.@GardinerHarris As I often clash with Iran & North Korea in the UNHRC, I can assure you this line is false: "The U.S. now joins Iran, North Korea and Eritrea as the only countries that refuse to participate in the council’s meetings and deliberations." nytimes.com/2018/06/19/us/…
U.S. is indeed first country to ever voluntarily give up a seat on UNHRC but this has nothing to do with the others you mentioned, and I don't know who told you that Iran "refuses to participate in council meetings." They speak every day. Like today: unog.ch/unog/website/n…
And I don't know who told you that North Korea "refuses to participate in council meetings." They speak all the time, they interrupt me, and insult the North Korean defectors whom we bring to testify. They participated today: unog.ch/unog/website/n…

Counting down The Top Ten Worst UN Moments of 2018.
10. Report of Alfred de Zayas, first UN rights expert to visit #Venezuela, portrayed the Maduro regime as a victim—the West being the perpetrator—and failed to mention the term “political prisoners” once. unwatch.org/top-10-worst-u…
9. #Turkey’s Erdogan regime—which arrests, jails & persecutes human rights activists, journalists, and dissidents—was elected Vice-Chair of @UN Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations, which oversees the activity of human rights activists at the UN. unwatch.org/top-10-worst-u…
8. The UN let #Cuba cheat on a mandatory review of its human rights record by submitting hundreds of fake NGO submissions hailing the repressive regime's human rights record—including submissions from the "Cuban Federation of Canine Sports" & the "Cuban Plastic Surgery Society."

I stood next to a Hezbollah terror tunnel: a flagrant violation of UNSCR 1701, threat to peace under UN Charter & a double war crime as it was dug from under a home—to use Lebanese civilians as human shields—and deep into Israel to kidnap and murder Israeli citizens. Will UN act?
At its special meeting tomorrow, the UN Security Council must send a strong message by condemning these flagrant violations of their own Resolution 1701, and by demanding that the government of Lebanon—and the world body’s own UNIFIL forces—implement its requirements immediately.
Opening the hatch reveals a Hezbollah terror tunnel dug 150 feet below hard rock. This was a massive, multi-million dollar war project financed and masterminded by the Islamic Republic of Iran — even as innocent and hard-working people of Iran struggle to feed their families.

Last year, UN Human Rights Council "Special Rapporteur" Philip Alston investigated America's failed social justice system, and now he's examining Britain. Meanwhile, the only UNHRC Special Rapporteurs who've reported on Cuba & Venezuela, praised their social justice systems.
They may point to real problems, but it's clear these UNHRC experts seek to impose their own far-left economic policies by declaring that these are obligations of international human rights law. But in real life, millions have fled the countries that they hold up as models.
Here's how the system works:
1. Tyrannies go along in creating UN mandates to attack the West.
2. Social justice groups critical of the West feed their reports to the UN monitors & invite them to visit.
3. Tyrannies & social justice warriors both win; world's worst victims lose.

 Let’s talk about a newly written piece by @bozorgmehr, again turning @Reuters into a mouthpiece for #Iran’s regime to lie about how U.S. sanctions by literally whitewashing the mullahs’ crimes.
reuters.com/article/us-usa…
2)
 To make a long story short, @bozorgmehr’s report literally places all the blame of #Iran’s economic woes on U.S. sanctions.

This is a narrative of the Iranian regime published extensively through its apologists/lobbyists in the #MSM these days.
3)
 A few questions:

How come @bozorgmehr doesn't mention that #Iran’s @khamenei_ir “oversees an organization called Setad that has assets estimated at about $95 billion?”

Why doesn’t Khamenei use this money to provide for ordinary Iranians?

US Special Representative for #Iran Brian Hook:
Iranian tankers are now a floating liability after new U.S. sanctions. Self-insured oil tankers are prone to accidents.
US Special Representative for #Iran Brian Hook:
International insurers will no longer be insuring Iranian tankers.
There is high risks in purchasing oil from Iran. Entities allowing Iran's tankers dock at their ports may be facilitating Iran's malign activities.
US Special Representative for #Iran Brian Hook:
Iranian tankers are turning off their signal transmitters, violating international law & posing grave risks and dangers. Up to a dozen Iranian tankers have turned off their transponders. Iran is trying to evade tankers.

 Let’s talk about how the @NYTimes has officially become the mouthpiece of #Iran’s regime.

The piece is written by @giacomonyt.

 NYT describes measures taken by U.S. President Donald Trump against #Iran’s regime as “draconian.”
3)
 Let’s assume NYT is not biased (!) and is actually right (!)

How would NYT describe #Iran’s human rights violations?

 Let’s talk about a recent @Reuters piece written by Andrew Torchia & @bozorgmehr claiming U.S. sanctions on #Iran are hurting “ordinary Iranians.”
reuters.com/article/us-ira…
2)
 “…sanctions reimposed by U.S. President Donald Trump since August have played havoc…”

“It is one of many ways in which the sanctions are hurting ordinary Iranians while benefiting those with access to hard currency.”
3)
 First of all, this claim/argument is an old lie.

A United Nations “special rapporteur” sunk to a similar low, claiming U.S. sanctions are violating human rights in #Iran.
