Seriously: Iran nominated to head UN terrorism prevention group

The United Nations is the single worst enabler of human rights abuses in the world, even as it claims to protect human rights.

As UN Watch reports, the United Nations continues elevating Iran, China and other human rights abusers to leading positions in shaping and determining human rights findings and enforcement.And Iran, the world's greatest state sponsor of terrorism, in particular will be in a position to shape policy on terrorism prevention.

On Wednesday, the UN's 54-nation Economic and Social Council nominated the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN's Committee for Program and Coordination, which meets next month to shape policy on women's rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention.
ECOSOC's nomination is effectively decisive, as the UN General Assembly customarily rubber-stamps such nominations without a vote.

In addition, ECOSOC by acclamation elected China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan to the influential Committee on NGOs, which oversees the work, accreditation and UN access of thousands of human rights and civil society groups that enjoy consultative status at the world body.

The United States was the only ECOSOC member to object, saying that Iran, Cuba and Nicaragua were "unfit."

Henhouse, meet fox. The UN can't counter terrorism becomes the terrorism is coming from inside the house. The UN is the problem. And the sooner we get rid of it, the better.

Anti-Semitic UN official took money from pro-Hamas NGOs

UN Official Who Blamed Israel for Oct. 7 Took $20K from Pro-Hamas Groups, Watchdog Exposes

Francesca Albanese, the UN’s rabidly anti-Israel Special Rapporteur for the Palestinian Territories, is in hot water again. This time, she’s been caught pocketing $20,000 from pro-Hamas organizations to fund a junket to Australia and New Zealand, according to a bombshell report from UN Watch, a group dedicated to holding the UN’s feet to the fire.

Albanese, who’s made a career out of spewing lies about Israel and shilling for Hamas, claimed the UN covered her trip. But UN Watch blew the lid off her deception, revealing the cash came from a slew of pro-Palestinian groups, including the Australian Friends of Palestine Association (AFPA), Free Palestine Melbourne, and the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN). 

These aren’t just any groups—AFPA openly bragged on social media about funding Albanese’s trip while glorifying dead Hamas honcho Yahya Sinwar. Meanwhile, APAN’s leader has been linked to suspicions of funneling charity money to Hamas in Gaza, per Sky News.

“Albanese has compounded her misconduct, accepting funding from Hamas-supporting organizations and then lying by claiming the UN paid for her trip,” UN Watch director Hillel Neuer said, not mincing words. “She continues to abuse her UN post daily, spreading antisemitism and Hamas propaganda through social media, TV appearances and false reports,” he added, warning that her ongoing presence “damages the integrity of the UN Human Rights Council and the UN as a whole.”

UN Watch also flagged Albanese’s shady reappointment to her UN gig, which they say violated protocol.

Apparently, the Human Rights Committee ignored letters from the U.S., Argentina, and Israel objecting to her continued tenure—letters that were supposed to be publicly reviewed. Instead, they swept them under the rug.

This is the same Albanese who had the gall to blame Israel for Hamas’s October 7th atrocities. Now, she’s been caught red-handed taking dirty money from Hamas cheerleaders and lying about it. How much longer will the UN let this charade go on?
