Good for the UN, for once being on the right side of things.

U.S. flouts law at Guantanamo, despite Obama vow: U.N.
The United States is still flouting international law at Guantanamo Bay, despite President Barack Obama's election pledge to shut the facility, the United Nations human rights chief Navi Pillay said on Monday.

"It is ten years since the U.S. Government opened the prison at Guantanamo, and now three years since 22 January 2009, when the President ordered its closure within twelve months. Yet the facility continues to exist and individuals remain arbitrarily detained - indefinitely - in clear breach of international law," Pillay said in a statement.


Don't worry UN, you are not alone in despising Obama.

Obama likes to please, so with the current influx of detainment laws, the US will still need a place to chat to people.

I could see a similar place to "enhance interrogate" build on one of the Florida Keys, some where like that.

There will always be a "Gitmo" , that you can bank on.

Since when does 1 cancel out the other? And they probably did "slam" the parties involved in Rwanda - it just didn't make news, because who cares right? Just like who cares about the justice or lack thereof involved in Guantanamo Bay when American pride is on the line. - Rather than getting indignant about the UN's opinion - Americans should focus on addressing it's disgraces.

If I remember correctly, Obama signed a bill or something that said he would close down Guantanamo Bay in less than one year, and it's been much longer than that. So basically, he's a liar, which isn't really a suprise.

I was being very sarcastic, actually.

Sorry, if you didnt notice that.

If we are going to talk about "failures" can we at least list the UN's also?

Not giving Obama a pass,by any means,trust me................................


For the UN to slam ANYONE in itself, is a farce.

It's a flawed mid-20th century institution constituted by early-19th century entities - what do you expect, lol - no offense.

I like to smile when I see countries use the UN to rage against America. The UN exist for one reason. So that America and her business partners (or.. allies, whatever) can stand up and pretend to be morally obligated to invade a country or place sanctions. If it has nothing to do with our interest, it doesn't matter, and if it's not something we started, it serves no purpose. Hate away UN .. you're just a tool of our desires.
