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-…

Ilhan Omar’s husband just accused journalist Masih Alinejad of not liking Muslims—even though she was born a Muslim in Iran, and in the editorial (which he seems not to have read) mentions her hijab-wearing mother among “many relatives who are pious Muslims I love and respect.”
“Weeks after the Women’s March, I reached out to some of the organizers to seek their help for my campaign against compulsory hijab. I found hardly anyone was willing to support my campaign lest they be accused of promoting Islamophobia.” @AlinejadMasih washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
“I worry that other Americans might be creating precedents that could undermine our freedom to speak out. In December, the House passed the Combating International Islamophobia Act by a vote of 219-212, introduced by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.)”

North Korea, the world's foremost nuclear weapons proliferator, will soon chair the U.N. disarmament forum on nuclear weapons.

That's like putting a serial rapist in charge of a women's shelter.

US, UK, France, Germany & other democracies should walk out.unwatch.org/north-korea-to…
North Korea has launched six ballistic missiles in four weapons tests since January 5th — almost as many missiles​ in one month​ as it launched in all of last year. All in blatant violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions,

"North Korea's presidency of the Conference on Disarmament is going to cause diplomatic waves, given its repeated violations of UN resolutions prohibiting it from conducting nuclear weapons and ballistic missile tests." @JoongAngDaily

Why does the U.N. Human Rights Council turn a blind eye to the worst abusers?

Because 68% of its members are non-democracies, including:
🇻🇪 Venezuela
🇵🇰 Pakistan
🇨🇳 China
🇱🇾 Libya
🇨🇺 Cuba
🇶🇦 Qatar
🇷🇺 Russia
🇰🇿 Kazakhstan

I urged the 🇪🇺 EU to oppose these candidates. They did 0.
I urged the EU to oppose China's candidacy to the UNHRC. They were silent. China got elected.
I urged the EU to oppose the Cuban dictatorship's candidacy to the UNHRC. They were silent. #Cuba got elected. 🇨🇺#SOSCuba

Today at the U.N. Human Rights Council, 🇨🇳 #China reviewed the human rights record of 🇸🇾 #Syria. “China recognizes the efforts made by the Syrian government to maintain national unity, promote economic and social reconstruction, improve people's livelihood and combat terrorism.”
"China calls on the international community to respect Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity and the choice of the Syrian people. External interference, provocation of confrontation and imposition of sanctions will not solve the problem..."
"but will only bring deep suffering to the Syrian people. Unilateral coercive measures against Syria should be lifted immediately.

China offers four proposals to Syria. One is to continue to implement the Post-War National Development 2030 Strategic Plan."

The human rights judgment of Norway’s FM Anniken Huitfeldt, who is today hosting the Taliban to discuss girls’ education and who last week addressed the UN Security Council about the Middle East without ever mentioning Iran’s sponsorship of terror, is equal to her selfie skills.
If Oslo also awarded a Nobel Prize for Terror Appeasement & Worst Selfies in the World, she’d win.

New York Times concocts dishonest, incoherent sentence to avoid recognizing the simple fact of anti-Israel bias at the U.N.

1. The U.N. last year adopted more resolutions targeting Israel than on Iran, Syria & North Korea combined. Bias here isn't a "perception" but a fact. /... Image
2. Dishonest because even if they refuse to report bias as a fact, and will only tell us what "Israelis perceive," then get it right: Israelis perceive that the U.N. is biased against Israel and Jews, in favor of terrorists and dictators; not "for Palestinian aspirations." /...
3. Incoherent sentence because if the first part reports as a fact that diplomatic victories for Israel are unusual, then it makes no sense to elaborate on and support this fact in the second part with a mere "Israeli perception." /... Image
