Secretary General Guterres Sidesteps Criticism of UN Failures on Human Rights

What is clear is the prospect of further damage to the UN's already shaky credibility

Three cases of human rights abuses reared their ugly head again this week. The United Nations’ role has been called into question, including the responses of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to the criticisms.

The first human rights case involves Myanmar. The Free Rohingya Coalition criticized Secretary General Guterres and former UN Resident Coordinator in Myanmar Renata Lok-Dessallien for failing to safeguard thousands of Rohingya, an ethnic Muslim minority, in Myanmar. The group cited the findings in a 36-page official report entitled “A brief and independent inquiry into the involvement of the United Nations in Myanmar from 2010 to 2018,” prepared by former Guatemalan Foreign Minister and UN diplomat Gert Rosenthal, which chronicled what the report described as the UN’s “systemic failures.” The report, published last Monday, found that the UN system overall had been “relatively impotent to effectively work with the authorities of Myanmar, to reverse the negative trends in the areas of human rights, and consolidate the positive trends in other areas.”

What are you saying? My opinion is the largest voting bock of the UN is the OIC.
Islam hosts the greatest oppression of the human spirit which is represented in their successes at being turd word nations sporting the highest illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, and least social infrastructure.

love the sweet smell of success!!!
Rah rah islam!
