UN Human Rights Head: Trump Policies Might Breach International Law
No mention of real human rights abuses in his own country of Jordan.
March 13, 2017
Joseph Klein

Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, a Jordanian, assumed his functions as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on September 1, 2014. He has recently been obsessed with criticizing the Trump administration for a variety of alleged human rights sins. Considering the sorry human rights record in his home country of Jordan, Zeid Hussein’s obsession smacks of utter hypocrisy. His charges are also baseless.

...

Amnesty International has listed other serious human rights abuses it found in Jordan, including torture in detention centers which have led to the deaths of some detainees while in custody.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, who comes to the UN from his glass house of Jordan, should not be throwing stones at the United States. And, considering the U.S.’s outsized contributions to his budget, Zeid Al Hussein should not be biting the hand that has been feeding his bloated bureaucracy for too long.

NO MORE GRAVY TRAIN FOR THE UNITED NATIONS
Trump administration contemplates 50% reduction in U.S. funding.
March 15, 2017

Joseph Klein

Bureaucrats and diplomats at the United Nations are scrambling to adjust to the new Trump administration. One thing seems certain. The Obama days of wine and roses for the UN are over. The Trump administration is reportedly laying the groundwork for cuts of at least 50% to U.S. funding for United Nations programs. U.S. diplomats warned key UN member states to “expect a big financial restraint” on American spending at the UN at a meeting earlier this month in New York City, according to sources cited by Foreign Policy.

The United States spent nearly $10 billion in total on the United Nations in 2015 alone, based on available data. This includes U.S. payment of 22 % of the UN’s regular budget and about 28.5% of its peacekeeping budget, which together add up to over $3 billion annually. The U.S. has contributed billions of dollars more in voluntary donations to various UN agencies, programs and flash humanitarian appeals. Based on available 2015 data, cutting just the U.S. voluntary contributions by 40 % would save about $2.7 billion a year.

...

Virtually nothing the U.S. pays for at the UN should be off the table for re-examination and potential cutting. It is time to end business as usual at the United Nations, even if some sacred cows are sacrificed in the process.

We need to toss that worthless org out of the U.S. and put it somewhere in Islamo-Land. It's nothing but a nest of criminals, and giving them diplomatic immunity and turning them loose on our streets is ridiculously stupid. Cut our funding to be proportional with the membership's, which is around a 193th of the current budget, with further deductions in ours for aid to terrorists like the PLO and faux 'Palestinians' and other similar vermin. The amount should be frozen to this year's amount and only reviewed every 10 years or so, or not at all.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BOYCOTTS UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL’S ANTI-ISRAEL SESSION
Standing up for Israel against UN hatefests countenanced by Obama.
March 23, 2017

Joseph Klein

The Trump administration decided to boycott the United Nations Human Rights Council’s special session bashing Israel this week. The Council is devoting time, during its regular annual month-long meeting in March, to take up ‘Agenda Item 7’ dealing with the "human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories." Israel is the only country in the world that is targeted under such a special agenda item during the Council’s regular sessions, held three times a year. The Human Rights Council uses this vehicle to concentrate its venom on Israel, with the objective of delegitimizing the Jewish state. Later this year, the Council plans to follow up on its request for production of a database of businesses involved with West Bank settlements, for the purpose of creating a blacklist of firms that countries and the UN itself will be pressured to boycott.

...

The Trump administration is re-evaluating the appropriate stance the United States should take in general towards the UN Human Rights Council, which the Obama administration had decided the U.S. should join. U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has already indicated that the U.S.’s participation in future sessions of the Council would depend on whether the Council undergoes significant reforms, including shedding its blatant anti-Israel bias.

...

Obama’s envoy to the Human Rights Council, Keith Harper, claimed that, in his view, it would be "essentially diplomatic malpractice to disengage, in light of all the benefits that the US leadership has brought to bear as far as the outcome from the Council.”

In truth, the Obama administration engaged in “diplomatic malpractice,” specifically at the Human Rights Council, and more generally at the United Nations as a whole, by indulging their hatefests. Hopefully, President Trump will succeed in reversing this destructive course.

ISRAELI-SPONSORED ANTI-BDS CONFERENCE HELD AT THE UNITED NATIONS
A good development, but the UN remains anti-Israel.
March 31, 2017

Joseph Klein

Anne Frank has been quoted as saying, “Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.” That is precisely what happened for one rare day this week at the United Nations, the international body that was once instrumental in creating the state of Israel but is now being used by Israel's enemies as an instrument to destroy the Jewish state. A ray of light shone through the darkness of anti-Semitism that too often descends on the UN’s chambers.

Over 2,000 representatives from organizations, pro-Israel activists, diplomats and students filled the United Nations General Assembly hall on March 29th to speak out against the unrelenting campaign of hatred launched against Israel at the United Nations and on college campuses around the world. The event was sponsored by Israel's Mission to the UN, the World Jewish Congress and various pro-Israel organizations. The event focused in particular on the evils of the so-called boycott, divestment and sanction (BDS) movement against Israel. The BDS movement perpetuates the lies promulgated by Palestinian rejectionists and their supporters, defaming Israel as a so-called “apartheid state” that is allegedly committing “genocide” on the Palestinian people. The BDS campaign seeks the liquidation of the Jewish state of Israel, not a genuine two-state solution of two states for two peoples living side by side in peace and security.

Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon opened the anti-BDS event by declaring, "The halls of the UN are now being infiltrated by the boycott movement. The UN’s Human Rights Council is creating a blacklist of companies and corporations operating in parts of Israel. This is pure antisemitism and together with the US, our greatest ally, we will keep fighting until BDS is eliminated."

...

No other country in the Middle East comes anywhere close to Israel’s record as a free democratic state. Yet the United Nations office of the spokesperson for the Secretary General cannot abide this truth or take a stand against a modern form of anti-Semitism, the BDS movement. To the contrary, various parts of the UN are encouraging the forces behind BDS. It will take a long time, if ever, for the light to truly shine through such darkness.

UN INTERFERENCE WITH EFFORTS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE
UN Special Rapporteur outrageously cites possible violation of international law if Obamacare is changed.
April 28, 2017

Joseph Klein

The United Nations is once again sticking its nose into the domestic affairs of the United States in violation of its own charter (Article 2, para. 7). The Washington Post has uncovered a transmittal letter dated February 2, 2017 from the UN Office of High Commissioner of Human Rights, forwarding to the then acting U.S. Secretary of State, Thomas Shannon, Jr., a complaint from one of the UN’s Special Rapporteurs about plans to repeal and replace Obamacare. This Special Rapporteur “on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health,” Dainius Puras, believes it is within his mandate to intervene in the internal debate going on within the U.S. Congress and the executive branch as to what to do about Obamacare.
In his letter, Puras expressed his “serious concern” over how proposed legislative changes to Medicaid, tax subsidies, and the Obamacare individual and employer mandates could deprive the American people of the rights contained in his long title. And then he waved the banner of international law. He cited broad clauses on health care in a number of treaties to which the U.S. is a party and the opinions of unaccountable members of the "UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights" interpreting the treaty clauses. The Committee noted, he said, that “there is a strong presumption that retrogressive measures taken in relation to the right to health are not permissible and if any deliberately retrogressive measures are taken, the State party has the burden of providing that they have been introduced after the most care consideration of all alternatives…”

...

This whole exercise provides yet another reason for the Trump administration to pull out of the dysfunctional, misnamed Human Rights Council and to withdraw funding.

ISRAEL SCORES MORAL VICTORY AT UNESCO WHILE SWEDEN DISGRACES ITSELF
Anti-Israel vote at UNESCO seen as political defeat for Arab bloc.
May 5, 2017

Ari Lieberman

Tuesday, May 2, was a good day for Israel at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization but not such a good day for the Arab bloc and their allies. As Israel was celebrating its 69th year of independence, the Arab bloc, instigated by the “Palestinians” and composed of dysfunctional nations like Lebanon and Sudan, submitted anti-Semitic resolution to UNESCO’s executive board seeking to undermine Israel and its nexus to Jerusalem and other sites of importance to Jewry as well as Christendom.

The resolution reaffirms previous UNESCO resolutions which offer skewed versions of history that are entirely divorced from reality. Jerusalem is once again referred to as “occupied” and Kever Rachel or Rachel’s Tomb, a site referenced and revered by Jews world over for over 3,000 years, is referred to as the “Bilal Ibn Rabah Mosque” and a “Palestinian site.” The Arabs of Judea & Samaria, who have no real culture or history of their own, have aggressively engaged in a form of cultural appropriation, adopting Jewish sites as their own or otherwise Islamofying them.

The resolution also “deplores” attacks on UNRWA schools without noting that Hamas terrorists have been caught stockpiling their rockets in UNRWA schools and have often fired their rockets and mortars from school grounds. It calls on Israel to lift its “closure” on the Gaza Strip without noting that Israel imposes no restrictions on humanitarian aid entering the Strip but that Hamas continuously attempts to smuggle arms – including long-range rockets – into the Strip for the sole purpose of attacking civilian infrastructure.

...

Following the vote, Israel rightfully summoned Sweden’s ambassador to Israel, Carl Magnus Nesser for a well-deserved dressing-down. But this mild political tap dance may be insufficient to persuade the Swedes to alter their tone. It is clear that the current radical leftist Swedish government has decided to ally themselves with anti-Semitic xenophobes and despots. It should be just as clear that the time has come to send Sweden’s ambassador to Israel, packing.

WALDHEIMER’S DISEASE RETURNS
The triumph of forgetting over memory.
May 5, 2017

Lloyd Billingsley

Joseph Klein recently noted, the United Nations is “once again sticking its nose into the domestic affairs of the United States” with a letter from Lithuanian psychiatrist Dainius Puras. The UN’s “Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest standard of heath care” warns that replacement of the Affordable Care Act would strip Americans of their rights and is therefore “not permissible” under international law.

“The U.S. Constitution vests no authority whatsoever in a UN Special Rapporteur with a mouthful of a title,” Klein explained. The interference, he argued, gave President Trump another reason to pull out of the UN “Human Rights Council” and withdraw funding. The president would do well to consider such a move, but there is a serious medical issue in play here.

Kurt Waldheim, UN Secretary General from 1972-1982, was a Nazi war criminal. He joined the National Socialist German Students League at age 19 and moved on to the SA, a Nazi storm trooper organization. During World War II, Waldheim served in units that executed thousands of Yugoslav partisans and deported thousands of Greek Jews to death camps.

As one wag put it, the UN boss suffered from “Waldheimer’s Disease,” a degenerative condition that made the patient forget he was a Nazi. A new strain of this disease is now causing citizens and politicians alike to forget how loathsome the United Nations really is. For example, take the United Nations’ Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Is the UN the Next Big Threat to Internet Freedom?

6/1/12 By Mathew Ingram

Even as Internet-control bills such as SOPA and PIPA were making their way through the Senate and House of Representatives earlier this year (only to be short-circuited by public opinion), another potential firestorm was brewing just beneath the surface—one that is expected to erupt in a matter of months in Dubai. That’s because the International Telecommunications Union, an arm of the United Nations, wants very much to take over management of the Internet, a plan that will be debated by member nations in Dubai. On Thursday, a bipartisan group of U.S. congressional officials said they will resist this attempt with everything they have. But will it be enough?

UN HELPING NORTH KOREA WITH NERVE GAS PATENT

Your tax dollars at work. The UN won't stop North Korea's WMD program. But it will help it with its nerve gas patents. Because that's what the UN does.

...

But that's okay. The UN will help North Korea with a patent for a base ingredient for a banned weapon. That it banned.

So the UN is like all bureaucracies. Except deadlier.

There really is no reason for the UN to exist. It's a leaning tower of bureaucracy that serves no useful function that couldn't be filled by giving PCP to turtles. It's incredibly useful to dictators and no one else.

THE TRUMP-HALEY EFFECT AT THE UNITED NATIONS
What caused the UN Secretary General and Norway to call out depraved Palestinian behavior?
June 1, 2017

Ari Lieberman

...

But on May 28, something strange but surprisingly decent happened at the UN. UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued a stinging rebuke to the Palestinian Authority for naming a women’s center after Dalal Mughrabi, a notorious terrorist. In 1978, Mughrabi along with seven other Arab terrorists commandeered a bus packed with civilians and mercilessly murdered 37 people, including 12 children.

For the Palestinians, this act of debauchery warranted praise and Mughrabi was elevated to the status of heroine and martyr. On May 26, the watchdog group, Palestinian Media Watch revealed that a women’s center named after Mughrabi in the Arab town of Burqa was constructed with funds provided by the UN and Norway. A prominent sign posted on the building bore the logos of the Palestinian Authority, the UN and Norway. Worse yet, PMW quoted a village council member who stated that “the center will focus especially on the history of the struggle of Martyr Dalal Mughrabi and on presenting it to the youth groups, and…constitutes the beginning of the launch of enrichment activities regarding the history of the Palestinian struggle.”

Upon learning of the outrage, a spokesperson for Guterres released a statement that termed the naming “offensive” and “unacceptable” and described it as a “glorification of terrorism” and an “obstacle to peace.” Guterres also demanded the immediate removal of the UN’s logo. Just two days prior, Norway issued a similar rebuke to the Palestinian Authority demanding not only the removal of the Norwegian logo but the return of all Norwegian funds earmarked for the project.

...

Judging by this past week’s swift action by the UN Secretary General and Norway, it appears that the Trump-Haley, one-two combo is having the desired effect. Haley’s continued pressure at the UN is all but certain to produce more positive outcomes but it is still an uphill battle given the level of long-standing and embedded vitriol which still prevails in that cesspool of depravity.

This is just the tip of the problem, the UN has always been a Progressive idea that failed, but you know how hard headed they are. They have never withdrawn a law in the past 66 years. Probation was the last. Just look at it from this view. WWII we sent most of the troop and equipment, Korea we supplied the manpower and most of the equipment. Name one war that the UN ever showed up with any real manpower and acted as a police man. No one except the USA makes the payment to support the UN the other countrys don't. So why stay and put out more money or US lives into the Progressive and Soros slush fund.

U.N. HOSTS JEW-HATE PALESTINIAN FORUM
U.N. join hands with terrorist collaborators.
June 30, 2017

...

Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon responded to such nonsense, saying, "They have no shame. These are lies and incitement from those who are paying terrorists to kill innocent Israelis."

Hamas is indeed a terrorist organization, with innocent civilian blood on its hands as it tries to carry out its genocidal campaign against the Jewish state. As for the PFLP, Ambassador Danon displayed a photograph of Israeli policewoman Hadas Malka who was killed in a terror attack earlier this month. He explained to reporters that one of the groups presenting at the UN forum works with the PFLP terror organization which claimed responsibility for Malka's murder. Both Hamas and the PFLP are considered foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S. State Department.

Nevertheless, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and his Deputy Secretary General Amina J. Mohammed legitimized the hatefest by their participation along with terrorist organization collaborators.

...

The Palestinians have only their own leadership to blame for their present plight. No UN forum can change the truth that, to paraphrase the great Israeli statesman Abba Eban, the Palestinians "never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity."

U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley has tried, since assuming her post, to move the UN away from its blatant anti-Israel bias. As the "United Nations Forum to Mark Fifty Years of Occupation" shows, she definitely has her work cut out for her.
