UN Human Rights Council to discuss ‘systemic racism’ by some of the world’s most brutal and dictatorial regimes – “such council members as Mauritania, which has up to 500,000 black slaves; Libya, which has up to a million African migrants treated as virtual slaves; and Venezuela, which kills protesters and has been accused of crimes against humanity.

Farcical UN Human Rights Council condemns U.S.
By: Lorrie GoldsteinM, Toronto Sun, June 19, 2020
When it comes to hypocrisy and double standards, the United Nations Human Rights Council is in a class of its own.
Its 47-member countries include some of the world’s most brutal and dictatorial regimes.
On Friday, it singled out the U.S., among all nations on earth, for police brutality and systemic racism in the wake of the death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police.
The UNHRC unanimously called for its high commissioner to investigate systemic racism and violations of international human rights laws by law enforcement agencies, “especially those incidents that resulted in the death of George Floyd and other Africans and of people of African descent.”
While the resolution pays lip service to examining how governments globally respond to peaceful anti-racism protests, including allegations of excessive force used against protesters, bystanders and journalists, it’s clear the resolution is aimed at the U.S.
Even that version was watered down by American allies — President Donald Trump withdrew U.S. participation in the UNHRC due to its anti-Israel bias two years ago — from an earlier one.
Given that Floyd’s younger brother, Philonise Floyd, had appealed to the UNHRC to investigate U.S. police brutality and racial discrimination, and the motion came from African countries, this might have been a legitimate inquiry if the UNHRC had any moral credibility. But it doesn’t.
As UN Watch, an independent human rights group, rightly argued, oppressive regimes intent on judging the U.S., should have withdrawn from debating and voting on the resolution.
It cited, “such council members as Mauritania, which has up to 500,000 black slaves; Libya, which has up to a million African migrants treated as virtual slaves; and Venezuela, which kills protesters and has been accused of crimes against humanity.
“Other council members with egregious records of racism or police brutality who approved today’s urgent debate include Burkina Faso (which initiated the session), Bangladesh, Cameroon, DR Congo, Pakistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Sudan and Qatar.”
“Russia, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and China are expected to be elected to the council in October. China recently chaired the UNHRC process for interviewing and recommending the UNHRC’s next expert on freedom of speech, to be appointed in July.”
In testimony before the UNHRC, UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer, condemned, “the shameful exhibition of brutality by police officers in the killing of George Floyd” adding UN Watch, “stands unequivocally with the struggle against racism and police brutality.”
But he also slammed the UNHRC for its shameless hypocrisy.
“Every year, we campaign against the election of racist and brutal regimes to this Council,” Neuer said. “Too often, however, because of backroom political deals, they win. The accused become the judges.”
“We ask Eritrea: given that your country has been condemned by this Council itself — for ‘systemic, widespread and gross human rights violations,’ including arbitrary detention and torture, will Eritrea recuse itself?”
“We ask Cameroon: Given that your country, systematically bans peaceful demonstrations, crushes protests by the English-speaking population and has committed atrocities, including massacring civilians, rape and burning villages, will Cameroon recuse itself?”
“We ask the Democratic Republic of Congo: aside from being the rape capital of the world, given that your police just two months ago killed 55 people in a coordinated crackdown on a religious sect, will DRC recuse itself?”
Of course, none did and that’s why the UNHRC is one of the least credible agencies on earth to address the global concerns of police brutality and racism.

The UN has been a sick joke since its inception the minute they allowed Islamic and Communist dictatorships/regimes and given them democratic rights.
We need a League of Democracies which includes Europe, US, Israel, India, Canada, Australia, Japan and other nations that are peaceful and democratic. We should work in unison against countries like Iran, China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other nations which are a threat to freedom and democracy.
We’ve sent billions in aid money to many of these nations and we know full well they’ve turned terrorists into billionaires while the people whom the money was meant for continue to starve and live in squalor.
The one thing that Muslims have going for them is that they’re united in the same goal of killing us non-Muslims/unbelievers and forcing Islam on the entire planet. We in the West should be even more fanatical about spreading freedom and destroying tyranny and evil ideologies like Islam.

With every year that goes by, the case for dumping the U.N. out of NY on its butt gets stronger.
The English speaking countries of the world do the human rights heavy lifting anyway so form them up.

I hope if Trump gets a second term does that. We are used as an ATM machine and really don’t have the influence we used to have using aid as bribe money. to stand with us. Communist China seems to have more influence and spends less money for it! The U.N. embraces Marxism instead of capitalism.

I made a bet that there were no African-American organizations in the U.S. that were addressing today’s slavery in Mauritania where 20% of the population are slaves. I won. In fact, there is only one anti-slavery organization in the entire world (outside of Mauritania) that lists that country as part of their mission. See https://www.endslaverynow.org/connect Go figure.

They literally don’t know the history.
On a tangent, that reminded me of debt slavery, as practiced in certain countries. Get the poor farmer in hock with a debt he can never repay, using high interest rates the farmer doesn’t understand, then “generously” loan him some more from time to time, to pay for his daughter’s wedding, etc.
I don’t think they understand debt slavery either.

Human Rights Violations are only committed by civilized nations that have a track record of protecting human rights due to their Christian culture and traditions …
… actual amoral monsters who enslave women, children, and blacks
… cannot commit violations
… they’re exempt because they’re not civilized
… and they are Muslim and/or pro-communist and/or totalitarian mass murder or have some other Victim-Card
Didn’t you get the memo?
*** Everyone at Geller have a wonderful week!

OTOH the U.N. has no problem with their “peace keepers” raping people and stealing aid and aid money from the country. Dignity and properly distributed aid is not a human right in their view.

Couldn’t agree more.
Unfortunately the oppressive U.N. prefers tyrant corrupt dictators running countries into the ground while demanding more aid from the west to level the playing field. The hypocrisy of the U.N. is off the Richter scale. The U.N. doesn’t want countries to prosper. As you know, prosperity within bordered countries is antithesis to their NWO goals of a one world government run by them in some form.

Yes, increasing a country’s prosperity decreases the chances of a communist takeover. But exacerbating poverty facilitates citizen subjugation. Poor, sick, ignorant, hopeless people are easier to subjugate, and all tyrants must subjugate the citizenry [e.g., Venezuela, Detroit].

AMEN! AGAIN! THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS WAS A BETTER, MORE REALISTIC SET-UP! IF GLOBALIST, WILSON HAD BEEN REASONABLE AND NOT LIKE VP DEMENTIA DADDY JOE BRIBE’M/BIDEN IS NOW WHILE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE LODGE RESERVATIONS THAT WERE GROUNDED IN REALITY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN USEFUL AND MADE SENSE IN GATHERING SUPPORT AGAINST HITLER! MAYBE JAPAN WOULD HAVE STOOD A CHANCE OF HAVING ITS SIDE OF THE CHINA SITUATION REPRESENTED IF ROOSEVELT HADN’T BEEN PRESIDENT.
SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT, LEONARD WOOD SUPPORTED IT ALTHOUGH HE BECAME A FOE OF THE GLOBALISTS LED BY EDWARD MANDELL HOUSE WHO MADE SURE HE WAS DENIED THE 1920 PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION UNFAIRLY! HE WAS FOR HELPING THE ANTI-COMMUNIST WHITE ARMY IN RUSSIA, ETC AND STOOD UP TO LEFTIST SEDITION IN THE PHILIPPINES AS ITS GOVERNOR AND PUT DOWN THE FIRST ISLAMIC ARMY REBELLION OF THE MORO, ISLAMIC PROVINCE OVER WOOD’S EMANCIPATION OF ISLAMIC HELD SLAVES! YES, THE USA FREED SLAVES IN THE PHILIPPINES TOO THAT WERE HELD BY MUSLIMS!

As a sovereign country the U.N. has no business meddling in our problems. What they should be doing is calling out MUSLIMS and MUSLIM countries on their ongoing human rights violations and slavery. The U.N appears to be Muslim and anti-west dominated so that will not happen.

Isn’t this the same UN that sends in the Blue hat wearing international UN security forces to various parts of the world, raping and murdering its way through people it was sent to protect? Extortion, child prostitution, and graft. But when it comes to using the guns they are so willing to brandish for protecting people, they run away or stand by and watch,
Yes, that UN.
Western society should simply withdraw funding as so many other blocks do. Quitting the UN would be best.

“We ask the Democratic Republic of Congo: aside from being the rape capital of the world,”…
Didn’t know Sweden had competition.
Congo is one the areas that participated in the Atlantic Slave Trade. Congo was one of the suppliers.
Will BLM ask Africans in that region to pay reparations?

LET’S NOT FORGET ISLAMIC MALI WHERE SLAVERY STARTED IN AFRICA ON A WIDE SCALE AND WAS THE FIRST ISLAMIC EMPIRE! THERE SLAVERY WAS MADE LEGAL AGAIN IN THE 2000’S! MAURITANIA IS A POSTER CHILD OF DE-COLONIZATION! BRING THE FRENCH BACK!
PRES. TRUMP GOT US AWAY FROM THIS HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON THE GEORGE SOROS-IAN GLOBALIST BANKING CLIQUE IS COMING AFTER HIM! UN WATCH IS AN IDEALISTIC ORG THAT DOESN’T HAVE ANY REAL POWER TO DO ANYTHING NOR EVER WILL.
PERSONALLY, I THINK THE USA SHOULD WITHDRAW FROM ALL UN SUPPORT OUTSIDE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND SECURITY COUNCIL. ALSO, I THINK WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE UN TO SPEND 6 MONTHS PER YEAR IN SWITZERLAND AND 6 MONTHS HERE IN THE USA IS THE OTHER OPINION I HAVE! IS WHAT IT IS!
