GENEVA (Associated Press) --
Arizona's new law on illegal immigration could violate international standards that are binding in the United States, six U.N. human rights experts said Tuesday.
The basic human rights regulations, signed by the U.S. and many other nations, relate to issues such as discrimination and the terms under which a person can be detained, the experts said.
"A disturbing pattern of legislative activity hostile to ethnic minorities and immigrants has been established with the adoption of an immigration law that may allow for police action targeting individuals on the basis of their perceived ethnic origin," the experts said.

Arizona's new sweeping law targeting illegal immigration has provisions that include requiring police enforcing another law to question a person about his or her immigration status, if there is "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the United States illegally. It also makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally.
In America, critics have said the law violates the U.S. Constitution's provisions against unreasonable search and seizure and will result in racial profiling of Hispanics. Supporters deny that and say the law will pressure illegal immigrants to leave the country on their own.
In their statement, the six U.N. experts said: "States are required to respect and ensure the human rights of all persons subject to their jurisdiction, without discrimination.
"Relevant international standards require that detention be used only as an exceptional measure, justified, narrowly tailored and proportional in each individual case, and that it be subject to judicial review," the experts said.
The law could result in potential discrimination against Mexicans, indigenous peoples and other minorities in Arizona, the U.N. officials said.
"If the Arizona law violates international standards, then so does the federal law upon which it is based," said Paul Senseman, a spokesman for Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the bill April 23.
The UN experts also said they are concerned about the enactment of a law prohibiting Arizona school programs featuring the histories and cultures of ethnic minorities because everyone has the right to learn about his own cultural and linguistic heritage.
The six U.N. human rights experts, who are unpaid, are:
_Jorge Bustamante of Mexico, special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants.
_Githu Muigai of Kenya, special rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.
_James Anaya of the United States, special rapporteur on the situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous people.
_Farida Shaheed of Pakistan, independent expert in the field of cultural rights.
_Vernor Munos Villalobos of Costa Rica, special rapporteur on the right to education.
_Gay McDougall of the United States, independent expert on minority issues.

They're just the U.N. They don't matter in the general sense, and they matter even less when it comes to the US protecting it's sovereignty.

This is starting to get old.

"The UN experts also said they are concerned about the enactment of a law prohibiting Arizona school programs featuring the histories and cultures of ethnic minorities because everyone has the right to learn about his own cultural and linguistic heritage."

Sure they do. But it is not the responsibility of this country to teach them the cultural and linguistic heritage of their country. The flipside of this would be the same cry babies b*tching that a WHITE MAN is teaching about Mexican heritage or a LATIN AMERICAN is teaching about African American cultural and linguistic heritage.

Get a f*cking hobby. Lift weights. Read some fiction. Find something more constructive to do with your f*cking time.

I want my Caucasian cultural and linguistic heritage taught, NOW! Don't give me that English and German jibba jabba, teach me about my mythical homeland of Caucasia. I'll wait...

"It also makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally"

Imagine that... it is going to be a crime to be here ILLEGALLY.

What the hell did illegal mean before this?

The education bill also doesn't say they won't learn about their heritage. It puts an end to SEGREGATED classes. There are Mexican Heritage classes that only Mexican students are allowed to go to.

If you want to promote hatred and racism, I can't think of a better way than to separate the school into separate racial groups and have American history taught to them with from the point of that racial group.

This bill is putting and end to that and people bitch and complain... are they nuts?

even my home country China views the UNited Nations with disdain and contempt

No one said ANYTHING about stopping classes that teach cultural heritage. Only stopping the segregation of the student body. ALL classes at a public school should be open to ALL children, as ALL the parents pay the taxes that pay for the schools!

Segregation of black and white classes was wrong then, and segregating classes of of white/black/hispanic kids is wrong today.

At least in public schools. If you want your child to learn in an environment different from that of the public school, or want some sort of specialized education for them...enroll them in a private school that follows your moral compass.

The UN---UUHHHHNNNN--- reminds me of the Nothing from Never Ending Story...

As Patriotic Pete stands fortifiying his border against the overwhelming onslaught of Leaping Beans....the UN slowly rolls over the horizon, seeming to cataract in a glaucous blur, then everyone realizes most of it is illusion of mirage.....and Patriotic Pete turns back to his task at hand...
