God, how I wish the Philippines would really go through and leave.

The UN needs to die.

It's already dead and now just playing a role as a zombie. Any brains the UN had have been eaten.

Which goes a long way to explaining Trudeau and the Liberals affection for them.

Didn't he call for the murder of straight up every drug user, no specific preference for "traffickers"?

Tyrannical nonsense.

To be fair, they would have to ask the 20 or so countries that still carry out the death penalty every year to stop too... including the USA and China.

They have due process, or at least the pretense of it.
And they should call them out on it too.

Just like most of us should call out this moronic anti-UN sentiment.

You mean the Phillipines is executing drug dealers after they've been found guilty in a fair trial? I would doubt that UN would complain about that. I thought these were extra judicial killings.

I'm against the death penalty, but if a country has it and applies it after a fair trial, well, don't do the crime. But if other countries with death penalties have the rampant miscarriages of justice we see in the US, then that's not a fair trial.

Two UN human rights experts last week urged Manila to stop the extra-judicial executions and killings that have escalated since Duterte won the presidency on a promise to wipe out drugs.

Duterte - I didn't say I'd wipe out drugs, I said I'd wipe out drug dealers.

The LA Times is calling him "Asia's Donald Trump."

“If you're still into drugs, I will kill you, don't take this as a joke. I'm not trying to make you laugh, son of a bitch, I will really kill you,” Duterte said to loud jeers and applause.

The UN's version of everything.
