Opportunity for UN to prove it’s committed to Human Rights

[LeftofLeft]

I’m convinced the UN was established as an apology for the US Exceptionalism. For years, all I’ve seen the UN do is wag their finger at US and Israel while claiming to be in favor of human rights globally.

Here is an opportunity for them to hold Hong Kong accountable.

Exclusive | I was an American political prisoner in Hong Kong — and saw the savagery and squalor firsthand

I first heard the shouting as my cellmates and I were preparing for bed in the hospital wing of Hong Kong’s Lai Chi Kok prison.

The United Nations is not for human rights.

The UN is as about as worthless as the League of Nations was

True

Suddenly, I heard the unmistakable sound of punches and smacks, followed quickly by wailing.

So they slapped somebody's face and made him cry? As if this was torturing prisoners to death in Abu Ghraib?

More evidence is needed. Not just US hate propaganda.

The United Nations is not for human rights.

Neither is Trump.

What evidence is needed outside the history of sexual abuse cases by UN Peacekeepers? Well documented and an ongoing pattern with the United Nations.

Prisoner abuse is common around the world. Even in the west abuse by other prisoners is allowed to happen. The lesson, stay out of prison.

At Abu Ghraib, prisoners were subject to the smell of cooking pork, barking dogs and veil-less white women showing cleavage…. torture.

This is about the UN being consistent when they want to hold countries accountable for human rights.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Neither is Trump.

Trump has put a dent in the sex trafficking trade and is trying to do the same with carjackings and assaults in failed blue cities by sending in the National Guard.

That is what you people call human rights abuse.

In the 1980s, Hombre (my husband) attended an intensive (all day) photography school in West Virginia for four months. (I spent my time there doing research and writing and soaking up the area culture there.)

One of the other students at the photography school was a really interesting young man, Chinese by race, but born in Hong Kong that, at that time, made him a British citizen. When he came to photography school in America, he came as a French college student--he was attending college in Lyon, France.

At that time Hong Kong was a great place with a vibrant culture and a financial center of the world. But it was a British colony and Britain's long lease of the territory was ending and China wanted it back after more than 150 years of British control. (Other than a brief period in which Japan had conquered/occupied it in WWII.)

So knowing negotiations were in progress to turn Hong Kong over to the Peoples Republic of China which was not at all appealing to our friend "Lau", he was looking for a French woman to marry so he could stay in France as a French citizen. His parents and siblings were planning to move to England that was accepting immigrants from Hong Kong. But Lau really liked France.

It was interesting to me that even then, a free people knew how oppressive a People's Republic of China--not a republic at all but rather the Chinese Communist Party and totalitarian government--would be and wanted no part of it.

(We lost track of Lau some years ago. I am wondering if his student visa ran out in France and he was forced to return to Hong Kong and is now stuck there?)

The OP illustrates why those who left were wise to do so.

Not suppose to mention Biden's child sex industry.

Human rights abuses are expected of a fascist regime.

‘I don’t give a s**t’: Vance defends ‘cartel boat’ strike

US Vice President J.D. Vance says he “doesn’t give a s**t” if the strike on a Venezuela-linked boat is labeled a war crime

But already it's become open acceptance of war crimes, where America at least used to make an effort to deny.

 

[Woodznutz]

Tyrannical governments are the norm throughout history. That's why NATO and the WASP nations are so important and should arm themselves to the teeth against what is, and always was, coming.

The regime welcomes that sort of anecdotal stories, to reinforce the image of any person outside of America as being a communist.

Be prepared for a lot more to come and watch for the first baby steps of praising Nazi Germany.
(already tested a few days ago and mostly well received)

Good grief man. You have Nazi on the brain. Could you just once actually read the OP and focus on that?

Americans supporting the regime shouldn't waste any opportunity to brand the UN as communists.

IMO NATO is far too supportive of oppressive regimes to be an effective organization to facilitate world peace. It put Iran as chair of the NATO human rights social forum for heaven's sake. How screwed up is that?

As for those "WASP" nations, they all are peaceful and non aggressive except for Russia which is communist and therefore largely suppresses religious expression there along with having a state religion in the Russian Orthodox Church which I'm sure they use as a propaganda tool.

LOL .. a social media influencer and frequent Trump critic challenges the legality, and that makes it so. Give me a break.

You object to hearing it repeated that Nazism/Fascism is the enemy of Socialism/Communism?

Has that now become your attempts to use the 'off-topic ploy to censor all opposition to fascism?
