UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called on the US authorities to exercise restraint and investigate allegations of police brutality.
A spokesman for Secretary-General Guterres said the protests should be peaceful, with cases of police violence in recent days, and that police officers around the world should be trained in human rights.
The spokesman said the UN Secretary-General was also concerned about police attacks on journalists during the protests, an attack on a journalist was an attack on society and no democracy could function without media freedom.
