The UN and the Muslim religion support slavery.


While Islam appears to at least tolerate slavery, the United Nations
technically does not support slavery:

"Adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) of 10
December 1948
....
Article 4.
No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade
shall be prohibited in all their forms.
...."
http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html

The UN has of course been somewhat impotent in doing much about slavery,
but it has been impotent in addressing many other matters also. Hard to see
how impotence becomes "support". My local police are impotent against lots
of robberies - I'd hardly translate that impotence into a statement
claiming the police support robbery.

For other material from the UN that indicates it at least tracks and
understands the extent of slavery, see also:
