UN human rights chief Navi Pillay on Thursday called for "a full disclosure of the accurate facts" to determine the legality of the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. "I'm still for a full disclosure of the accurate facts," Pillay told reporters in Oslo.
"I think it's not just my office but anybody is entitled to know exactly what happened," she added. Pillay's declarations come a day after US Attorney General Eric Holder told a Senate hearing the raid during which bin Laden was killed "was lawful and consistent with our values." "The United Nations condemns terrorism but it also has basic rules of how counter-terrorism activity has to be carried out. It has to be in compliance with international law," she said. "For instance, you're not allowed (...) to commit torture or extra-judicial killings," she explained.
