I am opposed to the UN,
and always will be,
because the worst countries in the world
- the worst dictators and human rights abusers
- are members of the UN and have a vote.
The enemies of my freedom and my world have a vote.
Why should I respect such an organisation?
I do not.
This is not a happy, imaginary world where
all nations are respectable,
and the UN can deal with the rare outbreaks of lawlessness.
Rather,
this is - as it always has been - a world where
criminals run entire countries,
where many nation states are headed by unelected dictators, tyrants,
racists,
hate-filled religious fanatics,
communist fanatics
and all-out genocidal killers.
Many "ambassadors"
represent thugs with Swiss bank accounts,
not the people of their country.
By giving these unelected thugs a vote,
the UN loses all credibility.
No intelligent person should
support the UN,
or respect what it says,
or abide by what it says.
The UN should be shut down,
or at the very least all non-democracies should be expelled.
The idea that the UN has moral authority I find sick.

I cannot respect anybody who respects the UN.
If there is to be a global policeman,
it should grow out of something like NATO,
which at least roughly
represents the democracies
and the countries with the best human rights and civil liberties
- rather than the UN,
which represents every thug, junta and oppressive regime there is.
And gives Russia and China a veto.
NATO has moral authority. The UN does not.
Only if all non-democratic countries
(including Russia and China) are expelled
could the UN start to
have any moral authority.
Immanuel Kant and the Iraq war
by Roger Scruton, 19 February 2004,
on Kant's idea of international law.
"Kant is clear that a League of Nations can establish
a genuine rule of law only if its
members are also republics.
...
States in which this command is not obeyed by the rulers
.. are states that violate the moral law.
.. Such states are
intrinsically illegitimate,
which means that their disappearance is good in itself, and the aim and
desire of all rational beings."
A mischievous place
by Ernest W. Lefever, June 28, 2003, on the fantasy, black comedy
and moral bankruptcy of the United Nations,
the successor to the League of
Nations.
- "Neither body played a
discernible role in defeating the most grievous
enemies of freedom and human rights in the 20th
century."
U.N. Should Change - or U.S. Should Quit
by David Frum and Richard Perle, January 23, 2004.
"The United Nations is the tooth fairy of American politics:
Few adults believe in it, but it's generally regarded as a
harmless story to amuse the children. Since 9/11,
however, the U.N. has ceased to be harmless"
The UN, Dec 2011, holds a minute's silence
for the death of the genocidal monster
Kim Jong-il.
(Kim Jong-il ran
concentration camps
and
gas chambers.)
This really sums up the UN.
The UN also held a minute's silence when the democidal monster Stalin died in 1953.
From Irish Times,
7 Mar 1953.
Notice the genuine condolences from the commie-loving
Indian prime minister
Nehru.
Israel is a litmus test for bad politics.
All the worst countries in the world are anti-Israel.
One would expect a depraved body like the UN to be anti-Israel.
And indeed it is so.
No one should of course care what the UN says about Israel (or indeed any issue).
The UN and the Jews
by Anne Bayefsky, February 2004,
notes that
over the past 40 years, almost 30 percent of the resolutions
passed by the UN Commission on Human Rights
to condemn specific states
have been directed at Israel.
No resolution has ever been directed at
the non-democracies of
China, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan or Zimbabwe.
John Dugard, Oct 2007,
compares democracy-hating, human rights-hating,
anti-semitic, Jew-killing Palestinian Islamofascists
to the French resistance against fascism:
"'Inevitably in a military occupation, there are likely to be those engaged in resistance.' These people may be labelled terrorists, Mr Dugard added, but history treats them differently. He cited the example of the French Resistance during World War II, and those in Namibia who fought occupation by South Africa. 'Now,' he said, 'they are in government and treated as heroes.'"
Jews build houses - war crime!
The UN and the left think that the Israeli conflict is about "settlements".
That Jews building houses is the real problem.
Jews building houses
makes a certain type of leftist, journalist and diplomat furious.
The Deadly Israeli House Strikes Again, Daniel Greenfield, 1 Sept 2014, amusingly sums it up.
"Sudan may have built a small mountain of African corpses, but it can't expect to command the full and undivided attention of the world until it does something truly outrageous like building a house and filling it with Jews."
If all unapproved Jew houses were destroyed,
and Jews agreed only to live where they were told,
the war would
end
escalate.
Simple graphic showing how the UN has no credibility.
Incredibly, this graphic is used by
Israel's enemies
to claim there is something wrong with Israel, not with the UN!

From Dan Smith.
The United Nations Population Fund
(UNFPA)
was linked in 2011 to a campaign promoting terrorism against Israel.
UNFPA appeared as a sponsor of
the
"White Hands" campaign
for "womens' rights" (and Islamic terrorism).
This "White Hands" video promotes
the Palestinian terrorist
Dalal Mughrabi.
In response, the UNFPA disassociated itself from the White Hands Campaign.
No, seriously, this is satire.
Though maybe we should check.
From here.

UN official Francesca Albanese
openly comes out in defence of the jihad "resistance" against Israel, 8 Aug 2022.
Richard Falk says Hamas rockets are "cries of help", Nov 2012:
"These rockets do spread fear and cause trauma among Israeli civilians even when no targets are struck, and represent an unacceptable tactic. Yet such unacceptability must be weighed against the unacceptable tactics of an Israel that holds all the cards in the conflict.
It is truly alarming that now even the holiest of cities, Jerusalem, is threatened with attacks, but the continuation of oppressive conditions for the people of Gaza, inevitably leads to increasing levels of frustration, in effect, cries of help that the world has ignored at its peril for decades. These are survival screams! To realise this is not to exaggerate!"
Richard Falk compares Hamas to the French resistance, Jan 2013.
"What are we to do with international law when it is invoked only to control the behaviour of the weaker party?
It gives perspective to imagine the situation being reversed as it was during the Nazi occupation of France or the Netherlands during World War II. Resistance fighters were uniformly perceived in the liberal West as unconditional heroes, and no critical attention was given as to whether the tactics used unduly imperiled innocent civilian lives."
I don't think Hamas "imperils" innocent lives.
Rather they target innocent lives!
That Falk cannot see this, and that the UN still employs him, just shows how depraved the UN really is.
"Should we not all be meditating on W.H. Auden's haunting line: "Those to whom evil is done/do evil in return"?
The American global domination project is bound to generate all kinds of resistance
in the post-colonial world.
In some respects, the United States has been fortunate not to experience worse blowbacks, and these may yet happen
...
America's military prowess and the abiding confidence of its leaders in hard power diplomacy
makes the United States a menace to the world".
So America "did evil" to Chechen
refugee
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
by giving him asylum, safety, prosperity, and a
$2,500 scholarship.
It must expect "resistance" from him.
Richard Falk
in this New York Times piece of
16 Feb 1979
promoted the Islamic Fascist revolution in Iran in 1979
that brought the Ayatollah Khomeini to power,
ended Iranian human rights,
killed tens of thousands,
cleansed most of the Jews of Iran,
and made Iran an oppressive state and promoter of terror which it still is today.
More from Richard Falk's 1979 piece promoting Islamic Fascism for Iran.
Westerners idiotic enough to believe the above are still with us.
The Sudan genocide.
Another genocide of black Africans rages,
and again, the UN does nothing.
Kofi Annan's Legacy of Failure, Nile Gardiner, December 11, 2006.
"Annan's departure from office has not come soon enough. His 10 years in power have been a monumental failure, and he leaves behind an institution whose standing could barely be lower and a legacy that is a testament to mismanagement, corruption, and anti-Americanism.
...
The U.N.'s new Human Rights Council, touted by Annan as a breakthrough for the U.N., is an unmitigated farce".
During the
"Muhammed cartoons" riots of 2006,
as Christian children were burnt alive
by Islamic religious fascists angry about cartoons,
Kofi Annan took the side of the fascists.
He said:
"You don't joke about other people's religion,
and you must respect what is holy for other people."
The new UN Secretary-General,
Ban Ki-moon
of South Korea,
is no better.
Ban Ki-Moon attacks the movie Fitna, Mar 2008.
"I condemn, in the strongest terms, the airing of Geert Wilders' offensively anti-Islamic film.
There is no justification for hate speech or incitement to violence.
The right of free expression is not at stake here. I acknowledge the efforts of the Government of the Netherlands to stop the broadcast of this film, and appeal for calm to those understandably offended by it."
Appeal for calm?
You mean this film might lead to
violence?
From who?
Is he suggesting Muslims might respond to criticism with
violence?
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon attacks freedom of speech, Sept 2012, during the
Innocence of Muslims
riots.
He shows total hostility to the western concept of freedom of speech.
Instead he promotes some alien Asian version of "freedom of speech".
"Freedoms of expression should be and must be guaranteed and protected, when they are used for common justice, common purpose.
When some people use this freedom of expression to provoke or humiliate some others' values and beliefs, then this cannot be protected in such a way."
In 1976, after Israel's brilliant
raid on Entebbe Airport
in Idi Amin's Uganda,
UN Secretary General
Kurt Waldheim
described the raid as "a serious violation of the national sovereignty of a United Nations member state".
Idi Amin killed 300,000 people
in a reign of terror from 1971 to 1979.
Oberleutnant
Kurt Waldheim

Nazi Germany in WW2.
He later served as UN Secretary General in 1972-81.

Kurt Waldheim served in the Nazi
Army Group E
in the Balkans in 1943-45.
His commander, the Nazi butcher
Alexander Lohr,
played a leading role in the
extermination of the
Jews of Greece,
and
was executed for war crimes after the war.
Kurt Waldheim was at
Banja Luka,
2nd city of Bosnia,
in 1942 when its Jews
were rounded up
for extermination.
He was at
Salonika,
2nd city of Greece,
in 1943 when its entire population of Jews,
one third of the city's population,
were rounded up and
deported to death camps.
The UN "Human Rights" Council
is a sick joke.
As was its predecessor, the UN Commission on "Human Rights".
Sneer quotes are essential when talking about these bodies.
No matter what year you look at it, the UN "Human Rights" Council is always full of
human rights abusing dictatorships.
If you are interested in what cold-hearted communists, Islamic maniacs and tribal warlords
have to say about human rights, knock yourself out.
I have only utter contempt for this council.
Anyone who takes what this council says about human rights seriously
needs their head examined.
Sudan is getting away with murder
by Mark Steyn, 20 July 2004.
In 2004, the worst genocide in the world
was being carried out by the
Arab Islamofascist regime of
Sudan
against black Africans.
The UN's response?
In 2004,
Sudan - that is, the perpetrator of the genocide
- was elected to the
UN Human Rights Commission.
This sums up the
UN Human Rights Commission in a nutshell.
"The Sudanese representative, by the way, immediately professed himself
concerned by human rights abuses at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib."
"Rights abuser" Cuba put on U.N. action panel, Jan. 26, 2005
- Cuba and Zimbabwe appointed to an elite "action panel"
that will influence the work of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights.
Freedom House
ranked the members of the
UN Commission on "Human Rights" in various years:
5 of the 15 most repressive governments in the world
- China, Cuba, Eritrea, Saudi
Arabia, and Sudan
- are members of the UN Human Rights Commission.
8 other countries ranked as "Not Free"
- Bhutan, Egypt, Mauritania,
Pakistan, Qatar, Swaziland, Togo, and Zimbabwe
- are members of the UN Human Rights Commission.
6 of the 18 most repressive governments in the world
- China, Cuba, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Zimbabwe
- are members of the UN Human Rights Commission.
9 other countries ranked as "Not Free"
- Bhutan, Egypt, Guinea, Mauritania, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Swaziland, and Togo
- are members of the UN Human Rights Commission.
Incredibly, there are people in Ireland who are
proud
that an Irish woman
was head of this disgusting and evil body
from 1997 to 2002.
It seems more like something
Ireland should be ashamed of.
The new, "reformed",
UN "Human Rights" Council is just the same.
The US and Israel were right to vote against its existence.
June 2006:
"The new UN Human Rights Council voted Friday to make a review of alleged human rights abuses by Israel
a permanent feature of every council session."
In its first 5 months of existence,
the U.N. "Human Rights" Council
held no less than 3 emergency sessions on Israel,
and failed to pass one resolution on any country other than Israel.
UNHRC slams Israel for the 7th time, Dec. 8, 2006
- "The UN Human Rights Council passed a seventh resolution criticizing Israel
on Friday,
...
The rights body, which has only condemned the Israeli government
in its seven-month existence .."
The UN "Human Rights" Council has resolved to single out one member state - Israel - for permanent indictment on the council agenda.
It has institutionalized the condemnation of Israel as a standing item on the council agenda and institutionalized the mandate of the special investigator on "Israeli violations of the principles and bases of international law" in the Palestinian territories - its only indefinite, open-ended and one-sided investigative mandate.
There have been 9 resolutions condemning one member state only (Israel) but none of any of the other 191 countries
(including Sudan, Zimbabwe, China, Russia, Cuba, Iran or North Korea).
Pro-sharia:
The UN "Human Rights" Council
has passed a number of Islamic tyrant-supported resolutions
condemning
"defamation of religions"
(and
here).
It should be illegal to criticise religions, apparently.
Why should anyone care what the UN "Human Rights" Council says,
when it demonstrates that it does not even believe in human rights?
As at
2010, the UN "Human Rights" Council includes the "Not Free" countries of:
Angola,
Cameroon, Libya,
the Maldives,
China,
Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia,
Russia and Cuba.
No sane person should take seriously anything this Council says.
UN Human Rights Council condemns Canada, May 2012. No, this is not The Onion.
I will not dignify the UN Human Rights Council by repeating their "arguments".
I will instead note that the UN Human Rights Council at this time contains the following as members:
Angola, Cameroon, Congo, Libya, Mauritania, China, Kyrgyzstan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Cuba.
"Human Rights Under Assault"
by UN Watch.
Watching what actually goes on at the
U.N. "Human Rights" Council
is the best cure for anyone who believes in the UN.
Stunning speech by UN Watch
to the UN "Human Rights" Council, 23 March 2007.
A rare occasion when truth is spoken to power in the halls of the amoral UN.
In just 4 minutes, Hillel Neuer
of UN Watch
sums up everything that is wrong with the UN
and international "law".
"the racist murderers and rapists of Darfur women tell us they care about
the rights of Palestinian women;
the occupiers of Tibet care about the occupied;
and the butchers of Muslims in Chechnya care about Muslims.
But do these self-proclaimed defenders truly care about Palestinian rights?
...
in truth, the dictators who run this Council couldn't care less about Palestinians, or about any human rights.
They seek to demonize Israeli democracy, to delegitimize the Jewish state, to scapegoat the Jewish people. They also seek something else: to distort and pervert the very language and idea of human rights."
Disgusting reply by
the UN "Human Rights" Council president
Luis Alfonso De Alba
of Mexico.
UN Watch compilation
of the kind of speech
at the UN "Human Rights" Council
that Luis Alfonso De Alba finds acceptable
(i.e. lies and abuse of human rights from dictator's lackeys).
The UN "Human Rights" Council, Nov 2010, focuses on the "crimes" of America. A comical group of repressive dictatorships
claims to be "concerned" about the lack of human rights in the United States.
Cuba, Iran, North Korea,
Qatar, Egypt,
China and Libya
all express their concern at the lack of human rights in America.
After watching this, no intelligent person should
support the UN,
or respect what it says.
The UN should be shut down,
or at least it should expel all non-democracies.
What an Orwellian video. The UN is a glimpse into madness.
Iran is concerned about womens' rights in the US.
It is also concerned about insults to Islam.
China too pretends to be interested in human rights for the day,
and says it is concerned about the lack of Internet freedom
in the US.
Many of the ignorant thugs bang on about racial discrimination against blacks in the US,
rather ignoring the fact that the US has a black President.
When will Egypt have a Christian President?
When will Iran have actual elections?
The UN's other committees are just as useless, decadent and corrupt
as the UN "Human Rights" Council.
They have to be, because of the UN's membership.
They can be no other way.
Sudan elected Vice-President of UN ECOSOC council, Jan 2013.
Hillel Neuer of UN Watch said:
"It's an outrage.
Electing genocidal Sudan as leader of a global human rights body is like choosing Jack the Ripper to guard a women's shelter".
At the height of the crisis over Iran's nuclear weapons program
and its open threats to carry out genocide against the Jews of Israel:
Iran elected to UN disarmament commission,
Apr 2006.
The Iranian representative immediately said
that Israel's nuclear stockpile is among
"the major sources of concern with regard to global peace and security".
Also here.
Iran and Syria elected to U.N. Disarmament Commission, Anne Bayefsky, April 11, 2007.
Unbelievably, in Apr 2007
the U.N. re-elected Iran as a vice chairman of the U.N. "Disarmament" Commission.
And the U.N. "Disarmament" Commission elected Syria as its rapporteur.
Mohamed ElBaradei
is full of moral equivalence between dictatorships (like Egypt, Syria and Iran)
and democracies (like Israel):
"We must abandon the unworkable notion that it is morally reprehensible for some countries to pursue weapons of mass destruction, yet morally acceptable for others to rely on them for security."
Pakistan elected to IAEA Board of Governors, Sept 2009.
"The country's election to the Board of Governors is recognition of its long standing commitment to the aims and objectives of the IAEA".
As the Ace of Spades blog says:
"So that whole develop a nuke in violation of the non-proliferation treaty and then distribute the technology to places like Syria, Libya, Iran, and North Korea thing was in accordance with the the aims and objectives of the IAEA?"
UN Hits Bottom, Digs, 12 May 2007
- "Famine, corruption, runaway inflation, property confiscation, political repression
- none of these are sufficient to disqualify Zimbabwe from being elected chair of the
United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development."
Abdullah's U.N. Ploy: Tell us again about tolerance, tyrant, David Keyes, November 25, 2008.
It's disgusting that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is even allowed into the United States.
"Any sane discussion about tolerance would feature Saudi Arabia as the precise opposite of what is desired. Abdullah would be roundly castigated and one leader after another would denounce his regime. But that would be asking too much, for it would require a modicum of moral clarity and the ability to stand up for something other than immediate economic gain.
As Abdullah waxed poetic at the U.N., the West should be working furiously to undermine his regime.
...
That America sends billions of dollars of arms to an unelected government that crushes basic freedoms is as immoral as it is counter-productive."
UN "anti-terrorism" (i.e. pro-terrorism) committees:
Iran sits on UN committee to negotiate an "Anti-Terrorism Convention", Apr 2013.
Who better to help than the world's no.1 state sponsor of terrorism!
Other speakers included representatives of Cuba, China, Russia, Belarus, Pakistan, Syria
(for the love of Jesus H. Christ)
and Egypt (on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation).
I use PHP myself.
I'd like to know what (if anything)
I use that was developed in Egypt
(since 1600, say).
Let me know here.
Or even anything
I use that was developed in the entire Arab Islamic world
(since 1600).
Let me know here.
In 2008, responding to a deputy of the Egyptian parliament who was alarmed that Israeli books could be introduced into the Alexandria Library, Hosny said:
"Burn these books; if there are any there, I will myself burn them in front of you."
Terrorist leader Yasser Arafat
speaks to the UN in 1974,
and threatens more killing of Jews.
He gets a standing ovation.
He goes on to kill loads more Jews, as he promised.
Says it all about the UN.
(Ignore the disgusting pro-Arafat commentary on this video.)
Tyrant Fidel Castro and antisemitic killer Yasser Arafat arrive at the
racist UN conference
in 2001.
The filthiest committee of all
In the filthy cesspit that is the UN, it is hard to pick a standout, but maybe this committee is it.
The UN has an entire committee dedicated to threatening the people of the Falklands and Gibraltar:
UN Special Committee on Decolonization.
Disgusting and depraved.
The representatives of the world's unelected thugs, genocidal killers
and hate-filled religious clerics,
claiming to pass judgements that we should respect.
Again, only if all non-democracies were expelled
from representation could this court start to have any legitimacy.
"The Israeli government has both a legal and a moral obligation to comply with the Israeli Supreme Court's decision regarding the security fence.
...
the Supreme Court is a creation of the Knesset and is therefore representative of all of the people"
"Contrast this with the questionable status of the International Court of Justice in The Hague. No Israeli judge may serve on that court as a permanent member, while sworn enemies of Israel serve among its judges, several of whom represent countries that do not abide by the rule of law.
...
Israel owes the International Court absolutely no deference. It is under neither a moral nor a legal obligation to give any weight to its predetermined decision."
Travesty at The Hague
- Charles Krauthammer
points out that the judgement was read out
by a judge from the tyranny of
China.
That really sums up the International Court of Justice.
Like the UN and the International Court of Justice,
the International Criminal Court
cannot assume we should support it.
It has to earn legitimacy.
It has to prove that I should support it.
The UN-sponsored
"Alliance of Civilisations"
is meant to look at defusing the clash between the West and Islamism.
It is of course just another typical, hopelessly compromised, UN group
that no one should listen to.
Their 2006 report
shows that the group
includes:
Enemy leader, former President Mohammed Khatami
of
Iran
(Not Free),
who has the blood of Jews and allied soldiers on his hands,
not to mention the blood of Iranian homosexuals, atheists and pro-democracy dissidents.
The Iranian dissident
Amil Imani
describes Khatami's "Dialogue of Civilizations"
as a "diatribe against civilization".
Turkey's Islamist prime minister Erdogan at the Alliance of Civilizations Forum, Feb 2013, declares that
both Zionism and
criticism of Islam are crimes against humanity:
"disrespectful attitudes toward Muslims living in certain countries continue to hurt consciences
...
Just like Zionism, anti-Semitism and fascism, it becomes unavoidable that Islamophobia
must be regarded as a crime against humanity".
You'll never find the appalling Erdogan
declaring that the Armenian Genocide was a crime against humanity, however.
Similar to the UN's absurd conferences by racists pretending to be against "racism",
or by human rights abusers pretending to be concerned about "human rights",
we have the farce of "anti-terrorism" conferences hosted by the state sponsor of terror Iran, May-June 2011.
Of course by "terrorism" they mean any action by America, Britain or Israel
to try to stop Islamic terrorism.
Obama's "Global Counter Terrorism Forum",
launched Sept 2011,
is meant to fight "terrorism".
Unfortunately, it is hopelessly compromised by Obama's "outreach" to the Muslim world.
It includes as
members
many brutal human rights abusers
and even supporters of terrorism.
The list of members includes perhaps the world's greatest state sponsor of terror,
Pakistan,
and also includes
Egypt, Saudi Arabia,
China, Russia, Turkey,
Indonesia, Nigeria,
Algeria, Morocco, Jordan, Qatar
and the UAE.
shows that the group
includes:
