On Thursday, The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about a judge who is listed as a fellow in Columbia University’s human rights program. The judge seems to have a limited understanding of human rights.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A British jury convicted United Nations Judge Lydia Mugambe on Thursday of forcing a Ugandan woman into domestic servitude after luring her to the U.K. under false pretenses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mugambe, who also serves as a high court judge in Uganda, brought the victim to Britain under the guise of securing her a job in a diplomatic household \u2014 only to make her work as an unpaid maid and nanny. She confiscated the victim\u2019s passport and visa, leaving her trapped until she was able to contact a friend, who alerted authorities, according to a Thames Valley Police statement<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLydia Mugambe used her position to exploit a vulnerable young woman, controlling her freedom and making her work without payment,\u201d Eran Clutliffe, an attorney for the Crown Prosecution Service\u2019s Special Crime Division, said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 49-year-old judge, who was studying for a doctorate at the University of Oxford at the time, according<\/a> to her profile on the U.N.\u2019s website, was found guilty on four charges, including forced labor, an immigration offense and conspiracy to intimidate a witness. Mugambe is also listed on Columbia University\u2019s website<\/a> as a fellow in their human rights program. Prosecutors argued she \u201cexploited and abused\u201d the victim\u2019s lack of knowledge about her rights to keep her in a state of servitude.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mugambe leveraged her connections within the Ugandan High Commission in London to secure a visa for the victim, presenting it as an official employment opportunity, according to court testimony. Instead of placing the woman in a diplomatic household, however, Mugambe brought her to her private residence and forced her to work without pay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Mugambe, who was appointed to a U.N. international court in May 2023, denied all charges. She is scheduled for sentencing May 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A United Nations judge guilty of having a slave. Wow! It really is time to get America out of the United Nations and get the United Nations out of America.<\/p>\n

Speaking of hypocrisy at the United Nations, the United Nations has also appointed Saudi Arabia as the head of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69). I understand that the government of Saudi Arabia is moving to expand the rights of women in their country, but making Saudi Arabia the head of a commission on the status of women is like asking a fox to design a hen house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
