Denis Halliday: A Voice of Reason in an Insane World

By Denis Halliday and Nicolas J. S. Davies Global Research, All Global Research articles can be read in 51 languages by activating the “Translate Website” drop down menu on the top banner of our home page (Desktop version). *** Denis Halliday is an exceptional figure in the world of diplomacy. In 1998, after a 34-year career with the United Nations—including as an Assistant Secretary-General and the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq—he resigned when the UN Security Council refused to lift sanctions against Iraq. Halliday saw at first hand the devastating impact of this policy that had led to the deaths of over 500,000 children under the age of five and hundreds of thousands more older children and adults, and he called the sanctions a genocid...

UN experts warn of rising levels of Nazi Jewish settler violence in a climate of impunity

Violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank has risen markedly in recent months, with assaults and property destruction occurring in an atmosphere of impunity, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner stated Wednesday. “We note that, in 2020, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) documented 771 incidents of settler violence causing injury to 133 Palestinians and damaging 9,646 trees and 184 vehicles mostly in the areas of Hebron, Jerusalem, Nablus and Ramallah,” the experts said. “Already, during the first three months of 2021, more than 210 settler violent incidents were recorded, with one Palestinian fatality. We call upon the Israeli military and police to investigate a...

EU-UN conference raises donations to maintain Syrian stalemate

Steven Sahiounie, journalist and political commentator The European Union has co-chaired with the United Nations a conference on ‘Supporting the Future of Syria and of the Region‘, March 29-30. This is the fifth EU donor conference on Syria claiming to pursue a peaceful and sustainable future for all Syrians. However, the actual focus is not on all of Syria, but only a small segment of the Syrian population. The focus is partly on a community living under the armed control of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly the Al Qaeda branch in Syria, located in Idlib Province. The other focus is on Syrian refugees living outside of Syria in neighboring countries. The vast majority of Syrians neither moved to Idlib with the terrorists&n...

UNHRC passes arms embargo resolution against the Nazi entity

UNHRC passes arms embargo resolution against Israel with surprise votes IF AMERICANS KNEW.ORG The United Nations Human Rights Council passed a resolution calling for an arms embargo against Israel.

Reposted from The New Arab, [NOTE: In June 2018, the United States withdrew from the UN Human Rights Council, citing an “anti-Israel bias.”] The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) voted in favour on Tuesday of a resolution that called for an arms embargo against Israel....

UN official: ”Israeli settlements damage prospects of a Palestinian stat”

NEW YORK, Thursday, March 25, 2021 UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland said today that the ongoing ''Israeli settlement activities significantly damage prospects for a future, contiguous Palestinian State''. Speaking during the UN Security Council briefing on the Situation in the Middle East, Wennesland said the Jerusalem District Court has denied an injunction to freeze the tendering process for some 1,200 units in the Israeli settlement of Givat Hamatos. He added that the establishment of this new settlement will further consolidate a ring of settlements along the southern perimeter of Jerusalem that would significantly damage prospects for a future, contiguous Palestinian State. Wennesland mentioned Security Council resolution 2334 (2016...

Mexico offers political asylum to Julian Assange

Julian Assange speaks to the media from the balcony of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in May 2017 Mexico has said that it was ready to offer political asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, after a British judge blocked his extradition to the United States to face espionage charges. "I'm going to ask the foreign minister to carry out the relevant procedures to request that the UK government releases Mr Assange and that Mexico offers him political asylum," President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador told reporters. The leftist leader welcomed the British court's rejection of the US request to extradite the 49-year-old Australian publisher due to the risk of suicide, calling it a "triumph of justice". "Assange is a journalist and deserves a chance," he said. Lopez Obrador sa...

UN climate report calls out global elite as cause of the crisis

Tina Landis Download PDF flyer The UN Emissions Gap Report released on Dec. 9, shows how far off the mark we are for averting complete climate catastrophe. Current global emissions reduction policies have us on track for 3.5 C warming by 2100, which would be catastrophic for life on Earth. An average increase of 1.5 C globally is the line that must not be crossed — with current temperatures at an average of nearly 1 C warming. The report takes a surprisingly class perspective by pointing out that the one percent richest people on the planet are responsible for emissions equal to that of the poorest 50 percent of the world’s population. This group would need to reduce its carbon footprint 30 fold just to meet the Paris Agreement commitments. Hottest year...

The US helped create the UN precisely to block antics like Mike Pompeo’s obsession with Iran

https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2020/08/26/us-un-block-antics-mike-pompeo-obsession-with-iran/ by: Assal Rad In late November of 1943, FDR, Churchill, and Stalin met in Iran, which the allied powers had occupied during World War II, in what came to be known as the Tehran Conference — a strategy meeting to combat Nazi Germany and consider a post-war settlement. Another significant outcome of the meeting were conversations addressing the demise of the League of Nations, which had failed to prevent a second world war, and the need for an international body to be established with the mission to nurture world peace. One of the central reasons for the League’s failure was that the United States refused to participate, fearing it would be constrained by international obligati...

UN Says New Polio Outbreak in Sudan Caused by Oral Vaccine

By Maria Cheng These are excerpts of a an AP Report The World Health Organization says a new polio outbreak in Sudan is linked to an ongoing vaccine-sparked epidemic in Chad — a week after the U.N. health agency declared the African continent free of the wild polio virus. In a statement this week, WHO said two children in Sudan — one from South Darfur state and the other from Gedarif state, close to the border with Ethiopia and Eritrea — were paralyzed in March and April. Both had been recently vaccinated against polio. WHO said initial outbreak investigations show the cases are linked to an ongoing vaccine-derived outbreak in Chad that was first detected last year and is now spreading in Chad and Cameroon. “There is local circulation in Sudan and continued sharing of...
