United Nations Charter signed 26 June 1945 Entry into force of Charter 24 October 1945

The United Nations is a globalist organization of countries all over the world, originally created to facilitate cooperation in international law, international security, the 2030 Agenda, economic development, and human rights. It was founded in 1945 at the signing of the United Nations Charter by 51 countries, replacing the League of Nations, founded in 1919. The UN currently has 193 members, including almost all the countries in the world. Non-members include Taiwan and Vatican City. Switzerland joined in 2002, being the last country to join the UN until now. The United Nations typically supports liberal, environmentalist, socialist and communist ideals.

History

The term "United Nations" was widely used during World War II to denote the allied powers making war against Germany and Japan, but the actual UN was created in 1945. It was designed by the U.S. State Department. President Franklin D. Roosevelt envisaged "four policemen", Britain, United States, Soviet Union, and Republic of China to be the major forces on what later became the UN Security Council to enforce the peace worldwide. This was deemed at the time as a modern approach to replace the old spheres of influence as they were called during the age of Imperialism.

US Secretary of State Cordell Hull said at the time while selling the idea to Congress, "there will no longer be need for spheres of influence, for alliances, for balance of power, or any other of the separate alliances through which in the unhappy past the nations strove to safeguard their security or promote their interest."

After the Second World War many idealists favored the notion of "outlawing" war. For example, Gen. Douglas MacArthur actually wrote in a provision outlawing war in the Japanese constitution. On the international plane however, such a broad-based exercise in idealism was more difficult to sell among nation states. Provisions and concepts such as "war of aggression" and "territorial integrity" were crafted and written in to the Charter. By 1999, with the US-backed Kosovo war that tore out land from Serbia to create a NATO base, and the 2001 "Coalition of the willing" to violate the UN Charter and international law dispensed with the Charter. The United States' "rules based order" began supplanting the UN Charter in the "unipolar moment". Weaponization of the dollar and multilateral economic sanctions that were not authorized or confirmed by the UN, as per its Charter of member states, further made a mockery of the notion of "international law".

American enthusiasm for the UN soured after the Soviet Union vetoed most resolutions of the Security Council. However, the Soviets boycotted the UN in 1950, allowing the UN to officially sponsor the Korean War. However, North Dakota Congressman Usher L. Burdick in a January 17, 1957 speech titled "The Russians are and will continue to be on the inside of any military action taken by the Security Council of the United Nations" strongly implied that the Soviets nevertheless had indirect influence on the United Nations during the Korean War via its Security Council Secretary due to how it was structured, and that this was ultimately the reason why General MacArthur was unable to fully liberate Korea from Communism during the Korean War. In practice, the U.S. made all the decisions for the UN regarding that war. When the Soviets returned in 1951, they caused UN decisionmaking to stalemate, and the UN played a minor role in the Cold War.

The western military alliance of NATO began in 1949 and played a much greater role in US foreign policy commitments and decisions during the Cold War than the UN ever did. The one exception was the Korean War, which was fought under UN auspices since the Soviet Union was boycotting the UN in 1950.

Originally designed to institutionalize the military alliance that emerged as victors in World War II, the U.N. has shown no inclination to reform itself. It's governing Security Council is controlled by the victorious powers of 1945 and bares scant resemblance to the demographic changes of the 21st century. For example, (in the pre-Brexit era) the European Union had two votes, while India and the Muslim world remain unrepresented. Its supposed democratic underpinnings take no account of cultural differences; Shariah law for example, forbids the two billion Muslims of the planet from forging alliances with non-believers or participating in legislative councils. In the Koranic system, all law comes from Allah, and man made law, such as the United Nations Charter, is strictly forbidden.

Record of the Secretary-Generals

When the first UN secretary-general, Trygve Lie of Norway, a Stalinist sympathizer, was the Minister of Justice in Norway, he told Lenin's former right-hand man Leon Trotsky not to criticize Stalin or else he would be imprisoned and or kicked out of Norway; Lie eventually put him in prison, but later according to Stalin's wishes exiled him to Mexico where one of Stalin's hit men assassinated him by hitting his head with a pickax in 1940. As secretary-general, he failed to maintain peace in the 1947 Kashmir conflict, the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict, and the Korean War from 1950-1953.

The second secretary-general, Dag Hammarskjold of Sweden, former head of the Bank of Sweden, the oldest central bank in the world, even older than the Bank of England, used UN troops in 1961 to crush the Katanga province of Zaire when it tried to get its independence from the Marxist government.

Kurt Waldheim

The third secretary-general, U Thant of Burma, was a Marxist whose mentor was Burmese prime minister U Nu, who said in a 1948 speech, “If we now look back in history, we find that Stalin followed the right path”; together, they abolished private property in Burma and U Thant choose a former KGB officer to be his personal assistant. U Thant was known for admiring Vladimir Lenin.” So it should not be surprising that U Thant was very well liked by Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev, and did nothing to help John F. Kennedy and Khrushchev negotiate the Cuban Missile Crisis. He failed to maintain peace in 1967 after the Six-Day Arab-Israeli War between Israel and its neighbors.

The fourth secretary-general, Kurt Waldheim, the future president of Austria, was a former Nazi infantry lieutenant who fought to help Adolf Hitler take over all of Europe, and he did not care who ruled the world, whether it be Nazi Germany or the UN, it did not matter to him so long as there was a one-world government. He believed that mass murder was merely a means to a better socialist end. So it should not be surprising that he sat down and did nothing to prevent from 1975-79 Cambodia’s Pol Pot from conducting his mass murders; Waldheim actually sent the UNICEF to send supplies to Hanoi, Vietnam, which in turn was sent to Pol Pot so he can conduct the “killing fields”.

The fifth secretary-general, Javier Perez de Queller of Peru, who insisted on protecting the murderous regime of Pol Pot, did nothing to make peace during the Iraq-Iran War. After leaving his job, when he ran for president of Peru in the spring of 1995, he was surrounded by well-known communists who were running his campaign, even though his country was facing a Maoist insurgency.

The sixth secretary-general, Boutros Boutros-Ghali of Egypt, the former vice-president of Socialist International and former member of the Arab Socialist Union, along with Undersecretary-general for Peacekeeping Operations Kofi Annan, aided the Rwandan genocide. Kofi Annan would not allow Canadian general Romeo Dallaire to get his troops to seize Hutu weapons and thwart an extermination plan. Annan at one time ordered UN troops to withdraw from a school that held Tutsi refugees causing them to get murdered by the Hutu mobs. In his June 1992 report An Agenda for Peace, he wrote, “The time of absolute and exclusive sovereignty . . . has passed.”                                   

After Kofi Annan of Ghana became the seventh secretary-general, he did nothing to prevent the 2000s genocide in Sudan and sent UN troops to make peace in the Zaire, but instead, they were raping women as young as 11. During the ceremonies surrounding his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001, Annan said, “The sovereignty of nations must no longer be used as a shield for gross violations of human rights.” In his opening address to the fifty-third annual DPI/NGO (Department of Public Information/Non-Governmental Organization) Conference in 2006, Annan also said, “It has been said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity.”

The eighth secretary-general, Ban Ki-Moon of South Korea, like Kofi Annan, is a global warming alarmist and has criticized Dutch politician Geert Wilders for condemning Islam. He is also a sponsor of UN Agenda 21, a green socialist agenda for the 21st century meant to abolish private property.

The ninth and current secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, the former prime minister of Portugal and former president of Socialist International as well as former secretary-general of the Portuguese Socialist Party, supported bringing in “refugees” from the Syrian War into Europe, even though the supermajority of them were soldiers of ISIS, as even the UN reported that 75% of them were young males. He also blamed Russia for the Ukranian attack on the Nova Kakhovka Dam which flooded the area in and around Kherson during the NATO War in Ukraine.

Organization

Flag of the International Atomic Energy Agency

The main deliberative organ is the General Assembly which usually meets annually in September with representation by all member states. The General Assembly votes on the annual budget of the United Nations, elects members to other UN organs and committees and makes non-binding recommendations to member states through resolutions.

The Security Council handles matters relating to international peace and stability. It consists of five permanent members (USA, UK, France, Russia and PR China), and ten temporary members, which are elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms. The Security Council decides by vote. On substantive issues, nine members must support the proposal, including all five permanent members, giving each permanent member an effective veto power. The chair of the Security Council rotates each month among its members, in alphabetic order.

International Court of Justice

The International Court of Justice, based in The Hague, was founded to settle conflicts and disputes over questions arising from the interpretation of treaties among member states. It only may entertain cases where all parties to the case in question have agreed to recognize the jurisdiction of the Court. The Court also advices other organs and agencies of the United Nations on questions of the interpretation of treaties.

Report: The Arab - Nawaf Salam, head of World Court condemned Israel 210 times as Lebanon’s UN Rep, sided with regimes in Iran, Syria, Belarus, Cuba. He is to release another "accusation" he composed on Israel for July 18, 2024. (The bigot has inserted the "cleansing" term too. Abusing again his cloak at ICJ).

UN Charter

Sovereign equality

Article 2(1): "The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members."

Prohibitions on threats and use of force

Article 2(4), prohibits the “threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence” of a member state

Non-intervention in sovereign state affairs

United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2625, Declaration on Principles of International Law, concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States, adopted on October 24, 1970, states:

"No State shall organize, assist, foment, finance, incite or tolerate subversive, terrorist or armed activities directed towards the violent overthrow of the regime of another State, or interfere in civil strife in another State."

Mediation of disputes

Chapter VI of the U.N. Charter says in Article 33(1):

"The parties to any dispute, the continuance of which is likely to endanger the maintenance of international peace and security, shall, first of all, seek a solution by negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement, resort to regional agencies or arrangements, or other peaceful means of their own choice."

Authorization for sanctions and use of force

Under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, the Security Council is the only legal body in the world authorized by international law to impose multilateral economic sanctions.

Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter gives the UN a right to use military force against targeted nations, while also strictly limiting the circumstances in which this right can be invoked. This right has been exercised four times: the 1950-1953 Korean War, the 1991 Gulf War, the 2001-2021 Afghan war and the 2011 Libyan color revolution.

Article 39: Acts of aggression

Pursuant to Article 39 of the UN Charter, the Security Council "shall determine" the existence of an "act of aggression".

Article 51: Right of collective defense

In February 2022 Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin set forth a claim under the doctrine of 'anticipatory collective self-defense', devised originally by the Clinton administration and NATO in regard to the 1998 Kosovo conflict, as it applies to Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. The unilateral declarations of independence by the Donbas republics are completely legal and precedented by the West's successful demands for Kosovo to be recognized as independent from Serbia, and adjudicated as such by the International Courts.

Article 53 & 107: Enforcement actions

Charter UN members from World War II may take enforcement action against any state that had been an enemy during World War II; renewal of aggressive action against a former enemy state from World War II does not require UN Security Council approval.

Article 97 states, "The Secretary-General shall be appointed by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council."

Other Sections

The United Nations Economic and Social Council is a deliberative and advisory organ dedicated to promoting international economic and social cooperation and development. It cooperates with the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank Group and similar international agencies.

The United Nations Secretariat is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the UN system. The head of the Secretariat is the Secretary-General, who is nominated by the Security Council and appointed by the General Assembly for renewable five-year terms. The current Secretary-General is Ban Ki-moon, the former Foreign Minister of the Republic of Korea. It is customary to let the position rotate among the different world regions.

Criticism

The U.N. has at various times in its history been accused of inefficiency and waste, which some critics have attributed to its cumbersome and excessive bureaucracy. Probably the most controversial issue with the United Nations is the Oil-for-Food scandal.

As a meeting place for many different nations, the UN can only act as a mechanism for international consensus. The UN has been unable to act in a clear and decisive way when confronted crises in which this consensus is not present. Recent examples include the Iranian nuclear program and the genocides in Darfur, Sudan and Rwanda. Because each of the five permanent members of the Security Council has a veto, and because they often disagree, many times no action can be agreed upon. Typically but not always this division includes the United States on one side with either China, Russia or both on the other. Other times the Security Council has been able to agree but lacks the will or means to enforce its resolutions. A recent example is the 2006 Israel-Lebanon Crisis, where no action has been taken to enforce the provisions of Resolution 1559 and Resolution 1701 to disarm terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah. There usually are no consequences for violating a Security Council resolution.

Alex Jones, a paleoconservative believes that the United Nations is plotting to take over the world along with the Bilderberg organization. Some believe the United Nations will be the one-world government mentioned in Revelation.

Inclusion on the old United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR) of nations such as Sudan and Libya, whose leaderships have dubious records on human rights, and Libya's chairmanship of this Commission, has been a highly controversial issue.

The UN headquarters, on the east side of Manhattan, opened its doors on January 10th, 1951.

The U.N. has been accused of hypocritical conduct and double standards. The U.N. condemns Israel for its conduct toward the Palestinians, yet it refuses to condemn China for its conduct toward the Tibetans, as well as hypocrisy across the board, for decades. The United Nations has on many occasions ignored the plight of people across the world, especially in parts of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Current examples include the UN's inaction toward the Sudanese government in Darfur, the Chinese government's ethnic cleansing in Tibet, and the Israel-Arab conflict.

During the Rwandan genocide, the UN did not authorize UNAMIR to intervene or use force to prevent or halt the killing.

It was also criticized as being a Communist front, with evidence including Alger Hiss, who was infamously exposed as being a Soviet agent, being one of the key founders of the United Nations, several key founders of the UN being Soviet spies or otherwise enablers, the UN's own charter being a direct copy of the Soviet constitution, and former Communist leader Joseph Z. Kornfelder's own testimony that the people who founded the UN intended for it to be a Trojan horse to implement Communism in America.

The UN has supported left-wing pet agenda items. In his 2018 New Year proclamation, Secretary-General António Guterres issued a "red alert for our world" to fight against "nationalism," "xenophobia," and "climate change." The UN is supportive of open borders and mass migration. On Easter 2018, a UN agency made a tweet claiming that mass migration is "inevitable," "necessary," and even "desirable." In May 2018, the UN's Migration Agency Director-General William Lacy Swing attacked conservative immigration policies and claimed that mass migration was in the "national interest." In September 2018, Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner in charge of refugee matters, downplayed the seriousness of the European migrant crisis and labeled migration in general as "a source of progress and prosperity." The UN has challenged President Trump's immigration actions in court, and it aided illegal immigration to the United States. Additionally, the UNICEF's director stated that the West must be forced to allow mass migration. Even for issues ostensibly unrelated to international relations, the UN promotes globalism as the solution to problems.

Conservatives and proponents of Judeo-Christian values have criticized the UN's education programs for instilling left-wing and Marxist values into children in the countries where they are implemented. The organization has promoted social engineering in other ways, including by demanding gender quotas on the UK Army during an operation in Africa in 2019.

In 2018, the United Nations Human Rights Council effectively called for making nationalist-populism illegal and cracking down on those who voice conservative and Christian beliefs. In 2019, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced in a speech that the UN would target so-called "hate speech." Additionally, the UN regularly elects authoritarian rights-abusing dictatorships to the Human Rights Council. It has promoted Iran as a human rights-friendly country despite the opposite being true.

The UN has also been criticized for promoting left-wing environmentalism and exaggerating reports on environmental damage.

Totalitarian China's influence in the UN has been increasing.

The UN takes a left-wing stance on capital punishment, condemning the conservative Trump administration's decision to restore the federal death penalty for serious crimes as "rolling back progress."

Promoting abortion

The Committee for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) pushes countries to promote abortion. The UN played a role in passing a radical 2019 New York abortion law that allowed abortion up to the very moment of birth.

Chinese Communist infiltration

China has gained significant influence within the United Nations, and Chinese law dictates that they remain loyal to Beijing in their service.^{[Citation Needed]}

A report from a coalition of human rights groups, led by Amnesty International Canada, says that China is increasingly using “threats, bullying and harassment” to intimidate activists around democracy, civil rights, and those who speak out against human rights abuses of Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Falun Gong practitioners.^{[Citation Needed]}

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a long-range plan that very much includes the U.N.^{[Citation Needed]} The regime even opened a “School of Global Governance” at the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) to train armies of future diplomats and spies to work in international organizations.^{[Citation Needed]} In 2018, Chinese leader Xi Jinping said Beijing would take “an active part in leading the reform of the global governance system.”^{[Citation Needed]} Former U.N. investigator-turned-whistleblower Peter Gallo said,^{[Citation Needed]}

“the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights was caught handing over names of Chinese human rights activists to the Chinese government, so the Chinese police and security agencies could go and intimidate their relatives in China, all to ensure that nobody spoke out against China being elected to the Human Rights Council.”

Unlike individuals from most nations, and contrary to U.N. employment policies, Chinese officials openly retain their loyalty to the Communist Party above all else, which is hardly a secret. When the Chinese Communist regime arrested then-Interpol chief Meng Hongwei in 2018, it publicly accused him of failing to obey Communist Party orders, among other supposed crimes.^{[Citation Needed]}

Communist China agents run four of 15 specialized U.N. agencies, including the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and the U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA). By comparison, just one American holds a top post in a U.N. specialized agency.

Most of those leadership positions for Communist Chinese agents were secured during the Obama administration. Numerous other top spots for Chinese agents also occurred during the Obama administration: Xue Hanqin’s selection to the International Court of Justice, Tao Zhang’s appointment as deputy chief of the International Monetary Fund in August of 2016, and Yi Xiaozhun’s 2013 appointment as deputy leader of the World Trade Organization, among many others.

In 2019, using bribery and threats,^{[Citation Needed]} Beijing managed to seize control of the powerful U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), despite Trump administration efforts to block that. Years earlier, though, Americans working within and around the U.N. agency warned about Chinese “trust funds” within FAO, as well as that Beijing would be running a candidate to take over the agency.

In 2019, Beijing was working to install Andy Tsang as head of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime, while plenty of other Chinese operatives also were being groomed for senior posts across the U.N. Beijing’s agents lead key U.N. conferences as well, with CCP propaganda organs boasting that Beijing played a “crucial role” in the U.N. Agenda 2030 sustainability plan for humanity.

By the end of 2020, China had become the largest provider of peacekeepers among the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.

UN failure at serious war crimes and torture en masse

Despite massive evidence of perpetrating crimes against humanity and war crimes, the Syrian regime seems to be in a state of impunity when it comes to international justice.

Arab-Israel record/dispute

B'nai B'rith magazine gives a Jewish view of the UN, winter 2009 online

A General Assembly resolution led to the partition of Palestine in 1947, but the UN was useless in preventing armed Arab aggression against the new State of Israel in 1948. Increasingly the General Assembly became a forum for Arab attacks on Israel. Ahmed Shukairy, the first chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization terror group, was a Syrian delegate from 1949 to 1951 and later Saudi ambassador to the UN from 1957 to 1962. Shukairy was a Nazi collaborator who "spread Nazi-style hatred of Jews, even in the United Nations."

The UN has taken a one-sided approach to issues relating to the Israel-Arab conflict. Israel has consistently been singled out by the UN for uniquely critical treatment. In 1975 the General Assembly passed a resolution declaring that "Zionism is racism", and UN-sponsored meetings supposedly opposing racism have criticized Israel (which grants equal political and religious rights to Arabs) while suppressing all criticism of those Arab countries (where non-Muslims are second-class citizens and anti-Semitism enjoys state support).

Unlike other refugee groups, the Palestinian Arabs have their own agency within the United Nations, and are beneficiaries of special events such as an "International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People." Israel was excluded from membership in any of the UN's regional groups until 2000. In effect, this meant Israel was forbidden from serving on UN bodies such as the Security Council. Israel's recent permission to participate more fully within the UN as a member of the Western European and Others regional group is temporary and subject to renewal. Israel is allowed to participate only in the New York operations of the UN and is excluded from the UN offices in Geneva, Nairobi, Rome, and Vienna which handle such issues as human rights and arms control. Censure of Israel has apparently been instituted as a routine agenda item for various UN bodies such as the Human Rights Council. The 1975 Resolution 3379 qualified Zionism as a form of racism (later revoked with Resolution 4686).

On December 23, 2016, due to the leftist Obama Administration's abstention from a vote which broke over 35 years of American policy, a blatantly anti-Israel resolution was passed in the U.N. In response to the anti-Israel UN vote, Israel cut $6 million in its annual dues to the leftist organization on January 6, 2017.

In March 2017, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia authored a destructive and anti-Semitic report against Israel. The report and agency were strongly criticized by the United States and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, and the executive director of the commission resigned in response.

In 2019, the United Nations Economic and Social Council – comprised of Islamic and otherwise totalitarian countries with records of disrespecting women, such as Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Turkey, Pakistan, Yemen, Iran, and China – voted to condemn Israel for allegedly violating women's rights.

UN vs Israel

The UN’s History of the ‘Question of Palestine’ Omits Every Palestinian Attack on Jews. It says, “1936/1939 — Palestinian rebellion against the British Mandate and Jewish immigration.” But not that Arabs murdered Jews, just that it was a "rebellion."

There are many factors in UN's war against Israel since the 1970s, including the Arab oil lobby, the Arab huge market as an economic power, Islamic bigotry by religious zealots influencing its politicians represemting Muslim countries, radical liberal agenda pushers (including extremists inside Israel, those making much noise who don't pass the Lynch test) and plain old racists.

The OIC, which controls the UN, hours after Hamas atrocities Oct-7, condemned rather Israel. Called the savages "martyrs."

Islamic lobby: Islamic countries bloc of over 50 countries dictates much of UN decisions and appointments, including 'deals', we will vote for your candidate if you vote for ours.

This effects at ICC (International Criminal Court) and ICJ (International Court of Justice)..

Indeed, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has 57 members, 56 of which are also member states of the United Nations, with 48 countries being Muslim majority countries.

From a critic of Israel, judge Richard Goldstone:

I insisted on changing the original mandate adopted by the Human Rights Council, which was skewed against Israel. I have always been clear that Israel, like any other sovereign nation, has the right and obligation to defend itself and its citizens against attacks from abroad and within. Something that has not been recognized often enough is the fact that our report marked the first time illegal acts of terrorism from Hamas were being investigated and condemned by the United Nations. I had hoped that our inquiry into all aspects of the Gaza conflict would begin a new era of evenhandedness at the U.N. Human Rights Council, whose history of bias against Israel cannot be doubted.

Among highlighted actions in UN's war against Israel [published in 2021]:

• UN’s ECOSOC Singles Out Israel for “Violating Women’s Rights”.

Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Belarus were among member states of the UN’s 54-nation Economic and Social Council that voted to single out Israel as the only country in the world to be rebuked this year for allegedly violating women’s rights.

• World Health Assembly Deviates From Coronavirus to Condemn Israel.

• UN’s Virtual Palestinian Exhibit Distorts Facts..

• UN Refers To Jerusalem’s Temple Mount Solely by Its Muslim Name.

• UN Censors UN Watch Submissions on Palestinian Abuse of Child Rights.

• Despite Pandemic, UN Human Rights Council Holds Three Anti-Israel Sessions Under Infamous Agenda Item 7.

• UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian Human Rights Michael Lynk Turns Blind Eye to Hamas & PA Abuses.

• UN General Assembly Condemns Israel in 17 Resolutions, 6 on Rest of the World Combined.

• UN Releases Anti-Israel Blacklist, Fueling BDS.

At UN's silence while Libertad protesters were crushed in oppressive Cuba in 2021, activist noted:

There are real crimes of oppression, violence and killing of civilians around the world around the world. This is happening right now in Cuba, in South Africa and even in the Palestinian Authority. But the UN Human Rights Council, the International Criminal Court in The Hague and even the US administration are silent and continue to engage only in Israel.

In the aftermath of Guardian of Walls, all three panelists set up by the UN so called "human rights" have a history of activism and inflammatory rhetoric against Israel. Shocker.

When infamous virulently anti-Israel Navi Pillay, jumped on the opportunity to smear Israel under a mask of "investigating" (and Miloon Kothari Who lied for example on Al Jazeera in 2011) Her "report" was condemned by 22 nations. Some black South Africans who were victims of the original, South-African brand of apartheid were incensed at her charge and that 'Nelson Mandela Would Not Approve' on the smear "report."

In addition, during that very report work, what was exposed was the real apartheid - that on the Arab Palestinian side:

The report documents how the Palestinian Authority enforces a system of apartheid to ensure that every inch of territory under its control is strictly judenrein (free of Jews) by punishing Palestinian land sales to Jews with the death penalty, and by inciting the murder of Jews through financial rewards to terrorists.

More on Navi Pillay: June/2024: 'Navi Pillay sits a top of the UN pantheon of Jew-hatred. This latest "report", replete with malicious falsehoods & gross distortions of truth, is tantamount to a full antisemitic blood libel. That it was released on Shavuot, only further underscores the authors disdain for Jews.'

At the Iran/Hamas/PIJ Oct 2023 barbarity attack

At the barbarian Iran/Hamas/PIJ onslaught Oct 2023 which led to Swords of Iron, the US demanded condemnation of Hamas at UN meeting, but Security Council taook no immediate action.

The B'nai B'rith sent a letter to the editor of the Washington Post:

“

B'nai B’m'rith International CEO Dan Mariaschin and AJIRI-BBI Chair Richard P. Schifter sent a letter to the Washington Post regarding its recent, misleading article about UNRWA (“What is UNRWA, the U.N. agency in Gaza struggling to help Palestinians?” Washington Post, October 16). From Daniel S. Mariaschin, B’nai B’rith International CEO and Richard P. Schifter, AJIRI-BBI Chair: The Washington Post unfortunately misses a crucial and central point in its article about the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) (“What is UNRWA, the U.N. agency in Gaza struggling to help Palestinians?” Washington Post, October 16). Far from being an agency acting merely “to protect and support civilians,” it is an extremely problematic entity that for 75 years has exacerbated the Palestinian problem and symbolized the failure to solve it. As the article itself casually states, UNRWA is “unique…in terms of its long-standing commitment to one group of refugees.” UNRWA is, in fact, an outrageous anomaly (all other refugees in the world are covered by UNHCR—the U.N. refugee agency) that has perpetuated the Arab-Israeli conflict and has thus cost many thousands of lives, including the lives of over 1,300 innocent Israelis massacred on October 7 by Hamas terrorists claiming the phony grievances—of “dispossession”—that are pushed by UNRWA. The refugees from 1948 (refugees from a war initiated by Arab states against the new State of Israel, the aim of which was to destroy the latter) should have been resettled long ago, as have been millions of refugees from other conflicts all over the world. They were purposely kept as “refugees” by the Arab governments and by UNRWA to whip up hatred against Israel. Although there are believed to be only some 30,000 living Palestinian refugees from 1948, UNRWA incredibly recognizes over 5.9 million descendants of these refugees, as eligible for its services. UNRWA schools, far from teaching Palestinian children to become “confident, innovative, questioning, thoughtful, and open-minded, to uphold human values and tolerance,” as the article falsely claims, inculcate generation after generation with hatred of and resentment against Israel and with the false fantasy that they will one day “return” to their homes. As pointed out in Einat Wilf and Adi Schwartz’s excellent book, “The War of Return,” numerous terrorists (including at least one of the surviving Munich Olympic massacre perpetrators) were direct products of UNRWA schools. UNRWA is simply not a neutral humanitarian institution. It is a malign actor that exacerbates the problems and suffering of the Palestinian people.

”

Matthias Schmale

The 2021's head of the UN Palestinian refugee agency’s mission (UNRWA) in Gaza Matthias Schmale, who was always anti Israel, after the operation Guardian of the Walls, only as much as agreed during an interview with an Israeli news channel that IDF airstrikes in Gaza were 'precise,' "Palestinians" protested against him and he had to leave the post.

Sarah Muscroft

UN senior official official who dared to criticize Palestinian Islamic Jihad for its indiscriminate rocket attacks which triggers IDF response, lost job after BDS and pro Jihad "Palestinian" pressure. From reaction to UN conduct: "Every time I think the UN and its people have hit rock bottom, they prove that you can go lower. Shocking!."

Francesca Albanese

Francesca Albanese - Hamas cheered (Graphic, a meme)

Watchdog, who among activists, raised alarm ahead of her appointment, that whe was not supposed to get her position in the first place for her Israelophobia and even antisemitic record, showed, were proven right with her propaganda "report" in 2022. This infamous anti-Israel F Albanese, got cheers from the terror org. Hamas, naturally, after she ignored Israelis' rights to human rights in her so-called "report." Not one word about incitement or glorification of terror in Palestinian media and schools. In fact, in a two year period when more Israeli civilians are being murdered than at any time since 2008, their deaths are utterly absent.  There is not even a pretense of impartiality - no paragraph buried inside the so-called "report" saying, oh by the way, armed militias are popping up in Jenin and Nablus and Hebron, or a reform? declaration that Israel has the right to defend itself. Nothing. (July/2023).

Already in 2014, Fascist Francesca Albanese promoted the Pallyweid "genocide" thing.

In addition, in 2014, the "non lawyer" Francesca Albanese wrote about "15,000 Hamas militiamen who resist" Also, she wrote about Palestinians who defend themselves with "silly, deranged missiles" ("missili squinternati" in Italian).

In Nov 2023, Francesca Albanese, faced accusations amid controversy. "Despite the expectation of impartiality for UN special rapporteurs, Albanese’s statements have consistently reflected a pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli stance. The special rapporteur, in fact, has a history of making inflammatory remarks, such as accusing the “Jewish lobby” of controlling the United States of America, comparing Israel to the Nazis, and referring to Israel as a settler-colonial enterprise." A trip to Australia, sponsored by Palestinian lobbying groups, violates Article 3 of the UN code of conduct. Already in 2022 it was raised that she failed to disclose that her husband, Massimiliano Calì, had worked for the Ministry of Economy of the Palestinian Authority. And Italian journalist Antonino Monteleone has examined her claim to be a “lawyer”, after discrepancies emerged in her curriculum vitae.

There were calls to fire her in Feb 2024, after she said that the Oct 7 2023 Hamas led atrocities on civilians were supposedly "not" antisemitic...

As she went on in a PallyWeid accusation in March 2024, the US State Department denounced her anti-Semitic record and rejected her "genocide" false accusation.

Report (2024): Francesca Albanese runs int'l network targeting Israel. The report found that the network's members include some 100 people and NGOs, such as UN, UNRWA, Palestinian, and PLO officials, along with pro-Palestinian academics and activists.

Oct/2024:

Replied to infamous Francesca Albanese after sharing horrible post which included blaming Israel for 9/11, predicting death of US 'must read' accompanied with a vile image: "How do you have a job at the UN? The UN has an anti-Semitism problem."

Oct/2024:

UN Watch calls for sanctions against Francesca Albanese over antisemitism and terrorism support. UN Watch report exposes Francesca Albanese's antisemitism, support for terrorism, and financial misconduct. A report by United Nations Watch on Wednesday is urging democratic nations to impose sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights, accusing her of promoting antisemitism, supporting terrorism, and spreading misinformation. Titled "Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing: Why Democracies Should Sanction UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese," the report was presented to the UN Human Rights Council on October 23, 2024. The report calls for Albanese's removal, citing a series of statements and actions that violate UN impartiality standards and promote hatred against Israel and the Jewish people. UN Watch, a Geneva-based human rights group, demands swift action to terminate her mandate. The report identifies numerous instances in which Albanese has been accused of using antisemitic rhetoric. In a 2014 Facebook post, Albanese claimed, “America is subjugated by the Jewish Lobby,” a classic antisemitic trope suggesting Jewish control of governments. In another incident from February 2024, she downplayed the atrocities of the October 7 Hamas massacre, dismissing it as a “reaction to Israel’s oppression,” even after Hamas targeted Jewish civilians in the deadliest attack against Jews since the Holocaust. France called her remarks "scandalous" and "a disgrace," while Germany condemned them as "appalling." The report also cites Albanese’s frequent comparisons of Israel to Nazi Germany. In July 2024, she reportedly compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler. In another instance, she described Gaza as “the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century,” which UN Watch notes is a textbook case of antisemitism under the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition. US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield condemned Albanese, declaring, “It is clear she is not fit for this or any position at the UN.” The US Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, also called out her statements as “blatant antisemitic rhetoric.” In addition to her antisemitic rhetoric, Albanese has openly supported terrorism, the report states. At a 2022 Hamas conference, she told the audience, “You have a right to resist,” an endorsement of violent resistance, according to the report. She has repeatedly justified Hamas rocket attacks against Israeli civilians, framing them as legitimate responses to Israel’s actions. Albanese is quoted in the report as saying, “The Palestinians have no other room for dissent than violence.”

2025:

Human rights expert said she is the "21st-century Joseph Goebbels," and that she uses Nazi textbook to produce Oct. 7 denial. In July 2025, the US sanctioned the bigot.

When Italy turned on Fascista Francesca

In Nov 2025, Francesca Albanese, seemed to justify an attack on Italian journalists La Stampa by anti-Israel Arab gang. Albanese's comment was seen as a warning to the press to change its coverage of the Gaza conflict.

As it was reported: "Italy turns on UN's Francesca Albanese for comments excusing violence against journalists and Israel."

For years, her voice has been prominent on every platform critical of Israel, especially over the past two years during the war in Gaza. Francesca Albanese, the Italian special rapporteur for the UN Human Rights Council on the Palestinian territories, has become one of the most aggressive and visible faces of Italy’s anti-Israel left.

She rarely misses a chance to level harsh accusations at Israel and to encourage rhetoric that critics say borders on incitement. Israel and the United States, along with many figures in Italy’s Jewish community and politicians on the right, have accused her of antisemitism.

Then, the UN spokesman refuted 'press freedom comment', without mentioning Albanese.

Georgetown University Cuts Ties

In Dec 2025: "Georgetown University Cuts Ties with UN’s Francesca Albanese Over Antisemitic Remarks'. Georgetown University has severed ties with Francesca Albanese, following her controversial antisemitic remarks, which included justifying the October 7 attacks. This move came after UN Watch led a campaign to hold her accountable. Albanese had been listed on Georgetown’s Institute for the Study of International Migration’s "Other Affiliated Scholars" page, but her profile has now been removed entirely from the university's website. The decision has sparked praise for upholding academic integrity and condemning rhetoric that supports violence against civilians. Albanese, who faces U.S. sanctions, has been widely criticized for her alleged support for terrorism and antisemitism. As it was out; "The university's decision to cut ties with Albanese was a significant move in holding an international legal figure accountable for antisemitic behavior."Georgetown University severs ties with UN’s Francesca Albanese over antisemitic remarks. Shoshanna Baker, JPost, December 25, 2025.

"Georgetown University has removed Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur, following her antisemitic remarks, including justifying the October 7 attacks, after a campaign by UN Watch.

U.N. Commissions

One of the major reasons the United Nations is considered by some to be useless is the Security Council. Along with other countries elected for a term of years, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, China, and France all have a permanent seat, along with the power to veto any decision made by the Security Council. When combined with the Security Council's role as voting on most major issues, including military intervention, and the tendency for most resolutions introduced to be vetoed by one or more nations, the Security Council and by extension the United Nations has become ineffective. The U.N. at times places member states in commissions or positions of importance which many believe they don't deserve. The following is a sample of some of those nations and the positions of importance they have been placed in (this list does not include members that are on those commissions and deserve their place).

UN Peacekeepers Child Sexual Abuse

The United Nations since its founding has been enmeshed in various scandals.

In July 1997 the UN announced an investigation into United Nations Peacekeeping Forces in Cote d'Ivoire on charges of widespread sexual abuse with a large number of underage girls. More than 300 members of UN peacekeeping missions around the world have been investigated for sexual exploitation and abuse since 2004, including some stationed in Congo, Cambodia and Haiti.

Incidents

• 1998 - Bosnia
• 2003 - Nepalese troops accused of sexual abuse while serving in DR Congo. Six are later jailed
• 2004 - Two UN peacekeepers repatriated after being accused of abuse in Burundi
• 2005 - UN troops accused of rape and sexual abuse in Sudan
• 2006 - UN personnel accused of rape and exploitation on missions is Haiti and Liberia
• 2007 - UN launches probe into sexual abuse claims in Ivory Coast

Notable roles of U.S. Ambassadors to the U.N.

• 1981–1985, Jeane Kirkpatrick - Denunciated the Soviet Union for the Sept. 1, 1983, shootdown of Korean Airlines Flight 007 in international airspace just west of Sakhalin Island.

LOL: Islamic oppressive republic of Iran as UNGA "VP secretary"

Bitter joke. In 2023, the oppressive Islamic Republic of Iran was named vice president of UN General Assembly.

“

Following Iran—a country that executes its citizens for “blasphemous” social-media posts—gaining leadership over a U.N. forum based on promoting human rights through technology, the Islamic regime in Tehran has now gained another position of influence within the international body dedicated to fostering peace: vice president of the General Assembly...

”

Naturally, angering the international community. "The criminals who trample their own people, violate UN Security Council resolutions, arm Russia with 400 UAVs to bomb Ukrainian civilians, fail to cooperate with IAEA and foment terrorism at home and abroad are unfit to serve on a committee dealing with disarmament and international security,."

Lebanon: so-called "peacekeepers" AKA Hezbollah terror enablers

On Sep 2023, Lebanese Official: UNIFIL's presence in Lebanon is Pointless if it does not perform its duty but Rmrather serves Hizbullah.
