Will The United Nations Charge Obama With Human Rights Crimes Over Osama Bin Ladin's Death?

The United Nation's human rights council wants information about the death of Osama Bin Ladin. One thing stands out in the mix. Osama Bin Laden is being reported as living a peaceful existence with his family in Pakistan and had no weapons in him when he was killed. One has to wonder how the crazies over at the United Nations are going to interpret that compared to Obama's orders.

Reuters Reports:

The United Nations' top human rights official called on the United States on Tuesday to give the U.N. details about Osama bin Laden's killing and said that all counter-terrorism operations must respect international law.

But Navi Pillay, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, said that the al Qaeda leader, killed in a U.S. operation in Pakistan, had committed crimes against humanity as self-confessed mastermind of "the most appalling acts of terrorism", including the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on America.

It was always clear that taking bin Laden alive was likely to be difficult, she said, noting that U.S. authorities had stated that they intended to arrest him if possible.

"This was a complex operation and it would be helpful if we knew the precise facts surrounding his killing. The United Nations has consistently emphasised that all counter-terrorism acts must respect international law," Pillay said in a statement issued in response to a Reuters request.

So once again, conflicting stories are being told. The UN got the story the US authorities said orders were given to arrest Bin Laden if possible, but a report yesterday said the orders Obama issued were to kill Osama Bin Laden. This is going to be interesting to watch play out as so much information is contradicting what we were first told after it was announced Osama was dead.
