With Obama Administration Presiding Over UN Security Council Hezbollah Escapes Criticism

The Obama administration, which this month holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council, has circulated a Security Council “presidential statement” on the deteriorating situation in Lebanon. The unusually lengthy statement was supposed to be a catalogue of what’s really going wrong in Lebanon. Except…there was not one word about “Hezbollah.” That’s how the Obama administration conducts international diplomacy. Naming terrorists is avoided for fear of offending somebody. Despite being charged with protecting international peace and security, the Security Council consistently avoids identifying Arab terrorists who threaten international peace and security. The administration’s predilections fit right in. In this case, the Council statement did make plenty of references to “all parties.” But naming those parties? No. There were references to “new security challenges.” But naming Hezbollah backing Assad? No. The closest the Council got was referring to “the involvement of Lebanese parties in the fighting in Syria.” But naming those mysterious Lebanese parties? Just couldn’t manage it. The exercise was like talking about 9/11 and not mentioning Al Qaeda. Little wonder the Council is impotent on Syria, on Iran….

President Morales outside his grounded plane

Obama’s Snowden Mess Moves to United Nations

Bolivia has now complained to the UN Secretary-General – in a letter circulated to the entire General Assembly – that the diversion of its plane carrying President Morales was “a gross violation of international law.” The plane, traveling from Russia to Bolivia, was diverted to Austria after an erroneous report – now believed to have come from the U.S. Ambassador to Austria – that the plane was carrying Edward Snowden. France and Portugal denied overflight, while Spain said it could land on its territory only on condition that the plane was searched. Bolivia has now placed the matter on the agenda of the General Assembly and “call[ed] upon the international community to take timely action in order to ensure that these acts do not go unpunished.” The embarrassing mistake may well give rise to a new popular and recurring anti-American UNGA resolution.

Nigerian soldier stands guard

Dozens of Nigerian Kids Slaughtered Because “Western Education is Sin”

Muslim terrorists target and murder dozens of Nigerian school kids, after rounding them up and throwing explosives into the room where they are being held captive. Why? Because “Western education is sin.” The response of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) was to condemn the act without naming the perpetrators. The Nuremberg Tribunal said long ago: “Crimes against international law are committed by men, not by abstract entities.” A lesson the UN agencies of today, intimidated or run by Islamist states, have conveniently forgotten.

Animals killed by chemical weapon attack near Aleppo, Syria (Reuters)

UN “Fact-Finding” Farce Re Syrian Chemical Weapons Continues

Fact: The Syrian government used chemical weapons against its adversaries. Fact: The UN “fact-finding mission” to find out if the Syrian government used chemical weapons never got off the ground. Latest UN “action” on Syria? “The Secretary-General welcomes the offer of the Government of Syria to continue discussions on the United Nations Mission to Investigate Allegations of the Use of Chemical Weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic.” So dumb for real.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz al-Saud in June 2008

UN Honors Anti-humanitarian Saudi Arabian for Humanitarianism

The UN has honored another thug for supposed humanitarianism. With the annoying Syrian and Egyptian and Turkish conflicts taking attention away from the Palestinians-are-the-world’s-most-important-victim storyline, the UN awarded the late Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz Al Saud the “Outstanding Donor Award for the Special Human Settlements Programme for the Palestinian People.” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon “offered his heartfelt appreciation” for the Saudi’s “contributing to peace, security and stability.” If misogyny, beheading, slavery, and xenophobia equals peace, security and stability, sure.

IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano

1,300 Attend UN Gabfest on Nuclear Terrorism. Adopt Declaration with No Mention of Iran

Iran – on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons and the leading state sponsor of terrorism – will take heart from yet another UN gabfest on nuclear terrorism. UN International Atomic Energy Chief, Yukiya Amano, told the assembled: “The threat of nuclear terrorism is real.” No kidding. He then told the 1,300 participants: “Your presence here sends an important message: that the world is serious about enhancing global efforts to protect nuclear and other radioactive material…” If the world was actually serious about nuclear terrorism, it would take the obvious first step – stop Iran now. Instead, the conference-goers adopted a serious “Declaration” on their seriousness. Seriously. Here are a couple of gems from the latest UN contribution to preventing nuclear terrorism: “We, Ministers of the Member States of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA):…”11. Encourage the IAEA, in consultation with Member States, to consider ways of further promoting the exchange, on a voluntary basis, of information on the implementation of the legal instruments relevant to nuclear security. 12. Encourage States to further minimize the use of high enriched uranium on a voluntary basis and to use low enriched uranium where technically and economically feasible.”

U.S., Canada, Israel Lose Vote in General Assembly Against Half Billion for UN Lebanese Forces 126 to 3

The UN has been given a new infusion of 7.5 billion dollars for its “peacekeeping” budget from July 2013 to June 2014. Among the recipients is the “Interim Force in Lebanon” (UNIFIL) which presides over Hezbollah’s (and Iran’s) rearmament and the systematic use of the Lebanese population as human shields. The new 520 million to UNIFIL was adopted over the objections of Canada, Israel and the United States (the vote was 126 for, 3 against). Israel-bashers managed to include in the UNIFIL resolution a provision demanding Israel pay for damage to a UN site in Lebanon (on the logic that of self-defense should be fined and aggression rewarded).
