The United Nations special rapporteur on human rights and fundamental rights of indigenous peoples, James J. Lenoir Anaya, will arrive in Lima tomorrow (Tuesday).

Acording to Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Garcia Belaunde, the United Nations official will visit Peru at the Government’s invitation, after a series of violent clashes in the Amazonian town of Bagua.

Lenoir Anaya, who is a professor of Human Rights Law and Policy at the University of Arizona, had previously expressed his deep concern over the clashes that left 33 dead (24 policemen and 9 civilians) in the town of Bagua.

He was appointed to his actual position in March 2008, for an initial period of three years.

The UN is about as useful as a condom vending machine in the Vatican.  Think Ruwanda, Darfor, etc., etc., etc.
