Our letter today to @HelenClarkNZ. Her ties with China & @WHO bar her from credibly investigating either.

“Dear Ms. Clark:

UN Watch respectfully requests that you recuse yourself as co-chair of the WHO inquiry into the origin of & global response to the coronavirus pandemic...
“Though WHO chief Dr. Tedros has lauded you as an independent leader who is singularly qualified to head this investigation, your extensive record of partisan statements defending the WHO & your close ties with the Chinese government give rise to the appearance of bias which...
“under international law, are grounds for recusal.

Concerning the WHO, you have made sweeping claims defending the agency and its handling of the coronavirus. In April, for example, you tweeted an article sympathetic to the WHO’s response to the pandemic...

Don't you dare pretend to be a defender of Muslims when your government signs letters PRAISING the Chinese regime for its herding of 1 million Uighur Muslims into camps.

At the U.N., @ImranKhanPTI officially backs genocide against Muslims.

We fight it:
.@arslankhalid_m You whitewashed China's crimes against Muslims, as the world can see in this document: digitallibrary.un.org/record/3853509

You wrote: “Faced with the grave challenge of terrorism and extremism, China has undertaken a series of counter-terrorism and de-radicalization...“
measures in Xinjiang, including setting up vocational education and training centers... The past three consecutive years has seen not a single terrorist attack in Xinjiang and people there enjoy a stronger sense of happiness, fulfillment and security...“

China's appointment in April to a UN Human Rights Council panel that selects human rights monitors sparked global outrage. Worse, it turns out the vetting of the freedom of speech expert—an appointment just finalized today—was actually chaired by Beijing. newsweek.com/china-free-spe…
Only in the Orwellian world of the UNHRC would a totalitarian regime that silences, jails & crushes dissenting voices, and which runs the Great Firewall of China to block Internet from its people, be allowed to lead the process in selecting the next UN rapporteur on free speech.
Out of 48 applicants worldwide for the prestigious six-year position, the top choice put forward by the China-led panel is Irene Khan, the former secretary-general of Amnesty International from 2001 to 2009.

Today the world body turns 75. We bring you:

🇺🇳 The Top 10 Worst U.N. Moments 🇺🇳

10. U.N. picks Austrian diplomat Kurt Waldheim to serve as Secretary-General (right) despite his being listed a suspected Nazi war criminal (left) by the U.N.'s own War Crimes Commission in 1948. Image
9. In 2000, the UNHRC appointed Jean Ziegler, one of the world's most industrious anti-Western ideologues & apologists for rogue regimes—including Libya’s Qaddafi, Zimbabwe’s Mugabe & Cuba’s Fidel Castro—as its world monitor on "the right to food."

8. The U.N.'s "Oil-for-Food" program—created to help Iraq avoid sanctions to buy food for its people—was exploited by then-dictator Saddam Hussein due to wide-scale mismanagement and unethical conduct of U.N. employees, who tacitly allowed for Hussein to steal over $1 billion. Image

BREAKING: Ambassador Nikki Haley calls out 🇨🇦 Canada's U.N. "deal with the devil." In bid for UN Security Council seat, the Trudeau government "surprised Israel’s friends by voting for a North Korean resolution that challenges the legitimacy of Israel." (UN Watch NY Gala, Dec. 5)
"It’s just easier not to rock the boat. When the crowd is all going one way, it’s hard to be the only one going the other direction. But standing alone on behalf of American interests and values is not something to be embarrassed about."

"In America, we don’t celebrate the mob. We celebrate the person who has the courage and conviction to stand up to the mob. Now we’re seeing an example of this cultural corruption playing out in real time."
