The UN's high commissioner for human rights, Navi Pillay, expressed

In a statement, Pillay expressed concern over the draft constitution's failure to protect certain civil and political rights and forbid torture and racial or gender discrimination.

She also said
the consitution allows for a concentration of power for Morsi, something
that could be disastrous for a supposedly democratic country.
This is the third time this week that the UN has expressed concern over the human rights condition in Egypt.
