Independent Commission Calls U.S. Police Killing of Blacks Crimes Against Humanity, But Lacks Enforcement Authority
On 5/3/21 at 6:00 AM EDT
An independent commission announced its findings on April 27 with the publication of a detailed report that alleges the existence of systemic racism inherent in police violence against Black Americans, which they argue constitutes crimes against humanity.
Although the commission has no enforcement authority, it made specific referrals to the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC), the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government and the U.S. Congress, among others.
In the U.S., the referrals included a call for reparations, action to review and retool existing law enforcement policies, and passage of legislation to hold law enforcement officers accountable when Black individuals die as a result of their encounters with police.
“We can stand on the sidelines and wring our hands. . Or we can . mobilize the international community.”
Lennox Hinds, international human rights attorney
“We can stand on the sidelines and wring our hands. We can decide to do nothing and say it is helpless,” said international human rights attorney Lennox Hinds, who coordinated the effort. “Or we can do what we are doing here, which is to mobilize the international community.”
The 12 commission members are high-profile human rights activists and lawyers who hail from around the world. They held virtual hearings into the cases of 43 Black people killed by police since 2000. Their 188-page report finds that the US has two systems of justice one for white people and another for Black people. It says the US has tolerated a racist pattern of disproportionate force against African Americans, including unreasonable searches and seizures, and the excessive use of firearms and tasers.
2020/21 Reporting Season: the biggest challenges for auditors 14 December 2020: Auditors are facing a perfect storm of standards and uncertainty this reporting season, from remote auditing to going concern.
The 2020/21 reporting season will be challenging for auditors for several reasons. First, there is the uncertainty created by the pandemic, then the potential impacts of Brexit. After that, you have new standards dealing with the audit of accounting estimates and going concern, at a time when there is a material uncertainty around the latter. “It’s a perfect storm,” says Peter Herbert of Insight Training, who recently ran an ICAEW webinar on issues for auditors in 20/21 reporting.
