Excuse me? Reparations? You have to wonder how an organization such as the UN was allowed to fall so low over the years.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Although local, state and federal inquiries have been underway for weeks, Pillay called for \u201can immediate investigation\u201d into the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJustice must be done for the victim,\u201d she told a media briefing in Hastings, on the southern end of the Caribbean island [of Barbados]. \u201cIt\u2019s not just this individual case, it calls into question the delivery of justice in all situations like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this particular case it was the family itself, their distress that became known to the general public \u2013 once again people pressure that has drawn attention to this case. It shouldn\u2019t be so,\u201d Pillay continued. \u201cThe law should operate equally in respect of all violations. So, like every other situation such as this, we will be urging an investigation, and prosecution and trial \u2013 <b>and of course reparation for the victims concerned.<\/b>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pillay, a South African jurist, was appointed U.N. rights chief in 2008 and is based in Geneva, at the home of the U.N. Human Rights Council.  She is a former judge at the International Criminal Court and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/newsevents\/pages\/newhc.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to her official bio<\/a> she has masters and doctorate degrees from Harvard University in human rights and international law. I&#8217;m sure Harvard is very proud of her but one does have to wonder just exactly what she learned in Cambridge.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay has now weighed in on the Trayvon Martin cases&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[403,2960,1926],"class_list":["post-3373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-stupidity","tag-trayvon-martin-case","tag-united-nations"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3373"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3373\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7891,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3373\/revisions\/7891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
