Climate finance: 'The elephant that's not in the room' in Bonn​

By Jenny Lei Ravelo on 30 April 2013

...

“It’s the elephant that’s not in the room,” Oxfam’s climate change policy adviser Tracy Carty told Devex.



Calls for more climate funding have been increasing amid reports of the escalating impact of climate-related disasters around the world. Developing countries, which usually bear the brunt of these catastrophes, have been calling on rich nations to finance climate adaptation efforts.



But funds for climate finance remain in a limbo. Fast-start finance ended in 2012, but developed countries failed to make any collective commitment on climate funding for the next two years. How they will reach their commitment to provide $1 billion a year by 2020 also remains unclear.



“Unless we see progress on climate finance, negotiations toward an effective 2015 outcome will stall (…) It’s crazy [that climate finance] is not part of the agenda,” Carty argued.

The United Nations’ Hezbollah Protection Force

May 13, 2013 By Joseph Klein

...

Comments like these whitewash Hezbollah’s flagrant violations of Security Council Resolution 1701. Hezbollah now has more than 50,000 deadly missiles aimed at Israeli population centers, with the prospect of adding chemical weapons and highly precise missiles with greater reach deep inside Israel. In his speech last week, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said his jihadists were “ready to receive any game-changing weapons. Syria will give the resistance special weapons it never had before.”

Yet UNIFIL ( i.e., the UN Hezbollah Protection Force) is still directing its accusations of Resolution 1701 violations against Israel for using air reconnaissance in Lebanon to monitor Hezbollah’s re-armament and to enable Israel to better defend its civilian populations against a surprise attack. Some European Union countries such as France, which contribute troops to UNIFIL, refuse to properly label Hezbollah as the terrorist organization it surely is.

Israel cannot rely on UNIFIL or the UN Security Council to protect its civilians from Hezbollah’s missile attacks, much less from the game-changing threat posed if and when Hezbollah gets its hands on Syria’s vast stockpiles of chemical weapons. Nasrallah has already threatened to kill tens of thousands of Israelis. In the final analysis, Israel has the responsibility to protect its own citizens from Hezbollah’s commission of such crimes against humanity.

As Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations Ron Prosor said on May 10th during a discussion on counter-terrorism at the UN Security Council, “We will not allow Hezbollah – and I’d like to emphasize this clearly – to test our resolve.”

Not surprising that nut job rw's hate an organization whose only purpose is to promote peace.

Only thing worse than the UN is that horrible ACLU whose only purpose is to protect our Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

"an organization whose only purpose is to promote peace".

What a load of bull-crap!

Hey AJ, this is a great book that talks about how corrupt the United Nations is and their plan to destroy America from the inside-out.

 

[Granny]

If there is any proof positive that One World Order will not work, it is the United Nations. I'm hard pressed to think of a more corrupt and inept organization on the planet. Well, I can think of one, but that's not the subject of this thread.

People, their nationalities, their customs, etc. are, in any circumstance, incompatible with other people, nationalities and customs. Neither side is going to be willing to give up their values, customs, and everything else that sets them aside as a people or nationality in favor of a system of beliefs that is, frankly, abhorrent to their own system of beliefs.

God forbid that mankind ever reduces itself to being little clones of someone else ... but some factions of mankind are dead set on bringing that on. Imagine a world where no one has his or her own personality, thoughts, feelings, dreams, individuality, etc. other than those of the collective. Hitler tried that shit: a quest for a blue-eyed blond Aryan state that was perfect.

I think the US should take its chances and pull out of the UN. At the very least, look at the money we would save. Money and aid that never reaches its intended recipients. It's a freaking waste.

American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s CharacterIn American Betrayal, Diana West argues that – current policies today notwithstanding – America began to abandon its core ideals and march toward Socialism nearly 75 years ago. Starting in the late 1930s, at the time of FDR, the Soviets were already in a position to take advantage of the many communist sympathizers in the U.S. Not only FDR, but also Presidents Truman and Eisenhower and those in their inner circles played roles in enabling the U.S.S.R. as well as concealing the massive Moscow-directed penetration of American society. West shows that the system of spies designed to denigrate the American way of life was deep and extensive.

While West focuses on what took place decades ago as America lost its way, she does not fail to compare those episodes to events happening now. As the Soviet espionage scandal of that day amounted to making “deals with the devil” (the then Soviet Union), the U.S. finds itself in a similar situation today: Entering bad deals with Islamic extremists compromising our nation’s security and standing in the world, not to mention further endangering and undermining our value system and way of life.

Jesse Jackson Wants Libya, Cuba and China to Investigate Martin Shooting​

July 17, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield

Great plan. I hear China still has that tank guy who runs over people. I bet he could offer a lot of insight into the Zimmerman case. Also I’m sure that Libya will be happy to take a break from murdering black people to come over here and investigate Trayvon Martin’s shooting.

But Jesse Jackson’s career is a testament to his penchant for acting stupidly. So he’s reaching over Obama’s head to the UN Human Rights Council which consists of such nations as Cuba, China, Libya, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh. Not to mention Mauritania, which still has slavery.

So these are the perfect folks to come down and take charge of our human rights situation. (Oh and let the record show that Jesse Jackson invited a country which still has slaves to investigate America’s treatment of black people.)

...

I think Jesse should get Russia in on this. Their police are really good at shooting people and then explaining how they shot themselves.

Positions of Power

July 18, 2013 By Adam Turner

[Her husband is Cass Sunstein]

...

The premiere example is her response to the “thought experiment” on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In 2002, Samantha Power was asked: “Let me give you a thought experiment here …without addressing the Palestine – Israel problem, let’s say you were an advisor to the President of the United States, how would you respond to current events there? Would you advise him to put a structure in place to monitor that situation, at least if one party or another [starts] looking like they might be moving toward genocide?” She answered:

…what we need is a willingness to put something on the line in helping the situation. Putting something on the line might mean alienating a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import; it may more crucially mean sacrificing — or investing, I think, more than sacrificing — billions of dollars, not in servicing Israel’s military, but actually investing in the new state of Palestine, in investing the billions of dollars it would probably take, also, to support what will have to be a mammoth protection force, not of the old Rwanda kind, but a meaningful military presence. Because it seems to me at this stage (and this is true of actual genocides as well, and not just major human rights abuses, which were seen there), you have to go in as if you’re serious, you have to put something on the line. Unfortunately, imposition of a solution on unwilling parties is dreadful. It’s a terrible thing to do, it’s fundamentally undemocratic. But, sadly, we don’t just have a democracy here either, we have a liberal democracy. There are certain sets of principles that guide our policy, or that are meant to, anyway. It’s essential that some set of principles becomes the benchmark, rather than a deference to [leaders] who are fundamentally politically destined to destroy the lives of their own people…I do think in that sense, both political leaders have been dreadfully irresponsible. And, unfortunately, it does require external intervention.

During the 2008 presidential campaign, when Power was advising then Senator Obama, this hypothetical answer began to attract critical comment, so Power completely disavowed it: “Even I don’t understand it. This makes no sense to me. The quote seems so weird.”

...

• In a 2008 radio interview, when Power answered concerns regarding Barack Obama and his views towards Israel, she stated, “So much of it is about: ‘Is he going to be good for the Jews?” A further clarification of this statement might be warranted. Perhaps she might say, “My appointment is good for the Jews. Did you know that I am married to one?”

This kind of strategy will likely get Samantha Power through the U.S. Senate. Whether it will serve our nation at the United Nations, a place where the United States faces determined foes and where political debates have real consequences, is another question entirely.

How Russia Cashes in on UN Corruption

August 3, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield

That only seems fair enough considering the role that Soviet agents played in creating the United Nations.

For much of the past decade, Russia has been engaged in a systematic effort to stymie attempts to root out corruption in U.N. spending. The Russians have pushed out U.N. reformers. They’ve defanged watchdogs. And they’ve blocked internal budget reforms aimed at saving costs.

Russia’s zeal for turning back reform has been felt most powerfully in the U.N.’s leasing of aircraft — a $1 billion a year market — that provide transport for the world’s second-largest expeditionary force.

An examination of U.N. procurement practices in the air-transport sector — drawing on dozens of interviews with U.N.-based officials and diplomats, as well as a review of internal U.N. communications and audits — suggests that Russia has enjoyed unfair advantages, including contracts that all but demand that the United Nations lease Russia’s Soviet-era aircraft.

Will the U.N.'s New Campaign Help or Hurt Gay Rights Abroad?

Activists and experts split on how the 'Free & Equal' education campaign will affect local LGBT communities in countries like Russia​

By Jamie J. Hagen
August 8, 2013


Last month, the United Nations launched a global public education campaign called "Free & Equal," aimed at fighting homophobia and transphobia around the world. "In 76 countries, it's still a crime to be in a same-sex relationship, and in at least five, the legally prescribed punishment is death," says Charles Radcliffe, chief of the U.N.'s Global Issues Section. "We are ready to intervene when we see human rights defenders arrested and detained." The U.N. hopes to confront violence and discrimination by emphasizing that LGBT rights are fundamental human rights. Adds Radcliffe, "There is a lot of misinformation that gets in the way of rational discussion, a lot of negative stereotypes."

In many ways, the timing couldn't be better, with Russia's homophobic new laws against so-called "gay propaganda" setting off a widespread outcry. But some experts are concerned that the U.N.'s campaign will have little impact in places like Russia – and could actually make matters worse. Janet E. Johnson, associate professor of political science at Brooklyn College, warns of likely negative repercussions against LGBT individuals and organizations in Russia. "Sexuality has become a political football, with Putin casting himself as the ultimate male-in-chief," says Johnson. "It's a very simple notion that if we advocate, it will change things. But there are countries where it doesn't."

Published: August 7, 2013

Adding to assertions that United Nations peacekeepers inadvertently brought a strain of cholera to Haiti, a new Yale University report holds the organization responsible for a recent outbreak and concludes that it should help the victims. Sewage from a United Nations camp contaminated one of Haiti’s largest rivers, the report said.

The UN's doing a great job promoting peace in Syria, just ask the men, women and children killed at the hands of the Syrian military.

They would likely be hard put to give a response.
