It is an organization that seems to find every possible opportunity to condemn Israel, the only true western-style democracy in the Middle East, for "human rights abuses". Ironically, non-Jews in Israel have more human rights than anyone in any other country in the Middle East. At the same time, the U.N. remains mute on the biggest human rights violator on the planet, China, as well as on many of the brutal dictatorships throughout the Middle East and Africa. The U.N. is, at best, impotent on human rights. At worst, a legitimate case can be made that it is regularly complicit in serial violations of human rights, and in some cases, has been directly responsible for human rights violations (e.g. the sexual abuse of children by U.N. Peacekeepers).<BR/><BR/>The U.N. speaking out against violations of human rights is not much different than the mafia speaking out against organized crime.Paul and Heidi Adomshickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157660519807922162noreply@blogger.com
