U.N. Commissioner Calls for Probe of Trayvon Martin Killing 
------------------------------------------------------------



The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, has
called for an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding
the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Pillay said she was shocked
the gunman, George Zimmerman, was not arrested. She also expressed
concern about Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, which allows the use of
deadly force in situations where there is a belief of a threat.
