Scandal-Plagued UN Commission Disbands Amid Increasing US Pressure Against Anti-Israel International Organizations

The Commission of Inquiry (COI), a controversial United Nations commission investigating Israel for nearly five years, has collapsed after all three of its members abruptly resigned days after the United States sanctioned a senior UN official over antisemitism.

Commission chair Navi Pillay resigned on July 8, citing health concerns and scheduling conflicts. Her fellow commissioners, Chris Sidoti and Miloon Kothari, followed suit days later. While none of the commissioners directly linked their resignations to the US sanctions, the timing suggests mounting American pressure played a decisive role.

The resignations came just one day before the Trump administration announced sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian territories. Albanese was sanctioned over what the State Department called a “pattern of antisemitic and inflammatory rhetoric.” She had previously claimed that the US was controlled by a “Jewish lobby” and questioned Israel’s right to self-defense. The sanctions bar her from entering the US and freeze any assets under American jurisdiction.

The resignations mark a major victory for critics who have long viewed the inquiry as biased and politically motivated.

The UN needs to disband. For the sake of the United States, we have got to outlaw the UN and force them, and all their mongrel dogs, out of North America. At the very least, out of the United States.

The UN is a threat to American sovereignty. Time for those clowns to go back to their third world hideouts.

Yes.

But note, this morning the Syrian regime in Damascus is taking a pounding on their military center. They had taken a lot of the Syrian ground forces, and attacked the Druze communities next to Israel. Israel is bombing the crap out of Demascus. They have an agreement for protection with Druze elements in Lebanon and near Israel.

Israel vs Syria has not been declared, but Israel is preempting a lot, due to Syrian military butchery of Druze.

Our Fed Gov has a fine constitution that has been twisted.

But the UN has never been founded on such a base.

Our constitution will only work for a moral honest population.

At the UN, the Insane are running the Asylum.

No hope of recovery.
