“I deeply appreciate the valuable work performed by UN Watch. Informed and independent evaluation of the United Nations’ activities will prove a vital source as we seek to adapt the Organization to the needs of a changing world.”
— Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary-General
Source: Letter by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan to Ambassador Morris B. Abram, Chairman of United Nations Watch, January 30, 1997
UN Watch enjoyed a long relationship with Mr. Annan. Even as he noted being “on the receiving end of some sharp criticism from UN Watch,” Annan encouraged our work and understood the value of an outside watchdog holding the world body accountable to the UN Charter's principles.
Yes, that is Chancellor Angela Merkel in the background (and a giant bodyguard).

On this day in 1944, Nazi troops occupying Holland urged a truce by broadcasting Silent Night and 🇨🇦 Canadian soldiers answered with a withering hail of mortar fire.
More than 7,600 Canadians died in the eight-month campaign to liberate the Netherlands, town by town, canal by canal, in a tremendous sacrifice for the cause of freedom.
The Dutch pay tribute to their liberators by lighting candles on Christmas Eve at all the war graves, below at the Canadian and British war cemetery in Bergen op Zoom. This year due to the pandemic there was no public audience, but the candles were placed and lit once again.

History will record that Iran's misogynistic Ayatollah Khamenei regime got to rejoin the U.N. Women's Rights Commission thanks to the myopic moral relativism of Western so-called feminists like Swedish ex-foreign minister @margotwallstrom who publicly justified this obscenity.
#NoJoke @margotwallstrom: "In the Commission of the Status of Women, there is also Russia, Belarus, Iran, Pakistan. And if we would have as a criteria that they have an ambitious policy when it comes to women’s rights, very few countries would actually take place there." /1
"If there is one place where they ought to be—to learn something about women—it is in the Commission on the Status of Women." /2

In which UNRWA teachers like 28-year-old Ahmed actually complain about how they can no longer express themselves on social media in support of Hamas terrorist attacks against Jews, due to pressure on the agency brought on by the reporting of UN Watch.
electronicintifada.net/content/unrwa-…
"'I used to express my support for the Palestinian resistance through Facebook, especially during the previous three Israeli attacks on Gaza.'

After his employment with UNRWA began, however, Ahmed said he was effectively silenced."
"So intense has the oversight become that he is thinking about deleting all his social media accounts in case he simply can’t restrain himself in the future."

No, madam, I most definitely will not follow you. Your group lost all respect when I heard from my friend the late Bob Bernstein, legendary founder of Human Rights Watch, how your executive director, Pablo Christiani 2.0, turned HRW into a fig leaf for genocidal antisemites.
Bob put some of this in words in a lecture at the University of Nebraska: unwatch.org/human-rights-m…

Ken Roth was recently forced to delete a tweet after being condemned by leading figures worldwide for justifying antisemitism:
Having said that, if you're trying to contact me to report on malfeasance and moral corruption by Human Rights Watch and its leader Ken Roth, or for anything else, please do feel free to write me here: civicrm.unwatch.org/contact_us
