans deserve to know how their representatives stand on the critical issue of American sovereignty.” – Ron Paul

      “The Trilateral Commission is international and is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power – political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical.” ~ Barry Goldwater
