The U.N. Human Rights Council was created to protect human rights & fundamental freedoms for all.

Instead, dictatorships hijacked the Council & turned it into an Orwellian nightmare.

As its 60th Session opens today in Geneva, here are 7 problems with this major U.N. body: 🧵 Image
1. The Council is obsessed with demonizing Israel.

Every session of the Human Rights Council features a standing agenda item targeting Israel: Item 7.

No other country—not Iran, Russia, nor North Korea—is singled out in this way.

See more on Item 7: unwatch.org/item7/
2. The Council grants abusive regimes impunity.

The Council has adopted zero resolutions on human rights abuses perpetrated by repressive regimes, including:
🇨🇺 Cuba
🇶🇦 Qatar
🇨🇳 China
🇹🇷 Turkey
🇵🇰 Pakistan
🇿🇼 Zimbabwe
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia

The UN Security Council is due to vote on renewing the mandate of UN peacekeepers in Lebanon.

The 🇺🇸 U.S. has branded UNIFIL an “abject failure” and reportedly wants it shut down, while 🇫🇷 France is pushing to prolong it.

Here's what you need to know: 🧵 Image
2/ UNIFIL was established in 1978, but after the 2006 war between Israel and the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon, the UN Security Council strengthened UNIFIL’s mandate.

UNIFIL was entrusted with overseeing Hezbollah’s disarmament and withdrawal from southern Lebanon. Image
3/ Instead, the opposite happened.

Hezbollah — with the help of its Iranian patrons — methodically built up a massive network of tunnels, arms and attack infrastructure inside UNIFIL’s area of responsibility in southern Lebanon.

Don’t be fooled by UNRWA’s lies.

On X, they claim to show you “how #UNRWAworks.”

But they never show you how UNRWA employs terrorists, incites hatred, and prolongs the conflict.

This is how UNRWA really works:🧵 Image
2/ UNRWA was created to help refugees from the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.

It had a noble goal: provide food, medical care, and housing to displaced people so they could rebuild their lives.

But the UN agency quickly lost its way. Image
3/ Arab leaders refused to accept that their war on Israel was over—and hijacked UNRWA to convey this message.

Instead of helping refugees and their descendants build new lives, UNRWA told them: “You are still refugees—and one day you’ll return to destroy the State of Israel.” Image

U.N. Antisemite Loses Blue Check
(GENEVA — For the first time ever, a U.N. official has lost verified status on social media. Francesca Albanese, recently sanctioned by the U.S., has lost her “blue check” on X after UN Watch's legal appeal to Elon Musk.
unwatch.org/u-n-official-f…
2/ The letter, sent on July 31 to Elon Musk and the legal team at X, called on the company to remove Albanese’s blue check mark in light of her designation under U.S. sanctions. The verification badge was removed from her account on August 4. Image
Image
3/ “This is a major achievement,” said UN Watch's Hillel Neuer. “Verification provided Albanese with visibility, amplification, and an appearance of credibility. Stripping the badge sends a message: anyone who supports terrorists will suffer consequences, no matter their title.”

Reuters forgot to say: 1 of the UN “experts” is a nutcase who was condemned for antisemitism by the EU, Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Italy, US, Netherlands, Australia, Austria, Czechia, Hungary, Brazil, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark & even the UNHRC Chair. 🧵
2/ Miloon Kothari, one of the three commissioners behind this report, famously declared in 2022 that “social media is controlled largely by the Jewish lobby.”

He became the first UN investigator to be condemned for antisemitism. Yet his inquiry Chair, Navi Pillay, defended him.
3/ 🇨🇦 “A Commission of Inquiry is different from a never ending Inquisition. Blatantly biased anti-semitic comments are completely unworthy of the UN, its Human Rights Commission, and are a disgrace to institutions supposedly dedicated to the rule of law.”

UN-REAL: Meet the newest members of the UN's Economic and Social Council.

This top UN body oversees key human rights & women’s rights commissions.

Electing human rights abusers Russia, China, Turkey & Burundi to the council is like putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank. Image
2/ These oppressive regimes were elected in a secret ballot at the UN General Assembly, receiving the following % of possible votes:

🇷🇺 Russia: 61%
🇹🇷 Turkey: 92%
🇨🇳 China: 95%
🇹🇩 Chad: 96%
🇧🇮 Burundi: 97%

And here’s the kicker—Western democracies helped make this happen 👇
3/ The vote was secret, but we can determine that many of the EU’s 28 members voted for the abusers.

According to the math, at least 19 🇪🇺 states voted for Xi Jinping’s oppressive regime, which has a million Uighur Muslims locked up in camps.
