Yeah yeah, bore us with your tripe. Maybe they need this in Spain, but we don't need no stinkin' UN official noseying around in our business. We have plenty of our own liberals that we elected to do that.Why is this in breaking news? At best it should be News 2.0. A blog like thing with a youtube link is hardly mainstream media.
Fact, the person in question has been doing this job since 2008 all around the world. The position has been in place for a very very long time. Her job is pretty simple, namely to investigate, monitor and recommend solutions to human rights problems within her mandated area. And in this case on adequate housing. So it is basically a fact finding mission in New York to see the good and bad of the US housing market and to see if it can be improved or/and if possible human rights violations are occurring... note the possible. From this she gathers experience that she will pass on to other nations when she visits them. She has done this in many countries around the world including many western countries. Hey, who knows, maybe the New York officials might learn a thing or two from her experience.
There is nothing sinister about it, but you would not know that if you trusted the OP source would you.. Things like this is done all the time. US congressmen go on fact finding missions to other countries and we rarely hear a peep about it now do we?
