During a Wednesday briefing, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, the human rights chief of the United Nations, warned that a Trump presidency could be, “dangerous from an international point of view." 
Zeid commented, “Clearly I am not keen or intent on interfering in any political campaign…but where the comments point to a potential…for an increase in…the use of torture…or the focus on vulnerable communities in a way that suggests that they may well be deprived of their rights, their human rights, then I think it is incumbent to say so.”
The Los Angeles Times reports that he further characterized Trump’s proposed use of torture as, “deeply unsettling and disturbing.”
