The Beijing 2022 Collection depicts the regime’s oppression of the Tibetan people, the Uyghur genocide, the dismantling of democracy in Hong Kong, the regime’s omnipresent surveillance systems, and lack of transparency surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each of the five works will be minted as 2022 editions, and collectors will have the opportunity to write their own message of opposition to China’s authoritarian regime onto the blockchain as part of the minting process, preserving it as a public decentralized record of protest.
This collection is a collective act of censorship resistance and fundraiser that will donate 10% of proceeds to the Art in Protest Residency, a collaboration between the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts and the Human Rights Foundation. grayarea.org/press/chinese-…
.@Badiucao is an exiled Chinese dissident artist based in Australia whose work includes political cartoons, installations, street art, and performances. His art is renowned for denouncing human rights abuses and the suppression of free speech in China.

Badiucao’s Beijing 2022 collection on display at the artist’s solo exhibition in Brescia in November 2021, one of the artist’s few international shows which was not canceled in spite of pressure and demands from the Chinese Embassy in Rome.

ICJ found no proof of UNRWA terror ties.

⚡️ Exposé on UNRWA chiefs Philippe Lazzarini & Pierre Krähenbühl, Lebanon reps Dorothee Klaus, Claudio Cordone, Matthias Schmale, UNRWA deputies Gwyn Lewis, Hakam Shahwan, Thomas White, Munir Manna, Leni Stenseth: unwatch.org/the-unholy-all…Image
2/ See evidence of UNRWA teachers in a 3,000-member UNRWA Gaza staff Telegram group who cheered and celebrated Hamas’s October 7th massacre while at the same time asking when their UNRWA salaries will be paid.
⚡️ unwatch.org/unrwa-terrorgr…
3/ See the evidence that UNRWA for 30 years employed Fathi Sharif—the Hamas terror chief in Lebanon—to run their entire education system, putting a “teacher of Jihad” (as Hamas eulogized him) in charge of 65 schools, 2,000 teachers and 39,000 students: unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…

The Rise and Fall of Human Rights at the UN:

Jan. 15, 1964: UN Watch founder Morris Abram drafts UN anti-racism convention as member of UN human rights expert body.

Tomorrow: Loyal servants of Beijing & Tehran to be elected by acclamation to the successor UN human rights body.Image

2/ Meet 🇨🇳 Ren Yisheng. He served as a mouthpiece for the communist regime—primarily at UN human rights bodies.

Now he's going to switch roles by getting elected as a UN human rights expert.

Same guy who trashed a UN report on China's abuse of Uyghurs: archive.md/NWAtvImage
3/ Meet 🇮🇷 Afsaneh Nadipour. She's a 33-year veteran of the Islamic regime in Iran who defended their brutal crackdown on women's rights protesters. She’s an enemy of human rights.

Why are all our democracies silent ahead of her UNHRC election tomorrow?

.@GretaThunberg, while you're feasting once again on Israeli Navy sandwiches, remember that under international law—according to the UN—Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza, designed to stop Hamas from smuggling rockets and other weapons, is entirely legal.🧵 blog.unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…Image
2/ The UN's Palmer Report found that “Israel faces a real threat to its security from militant groups in Gaza. The naval blockade was imposed as a legitimate security measure in order to prevent weapons from entering Gaza by sea and its implementation complied with the requirements of international law.”
3/ “Although people are entitled to express their political views, the [2010] flotilla acted recklessly in attempting to breach the naval blockade. [T]here exist serious questions about the conduct, true nature and objectives of the flotilla organizers, particularly IHH. The actions of the flotilla needlessly carried the potential for escalation.”

Navi Pillay's UN inquiry on Israel just released a report accusing Israel of “genocide.”

We asked legal expert Salo Aizenberg to take a look.

Turns out the report is a complete travesty. See his devastating rebuttal here: 🧵
@Aizenberg55unwatch.org/un-watch-rebut…
2/ @Aizenberg55: “The UN Human Rights Council Commission of Inquiry’s report is fatally deficient: its reasoning is deeply flawed, its evidentiary base unreliable, and its methodology unsound.

It selectively misinterprets statements by Israeli leaders, accepts unverified Hamas casualty figures, disregards Hamas’s systematic use of human shields, relies on unverified media reports (such as by Al-Jazeera), and assumes that civilian deaths in Gaza are only the result of deliberate targeting by Israel.

Its omissions are equally striking. The report erases Hamas as an active belligerent; across its 72 pages, it never acknowledges that the IDF is engaged with a 30,000-strong fighting force that constructed a battlefield fortified with 500 kilometers of tunnels.

Such deficiencies strip the document of legal credibility and render it indistinguishable from propaganda dressed in legal language.”
3/ “Failure to prove dolus specialis: The specific intent to destroy a protected group is the central and extremely high bar in any genocide case. The Commission’s claim of genocidal intent fails on this threshold alone, relying on tortured parsing of statements, selective quotations, and conjecture rather than unambiguous evidence.”

NO JOKE: Amnesty International's researcher in Gaza got Hamas to arrest peace activist Rami Aman for the crime of organizing a video call for Gazans to meet Israelis.

Why, @AgnesCallamard @amnesty?

See exclusive new interview in full: unwatch.org/from-gazas-pri… x.com/UNWatch/status…
2/ On April 8, 2020, Amnesty International researcher Hind Khoudary, now an Al Jazeera “journalist,” called on Hamas to arrest Rami Aman for his peace initiatives.
unwatch.org/the-disappeara…
3/ “In 2020, we organized a big conference between 10 Gazans and 300 Israelis,” explains Aman. “We were talking about Coronavirus — not talking about one state or two states, or talking about negotiation. We were talking about how we can save each other.”

“And two days later, I found a post started from a journalist working with Amnesty called Hind Khoudary, asking Hamas and mentioning Hamas leaders on Facebook, to arrest me. And that happened just a day later.”

“This surprised me from the first time because when I checked Hind Khoudary’s profile I saw that she is working with Amnesty and she is a journalist and I know that she is a U.S. fellow.”

“So for me, how come Amnesty is calling for my arrest? How come a journalist asking the security to arrest me?”

🇺🇸 @MorganOrtagus tells UN: “Today’s resolution is yet another counterproductive gesture that only rewards Hamas, drags out the war, and undercuts the very diplomatic efforts to free the hostages and end the suffering in Gaza, which the New York Declaration claims to support.”
2/ The French-led resolution is “is yet another misguided and ill-timed publicity stunt that undermines serious diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. Make no mistake – this resolution is a gift to Hamas.”
3/ “It is likewise cynical, transparently driven by the domestic politics rather than a serious foreign policy agenda.”
