Congratulations to 🇱🇾 Libya, which runs slave markets that auction black African migrants, on now becoming Vice-President of the United Nations Human Rights Council. edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2…

I wish that the leaders of massive NGOs like Amnesty International's @AgnesCallamard and Human Rights Watch's @KenRoth would oppose the corruption of the the U.N. human rights system.

But that system grants them privileged access and influence, and in exchange they keep silent.
As of January 1, 2022 the members of the U.N.'s highest human rights body include:
🇻🇪 Venezuela
🇵🇰 Pakistan
🇷🇺 Russia
🇨🇳 China
🇱🇾 Libya
🇨🇺 Cuba
🇶🇦 Qatar
🇸🇩 Sudan
🇧🇴 Bolivia
🇬🇦 Gabon
🇺🇿 Uzbekistan
🇰🇿 Kazakhstan

Eleanor Roosevelt's dream is turning into a nightmare.
The regimes of Venezuela and Cuba both sit on the UNHRC, and so they get to corrupt the U.N. human rights system.

1/ The last time anyone introduced a UNHRC censure of 🇨🇳 China was 2004. The sponsor was 🇺🇸 USA. Beijing moved "no action" & killed the resolution by a 28-16 vote.

The Economist reports US may bring it again—but fears losing the vote could embolden China.
economist.com/china/2022/01/…
2/ I strongly urge @USMissionGeneva to introduce a resolution on human rights in China. This would place Beijing's gross and systematic abuses on the international agenda. If the text wins more than 16 votes, that's progress compared to the 2004 vote (⬇️).

China would hate it.
3/ For too long now, the US & EU have avoided introducing resolutions on countries unless they're sure of victory.

This is a wrong approach. It undermines the potential of the UN as a forum to achieve international exposure of a targeted regime and its human rights abuses.

Argentina condemns presence in Nicaragua of Iranian Vice President Mohsen Rezai, former commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps. He's wanted by Interpol for the 1994 terrorist attack that killed 85 people and injured 151 at the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires.
In Nicaragua for the inauguration of dictator Daniel Ortega, Iran VP Mohsen Rezai met with Cuban regime president Miguel Díaz-Canel. They discussed "the need to strengthen Tehran-Havana relations in order to thwart the enemies' sanctions and conspiracies against the nations."
"Iran respects the Cuban people and their resistance against the oppressors’ excessive demands, and is determined to strengthen relations with Cuba," said Rezai.

For his part, Diaz-Canel said "Cuba supports Iran's right to peaceful use of nuclear energy." tasnimnews.com/en/news/2022/0…

Mass murdering Ayatollah Khamenei regime relies entirely on Amnesty International chief @AgnesCallamard who devoted her UN career to passionately echoing Iran's narrative on the killing of terrorist mastermind Gen. Qassem Soleimani—which actually made the world a safer place.
When Amnesty chief Agnès Callamard was a UNHRC expert, she sprang into action within minutes of their deaths to eulogize Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders Qassem Soleimani and Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, and to condemn their killings as "illegal."
Moments after Soleimani was killed, @AgnesCallamard launched into a tweet storm declaring the U.S. airstrike “unlawful,” saying it “violates international human rights law.” Later she presented a major report on this to the UNHRC—which was adored by #Iran. unwatch.org/top-un-human-r…

Emotional UNHRC rep @NilsMelzer threatens to undermine trust in the United Nations.

Images he shows are old—from March 2021—and the officers are already being prosecuted.

He shared alt-right sources with 0 verification.

I told him this last night.
🧵:
Note:

1. UNHRC "expert" @nilsmelzer shared a tweet from @visegrad24, even though it's a pro-Viktor Orban propaganda account that openly promotes racism like this tweet opposing "mixed-ethnicity" societies.

2. The video— presenting images from The Hague in March as if it were news from Amsterdam this week—is from @Konfederacja_, a Polish anti-gay, antisemitic party.

What kind of UN expert launches an official tirade—tagging @DutchMFA—with zero verification?

A reminder that Amnesty International has lost its way.

It was founded to defend prisoners of conscience jailed by oppressive regimes.

Now Amnesty's focus is accusing Western democracies of racism while the organization itself supports misogynists, homophobes & terrorists.

🧵:
In 2010, Gita Sahgal, then head of the organization's gender unit, was fired for exposing Amnesty's shameful ties and support for Britain's most famous Taliban advocate, former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg. theguardian.com/world/2010/apr… Image
Supporting terrorists has been a recurring theme with Amnesty. In 2015, a senior employee of Amnesty International was found to have undeclared private links to men alleged to be key players in a secretive network of global Islamists, revealed The Times.
