When will global attention turn to the murder and abuse of infidels in Muslim countries instead of focusing exclusively upon the burning of the Qur’an? The UN Human Rights Council should be paying attention to real abuses, such as the persecution and the ongoing genocide being committed in Africa and the Middle East in the […]
Why the UN Human Rights Council Has Outlived Its Usefulness
The UN Human Rights Council has added another arrow in its anti-Israel quiver. It is already committed, by its Agenda Item #7, to consider at every session the “human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories.” Now it has established a Commission of Inquiry (COI), to engage in an open-ended probe into […]
Abolish the UN Human Rights Council
At the end of 2021, the UN Human Rights Council set up a Commission of Inquiry that would investigate “human rights violations” and “war crimes” committed in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank by the Israelis, but by no one else. The General Assembly approved a budget of $5 million to fund the Commission […]
28 Seconds of Truth at the UN Human Rights Council
Of all the various U.N. bodies, the most anti-Israel and most antisemitic of all – and the competition is stiff, with many strong contenders – is the U.N. Human Rights Council. It is that body which has an Item #7 on its permanent agenda, which requires it at every session to investigate and prepare […]
UNHRC cuts off UN Watch for quoting antisemitic posts by UNRWA teachers
No surprise. In the view of the U.N., the jihad against Jews and Israel is not a human rights abuse. Telling the truth about Islamic supremacists is always regarded as unacceptable: “bigoted,” “racist,” and “Islamophobic.” After cutting off UN Watch over its valid concerns about antisemitism — which included “videos of Adolf Hitler, antisemitic conspiracy […]
World Jewish Congress and Muslim World League ‘reiterate the importance of safeguarding freedom of religion’
Does Leon Saltiel think that the Muslim World League doesn’t believe in these Qur’an verses and others like them? Or does he think that his friends in the Muslim World League interpret them differently from how jihadis do? Or does he wave away any concern about them by claiming that his own scriptures contain material […]
Draft UN human rights resolution on Afghanistan fails to even mention Taliban
It isn’t that difficult to see why the UNHRC would dodge putting the spotlight on the Taliban. For starters, the UN Human Rights Council includes some of the worst violators of human rights, such as Pakistan, China, Cuba and Venezuela. That speaks for its credibility and efficacy. Pakistan is particularly significant here, since Pakistan and […]
Afghanistan: Summary executions of civilians begin, ‘there are grave fears for women’
Top UN human rights official Michelle Bachelet says she has “received credible reports of serious violations committed by the Taliban in Afghanistan, including summary executions of civilians and restrictions on women and on protests against their rule.” But the UN Human Rights council — which includes some of the worst violators, such as Pakistan, China, […]
UN Human Rights Council Will Hold Special Session On Israeli ‘Actions’ In 11-Day Gaza War
The United Nations Human Rights Council, well known for its grotesquely unbalanced inquiries into the behavior of Israel, whose actions receive more attention from the UNHRC than do the actions of any other country, has just announced that it will be holding a special session to look into Israeli actions in the 11-day Gaza […]
UN: 22 countries, none from the Islamic world, condemn China’s treatment of Muslims
The West is a much easier, softer target than China. Islamic groups are doing well in the West, gaining almost complete acceptance of Sharia blasphemy laws, and managing to place a massive stigma on opposition to jihad terror and Sharia oppression. Whining about “Islamophobia” in the West gets massive results. Whining about genuine oppression of […]
