TOP TEN MOST OUTRAGEOUS DECISIONS BY THE UNITED NATIONS IN 2013


By The Commentator.com


The widely respected and highly courageous group UN WATCH has welcomed the New Year with a short but telling list of 10 worst decisions by the UN in 2013.  If it wasn't so shocking, it'd be funny.  Watchdog group UN WATCH lists the 10 worst decisions by the U.N. in 2013. Most are against Israel and in favour of terrorists or brutal dictatorships

1. The UN Human Rights Council elected Hezbollah supporter Jean Ziegler, founder and recipient of the Muammar Qaddafi Human Rights Prize, as a top advisor.


2. The UN General Assembly adopted 21 condemnatory resolutions against Israel, compared to 4 on the rest of the world combined.


3. The same UN General Assembly elected China, Cuba, Russia, and Saudi Arabia to the UN Human Rights Council. The dictatorships will take their new seats on January 1, 2014.


4. UN Human Rights Council expert Richard Falk blamed the Boston Marathon terror bombings on "the American global domination project" and "Tel Aviv." Council members praised Falk and the president defended him.


5. The UN Special Committee on Decolonization, charged with upholding fundamental human rights and opposing the subjugation of peoples, elected the murderous Syrian regime to a senior post.


6. The UN Conference on Disarmament in May 2013 made Iran its president.  


7. The UN Economic and Social Council, which oversees the UN women's rights commission, elected genocidal Sudan as its vice-president.  


8. The UN Human Rights Council elected slave-holding Mauritania to be its vice-president.


9. The UN chose Zimbabwe, a regime that systematically violates human rights, to host its world tourism summit.


10. UNESCO, which condemned no other country but Israel, and which was silent as Hamas bulldozed a world heritage site to make a terrorist training camp, allowed Syria to sit as a judge on UNESCO's human rights committee.


UN Watch has not asked us to do this but we do recommend reading their site on a regular basis and supporting them financially so they can keep up their invaluable work.

Don't miss:  The moment when a United Nations interpreter inadvertently spoke on an open microphone about the unfairness of the UN selectively targeting Israel for criticism, while ignoring horrors going on elsewhere:


A UN interpreter was caught on a hot mic expressing her incredulity at 9 anti-Israel resolutions offered at the UN General Assembly while none for the rest of the world, The Times of Israel reports:

Under the mistaken impression that she was speaking only to a colleague, the interpreter uttered the following words into the headphones of every UN delegate, and before a live webcast audience worldwide:


Isn’t it a little weird? There are nine or ten resolutions against Israel. And I know there’s a problem with the Palestinians. But there’s other bad shit going on and they’re spending so much time on this.”


Laughter erupted among the delegates. “The interpreter apologizes,” said the unfortunate truth-teller, moments later. I sincerely hope she won’t get fired.  Because the one who should really apologize today is the UN. Founded on noble ideals, the world body is turning the dream of liberal internationalists into a nightmare.  For by the end of its annual session next month, the General Assembly will have adopted a total of 22 resolutions condemning Israel — and only four on the rest of the world combined. The hypocrisy, selectivity, and politicization are staggering.
