Jesse Jackson called for an investigation into Trayvon Martin&#8217;s death the the United Nations Human Rights Commission. He hints that the self-defense shooting of Martin may have been a violation of international law.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>We need a national investigation of the racial context that led to Trayvon Martin\u2019s slaying. Congress must act. <b>And it\u2019s time to call on the United Nations Human Rights Commission for an in-depth investigation of whether the U.S. is upholding its obligations under international human rights laws and treaties.<\/b> Trayvon Martin\u2019s death demands much more than a jury\u2019s verdict on George Zimmerman. It calls for us to hear the evidence and render a verdict on the racial reality that never had its day in court at the trial.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Huh?<\/p>\n<p>The sad reality is that the UN is more likely to &#8220;investigate&#8221; this that than state-sponsored atrocities happening around the world. <\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an op-ed published yesterday in the Chicago Sun-Times, the Rev.
