Meet Nawaf Salam, president of the World Court. As Lebanon's UN rep, he voted 11 times for the Islamic Regime in Iran, blocked Security Council action for Assad's victims and backed tyrants Lukashenko and Fidel Castro. He voted against Israel 210 times.
unwatch.org/report-head-of…
2/ When ICJ President @nawafasalam was at the UN, he consistently sided with the Islamic Regime in Iran. Over 11 years, he voted against 11 UN General Assembly resolutions that condemned the fundamentalist regime’s violations against its people.
3/ In 2007, when the UN General Assembly considered a resolution to denounce the Islamic Republic of Iran’s use of stoning as a method of execution, Judge Nawaf Salam voted to shield the regime, joining a club that includes China, Russia, Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela. Image

Mehdi Hassan: “UN set up independent inquiry, Israel refused to give evidence.”

Let's unpack the lies.

1. Chair herself said she had “excellent cooperation” with 🇮🇱; her mandate was NOT to identify the terrorists; and Israel is sharing info with separate UN inquiry run by OIOS.
2/ What Catherine Colonna said at the United Nations about how her report was misrepresented by the media completely demolishes Mehdi Hassan's claims. (As he blocked me, I need you to tag @mehdirhasan so he will see this.)

TRANSCRIPT:
Q: How would you characterize the Israeli cooperation with you, given that as you may have seen today, the main takeaway from your report is Israel has yet to provide any evidence for its allegations that UNRWA personnel were involved in the October 7th attack. So how would you characterize that cooperation and this main takeaway?

Catherine Colonna: Thank you. I covered everybody when I said that we received very good cooperation from everywhere, including Israel. I could go in details who received us and so on and so forth, but I want to repeat that we had an excellent cooperation from all sides.

Now about one of the quotes—I couldn't read everything this morning—but one of the quotes that have been issued does not respect, I think, the text of the report. We have written – and the beauty of writing reports is that you can refer to what's written—we've written that UNRWA has not received evidence by Israel, not that there is no evidence. It's very different.

So please, again and again, refer to the content of the report and not to what you hear sometimes about it. I would really appreciate if you could base your comments and base your judgments on the content and not on preconceived opinions.

Q: You stated that Israel has given no evidence to UNRWA about their claims that any UNRWA employees took part in October 7th, but did you during your investigation ask Israel for evidence?

Catherine Colonna: Thank you for this opportunity to have me repeating that there must be no confusion between what we've been tasked for, which is assessing whether UNRWA does everything in its power to ensure neutrality and address challenges, etc., and what the OIOS is in charge of. There are two separate missions. So allegations regarding individuals, a difficult case, are in the scope of the OIOS mission. It is not the scope of our mandate.

And by the way, it is no surprise that Israel did not provide evidence to UNRWA because it doesn't owe this evidence during the investigation to UNRWA, but to the OIOS. And my understanding is that they have a better cooperation now than at the beginning, and that the team will, their investigators will return there soon. So this is a separate, separate mission.
3/ Mehdi Hassan: “The UN set up an independent inquiry.”

Fact: The inquiry was completely rigged. UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini created the inquiry—as his surrogate Chris Gunness said—“to provide cover” for pro-UNRWA states to restart funding.

Dear @AntonioGuterres: Acting under Article 3 of the United Nations Code of Conduct, we today filed a Complaint over financial misconduct by Francesca Albanese. We demand that you disclose all illegal payments she took since 2022, and all her expenses:
🧵 unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…

We requests that you commence an immediate and independent investigation into serious allegations that Ms. Albanese has been illegally requesting payments for work done in her official UN capacity, in gross violation of her solemn obligations under the Code of Conduct. /2
Art. 3 of the Code of Conduct prohibits Albanese from taking remuneration from “any governmental or non-governmental source” for activities in pursuit of her mandate. Albanese herself admitted she “cannot take [an] honorarium for anything she does in her official capacity.” ⤵️ /3 Image

BREAKING: UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini in Beirut reinstates Hamas-linked principal & union leader Fatah al-Sharif in “understandings” reached with Lebanese Prime Minister, in exchange for Islamist UNRWA union factions ending months-long strike tomorrow. refugeesps.net/post/27925/%D9…
Image
In March, under pressure from UN Watch, UNRWA chief Lazzarini suspended al-Sharif for three months without pay over his Hamas ties. Yet instead of condemning his links to a terrorist group, al-Sharif's fellow UNRWA teachers and staff backed him—and went on strike in support. /2
Contrary to UNRWA's “just a few bad apples” line on teachers' terror support, the entire UNRWA Lebanon teachers’ union—2,000 teachers—held mass strikes across Lebanon, shutting schools and services, to march on UNRWA's Beirut office to back al-Sharif. /3 unwatch.org/unrwa-teachers…
