UN Human Rights Chief at Refugee Summit in NYC Lashes ‘Race-Baiting Bigots’
CNS News ^ | September 20, 2016 | By Patrick Goodenough

(CNSNews.com) – The United Nations' human rights chief on Monday doubled down on his criticism of political leaders who are leery of admitting refugees due to security concerns, labeling them “racists and xenophobes” and saying they would face the judgment of humanity.

Addressing a U.N. summit on refugees and migrants in New York – one day before President Obama hosts another one – U.N. Human Rights Commissioner Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein took direct aim at what have become regular targets of his over recent months.

“The bigots and deceivers, in opposing greater responsibility-sharing [relating to admitting refugees from conflicts like the one in Syria], promote rupture,” Zeid said.

“Some of them may well be in this hall this morning. If you are here, we say to you: We will continue to name you publicly. You may soon walk away from this hall. But not from the broader judgement of ‘we the people’ – all the world's people. Not from us.”

Zeid did not name those he was referring to, but has done so in previous speeches. They include Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and a handful of right-wing European politicians – including some in power, such as the president of the Czech Republic and the prime ministers of Hungary and Slovakia.

Zeid said the U.N. member states present on Monday could change the suffering faced by refugees from conflicts, by promoting “respect, safety and dignity for all.”

“But not when the defenders of what is good and right are being outflanked in too many countries by race-baiting bigots, who seek to gain – or retain – power by wielding prejudice and deceit, at the expense of those most vulnerable,” he said.

Monday’s U.N. summit adopted a consensus declaration expressing countries’ political will to protect the rights of refugees and migrants and share the responsibility for doing so, but stopped short of making any firm commitments.

Instead, it agreed to work towards adopting a global compact on how to share the refugee burden, in 2018.

Tuesday’s summit, to be co-hosted by Obama and U.N. secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, aims higher. The administration wants participants to make new pledges to admit more refugees, to do more to help those who have already been resettled, or to provide more assistance to those countries near conflict-zones that are hosting large numbers of refugees.

The administration recently signaled it will lift the U.S. refugee admission target for the new fiscal year to 110,000, an almost 30 percent increase from the FY 2016 target of 85,000.

The proposal includes a “significantly higher number” from Syria than has been the case in FY 2016 (currently standing at almost 12,000.)

Secretary of State John Kerry told Monday’s event that the U.S. was already the world’s biggest donor of humanitarian assistance and refugee relief. He noted it has resettled more refugees through the U.N. refugee agency’s resettlement program than all other nations combined.

“But we are far from satisfied about that too,” he added. “On the contrary, we are determined to work with all of you to create more opportunities for refugees.”

True.
But when has the UN ever added value?
They stood by and watched as 800,000 Rwandans slaughtered one another, and their Peace Keeper mission soldiers are rapists.
F the UN!

RE: “The UN needs to be shutting down muzzie involved conflicts, not distributing the problems to others.”

Zeid al Hussein bloviating in NYC and lying his soul to a cinder, is exactly why we need to STOP ALL immigration from the ME, and immediately start deporting every illegals or Obama-bootlegged “refugees” that have been let in since 2012!

Maybe they can be relocated to Guam? ;-) Turns out the John Bircher signs I used to see in the rural South in the 60’s were totally On the Mark.

Why are they not doing the common sense thing and shuttling them to the peaceful, charitable, loving muslim countries of the world?

Why not put them in countries where assimilation is not an issue?

They are white culture destroyers.

I disagree. Even if the Saudis, Qataris, Iran, Dubai, et al took millions; we still don’t want any. We don’t want any muslims. This is a Christian Nation. They belong with other muslims. Don’t come back and talk to us. We’re not interested!

sharing the refugee burden? more like paying to import terrorists on our dime to spread the Caliphate..

How stupid are Western civilization’s leaders.. or should I say how complicit are they in this charade?

If we who are opposed to Muslim immigration are bigots then what are those who seem to be doing their level best NOT to take Christians who are refugees?

As for deception: yes, Islam is, has been, and will be “the problem” behind most all terrorism until Christ returns and destroys the caliphate that Antichrist will probably head (the 4th beast will be utterly destroyed).

That’s not deception unless you think telling the truth is deception.

I looked this bastard up and he’s Jordanian. Those race-baiters who won’t take refugees? He must be speaking of the Saudis, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Oman, etc. Maybe the N. African states, too, not sure.

Anyway, until they start lifting Christians out of the war-torn area, there aren’t any refugees being taken by anyone. Those are the real refugees. I wouldn’t mind taking a lot of them.

They are on an all out campaign to stop people from even talking about the dangers of Islamic terrorism.

On the one hand you’ve got people blowing people to smithereens and on the other you’ve got people (gasp) discussing this happening and what to do about it.

Guess which group are the bad ones?

Ignorance is bliss.

Calling people names that don't agree with YOU makes YOU, Commissioner Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, a bigot.

So then because I believe that these Effing Muslims are murdering POS’s, I’m the race baiting bigot.

Well guess what dipshit, It is you and the U.N. that are the race-baiting Bigot’s. You and your pervert jerks that think that you can say and do anything you want to because you think you control the world.

You may think you will win with the neutered pervert Obama working with you, but you will lose. The PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN will not be controlled by the likes of a group of immoral, unethical, foolish jerks like you

We call a spade, a spade. You and your Muslim TERRORIST lovers/supports will be stopped. And the U.N. is the ultimate bunch of racists and Anti-American Bigots.
