The United Nations is Caught in the Middle of Snowden Issue: Email Sent By NISSAN Whistleblower Asking for the UN to Step In on Asylum Snowden Issue.

Bloomberg-5 hours ago
A majority of U.S. registered voters consider Edward Snowden a whistle-blower, not a traitor,
The United Nations MUST take a lead on the Snowden issue and also the International Court MUST take the lead on the Lockerbie issue.
Everyone in the world NOT proven guilty of a crime should be allowed asylum.....
A UN hating Neocon told me that the UN is digging it's own grave... I thought I 'd have the courage and character to tell you directly.
The United Nations is caught in the middle of Snowden Issue:
The fact is Edward Snowden is supported in America by the idealistic demographic in America that believes in their hearts the United Nations is an organization that needs to exist & have financial support from America.
The people that have BASHED the United Nations Are using the UN's response to the Snowden issue as a tool to "Bring Snowden Down" ...
Then they'll bring down the United Nations.
The people in America that believed in the goodness of the United Nations Will NOT stand up for the United Nations Based on their Snowden Apathy.
It's time for the United Nations to show it's "got balls".....
Good Luck and God Speed,

A poem written by Martin Niemoller, relating to how Germans tolerate Adolf Hitler is especially suitable to most Americans & the world today:
First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.Then they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me.
No person is perfect and Edward Snowden made some mistakes BUT his work did a LOT of good. A dialogue has been started. if people that speak up for what is morally right & they do so with humanity & respect for all people as their "main" motive - How can the United Nations NOT help them?
"I don't want to live in a world where everything that I say, everything I do, everyone I talk to, every expression of creativity, love or friendship is recorded," The Miami Herald extracted from an Edward Snowden interview with the Guardian
Snowden has said the activities are illegal and violate international agreements.
One of the revelations of the documents leaked by Snowden was that the US National Security Agency spied on the offices of the European Union inside the UN building in New York. Asked about the snooping at the UN, Ban told reporters that the inviolability of diplomatic missions was sacrosanct under international law.
"I hope this will be resolved through dialogue so that the case will not affect existing friendly, cooperative relationships among the parties concerned."
The UN claims in its own internal procedures to respect and protect the rights of whistleblowers. In a statement posted on the website of the UN's ethics office, Ban writes: "Our Organization will not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports misconduct or participates in an audit or internal investigation."
But the UN's ethics office was last year criticised by the international organisation's own internal dispute tribunal as having a "fundamentally flawed" mechanism for dealing with whistleblowers. The ruling was issued in a case brought by a former UN employee against the secretary-general.
The tribunal found that the UN had failed to protect the basic rights of the employee who was sacked and detained by UN police after he sounded the alarm over corruption in the UN mission in Kosovo. Freedom of information groups have accused the UN of tolerating a culture of impunity in its treatment of whistleblowers.
The United Nations chief has said that the grounding of the Bolivian president's plane in Vienna on suspicion that NSA leaker Edward Snowden was aboard was “unfortunate”.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said on Tuesday that “it was important to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.''... “A head of state and his or her aircraft enjoy immunity and inviolability.''
