UNITED NATIONS — The United States on Tuesday demanded the sacking of a UN human rights expert for “noxious” comments claiming there had been a US cover-up over the September 11 attacks.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned the comments by Richard Falk, UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, as “an affront” to the victims of the 2001 Al-Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington.
The US ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, called Falk’s views “despicable and deeply offensive” and said she had registered a protest and called for his dismissal.
