U.N unleashes its most fearsome weapon, the dreaded sternly-worded letter, in 3… 2… 1…

‘DETROIT (WWJ/AP) – Two United Nations human rights experts in Detroit to observe the impact of water service shutoffs on city residents are expected to publicly discuss their visit.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and City Council are expected to meet with the UN experts Monday before a news conference in downtown Detroit.

Special rapporteur on the right to adequate housing Leilani Farha and special rapporteur on the human right to water and sanitation Catarina de Albuquerque were to informally stop by neighborhoods over the weekend where water has been shut off.

They’ve already heard from people who’ve lost service because they haven’t paid their bills. Several hundred Detroiters turned out yesterday for a public hearing on the shut offs.
