US President Donald Trump speaks with reporters before departing on Marine One from the South Lawn of the White House, March 11, 2026, in Washington
A UNITED NATIONS-backed panel of independent experts focusing on racial discrimination has blamed racist hate speech by President Donald Trump and other US political leaders, along with a crackdown on immigration, for causing “grave human rights violations.”
The Geneva-based Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination published its decision on Wednesday, urging US authorities to suspend immigration enforcement operations at and near schools, hospitals and faith-based institutions.
Made under the committee’s early warning protocol, the decision is not legally binding but seeks to hold the country to its own international commitments.
The committee said it also was “deeply disturbed” by the use of derogatory and dehumanising language in reference to migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers.
Committee members attributed a reported rise in racial discrimination to “racist hate speech” targeting those groups, but they did not point to any specific data.
Besides speech, there is also concern about the impact of politicians and other public figures weaponising stereotypes to incite hate crimes and discrimination.
“Portraying them as criminals or as a burden, by politicians and influential public figures at the highest level, particularly the president,” the committee said in a news release, “may incite racial discrimination and hate crimes.”
Mr Trump has been in office when the UN condemned systemic racism, hate and discrimination, as were former presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
But the panel this time specifically cited the current president’s speech as part of the problem. It did not criticise Mr Biden or Mr Obama for their rhetoric.

“He’s a white supremacist,” said one critic. “He doesn’t hide it.”
US President Donald Trump was accused Friday of espousing white supremacist ideology after he blamed the “genetics” of Muslim immigrants who commit crimes like Thursday’s assault on a Michigan synagogue, while calling for their exclusion from the United States.
“Well, it’s been going on for a long time. It’s a disgrace. They’re sick, they’re really demented people,” Trump said during a call-in interview with Fox News Radio host Brian Kilmeade. “They come into the country, they sneak in.”
Trump was responding to a question about recent attacks by people who happen to be Muslims, including Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, who was stabbed to death by a cadet at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia after fatally shooting instructor Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, and Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, who was shot dead by security guards at the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan after crashing his vehicle into the building.
Remember when people said we were crazy when we called him a Nazi haha https://t.co/9U9kadegOH
Neither Jalloh nor Ghazali “snuck” into the country. Both were naturalized US citizens. Jalloh, originally from Sierra Leone, was a former National Guardsman. Ghazali had recently lost two of his brothers and other relatives to an Israeli airstrike in his native Lebanon.
“They’re sick people, and a lot of them were let in here. They shouldn’t have been let in,” Trump told Kilmeade. “Others are just bad. They go bad. Something wrong—there’s something wrong there. The genetics are not exactly, they’re not exactly your genetics.”
Trump has made many racist statements and has occasionally invoked what critics say is the language of eugenics, a debunked pseudoscience embraced by many white supremacists. He has also boasted about his own “much better blood.”
While running for reelection, Trump echoed Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler’s screed against “poisoning” by an “influx of foreign blood,” declaring during a December 2023 campaign rally in New Hampshire that undocumented immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of the country.
“Trump is an old-school eugenicist nativist. He actually is fine with immigrants as long as they have the right ‘genes,’” said David J. Bier, director of immigration studies at the libertarian Cato Institute, in response to Friday’s interview. “This argument was the basis of the creation of the restrictive US immigration system 100 years ago.”
Trump has previously said that he wants more immigrants from countries like Norway and not from what he called “shithole” nations in the Global South. His second administration has effectively ended refugee admissions—with the notable exception of white South Africans, the only people in the world allowed into the United States as refugees since last October, according to US Department of State data.
Progressive journalist Alex Cole said on X: “Imagine being the grandson of immigrants—who dyes his hair, paints his face orange, and wears lifts—lecturing the country about ‘genetics.’ The irony writes itself.”
Trump’s political rise began with his promotion of the racist “birther” conspiracy theory falsely positing that then-President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. He launched his 2016 presidential campaign by calling Mexican immigrants “rapists.”
Once in office, Trump enacted a series of restrictions and outright bans on immigration from nations with Muslim majorities.
“He’s a white supremacist,” journalist Mehdi Hasan wrote Friday on X. “He doesn’t hide it.”

The agency demanded that all parties protect civilians and reiterated the secretary-general’s call “to end the fighting and engage in diplomatic negotiations.”
Since the United States and Israel launched an unprovoked war on Iran at the end of February, more than 1,100 youth have been killed or injured in related violence across the Middle East, the United Nations Children’s Fund said Wednesday, calling for a swift diplomatic resolution.
“The situation is becoming catastrophic for millions of children across the region,” UNICEF said in a statement, noting that at least 200 children are reportedly dead in Iran, 91 in Lebanon, four in Israel, and one in Kuwait. “These numbers will likely climb as the violence intensifies and spreads.”
Most of the kids killed in Iran died in what mounting evidence suggests was a US attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab on February 28. That attack killed an estimated 175 people, mostly students ages 7-12, part of an overall death toll that the Iranian government has said exceeds 1,300.
Responding to the school bombing, Gordon Brown, a former UK prime minister who’s now the UN special envoy for global education, argued in a Guardian opinion piece Thursday that “the world will now need stronger mechanisms to ensure accountability,” such as a body complementing the International Criminal Court but specifically for children, “focusing its attention on the bombing of schools, abductions of pupils, and militias that enslave boys and girls.”
With the widening conflict in the Middle East, UNICEF noted Wednesday, “widespread disruption to education has left millions of children out of school across the region, while hundreds of thousands of children have been displaced by unrelenting bombardment.”
In Lebanon, where Israeli attacks are allegedly targeting the Lebanese political and paramilitary group Hezbollah despite a November 2024 ceasefire deal, nearly 800,000 people, including around 200,000 children, have been forced from their homes, according to Mercy Corps. The Lebanese government has said at least 570 people have been killed and 1,444 injured.
“Civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and water and sanitation systems—upon which children depend to survive—have been attacked, damaged, or destroyed by parties to the conflict,” UNICEF said. “Nothing justifies the killing and maiming of children, or the destruction and disruption of essential services that children depend on.”
“Grave violations against children in armed conflict can constitute violations of international law, including international humanitarian law, and international human rights law,” the UN agency continued.
Across Iran, several United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage sites have also been damaged by the US-Israeli war, which experts worldwide argue violates both the US Constitution and UN Charter.

The UN Security Council, which is currently led by President Donald Trump’s administration, on Wednesday adopted a resolution condemning Iran’s retaliatory attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan—nations that host US military bases—without even mentioning the US-Israeli bombing campaign.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres last Friday demanded a return to negotiations. Trump, who abandoned a previous Iranian nuclear deal during his first term, ditched recent talks with Iran in favor of bombing the country with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—who has used war on Iran to again close crossings into the Gaza Strip, or as critics have put it, reinstate a “starvation policy” in the Palestinian territory devastated by Israel’s 29-month genocidal assault.
In addition to reiterating “the secretary-general’s call on parties to the conflict to end the fighting and engage in diplomatic negotiations,” UNICEF on Wednesday urged everyone involved “to take all necessary precautions in the choice of means and methods of warfare to minimize harm to civilians, including by avoiding the use of explosive weapons that disproportionally affect children.”
“The region’s children—all 200 million of them—are counting on the world to act quickly,” the agency concluded.
A Wednesday letter signed by every member of the US Senate Democratic Caucus but Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.)—who previously helpedRepublicans block a war powers resolution intended to halt Trump’s assault on Iran—called for a probe of the Minab school attack and sounded the alarm about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s rhetoric that “only serves to endanger civilians.”
Specifically, Hegseth has said that the US assault on Iran, which they’re calling Operation Epic Fury, would have “no stupid rules of engagement,” and there will be “death and destruction from the sky all day long.”

IRAN launched fresh waves of strikes at Israel and US and energy assets in the Gulf states today as it continued to retaliate against devastating US and Israeli air raids.
Sirens warned of incoming missiles in Dubai and in Bahrain, authorities said an Iranian attack hit a residential building in the capital, killing a woman and wounding eight others.
Saudi Arabia said it destroyed two drones over its oil-rich eastern region and Kuwait’s National Guard said it shot down six drones.
Later in the morning sounds of explosions could be heard in Tel Aviv.
“We are definitely not looking for a ceasefire,” Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf wrote on X.
“We believe that the aggressor should be punched in the mouth so that he learns a lesson so that he will never think of attacking our beloved Iran again.”

Since the Gorton and Denton victory, I have travelled the UK and seen the energy that result unleashed. More will follow
This week, I sat in the gallery of the House of Commons and watched a historic moment unfold: Hannah Spencer was sworn in as the MP for Gorton and Denton, making her the first female plumber to sit in parliament, and the first ever Green MP in the north of England.
It marked the start of a new era: for Gorton and Denton, for the Green party and for British politics across the board. It’s not hyperbole to say that our win – in a seat that was 127th on our target list – has changed everything.
A major poll this week proves this, showing that people intend to vote Green at the next election in higher numbers than ever. We have leapfrogged Labour in the polls and are nipping at Reform UK’s heels – because people can see that we are the only party genuinely taking the fight to Reform and spelling out clearly how we’ll end rip-off Britain.
…
We’ll lower bills by bringing water into public ownership and ending shareholder profiteering. We’ll tackle inflation and the cost of living at the same time with sensible measures such as rent controls. And by taxing the wealth of the super-rich fairly, we can ensure that money flows through our economy rather than being hoarded in assets or offshore accounts.
These are popular, commonsense ideas. For a long time, voters have enthusiastically backed the Green party’s policies – but have often stopped short of supporting us at the ballot box, afraid to “waste” their vote. We saw that change in Gorton and Denton – and that result unlocked a new level of confidence for potential Green voters that they can truly vote for what they want and get it.
