Not all cultures are alike therefore each country leadership has a population which they determine the rights or not of their citizens. Some of these cultures have populations prone to violent behavior, or a vast majority believe in taking what you can get. Human rights don’t enter their minds. So a stronger hand is needed for some more than others.
I recall missionaries speaking about this and how changing the dynamics of a culture because we think it’s better for them often creates more problems and difficulties for the people overall....

Withdraw ALL financial support from the UN and tell them to find another country to meet in.

Since that council is ant-Israel and favor’s the criminal over the victim.

Get the U.S. Out of the U.N., and Get the U.N. Out of the U.S., Already! The new U.N.H.Q. can be in, either, Somalia, or North Korea!

Please tell me this is a prelude to the USA leaving the UN proper. Probably not. Should be, though. Followed by ejecting that misguided and misbegotten body from these shores. And razing their building to the ground and redeveloping the site.

Kenneth Roth lambasted the President for caring about Israel.
It shows what a joke Human Rights Watch has become defending a body dominated by regimes that abuse human rights.
Which the UNHRC, thanks to its blind obsession with Israel, isnt defending.

walnut trees would be fine, once mature, fresh nuts every year for the locals, and when the tree dies, gun stocks for the rest of us. LOL
another high rise in an urban zoo with thousands of the things seems like through good money after bad, IMO.

I would recommend an Antarctic Ice sheet for UN HQ, but maybe I’m too harsh . . . LOL

“Look at the council membership and you see an appalling disrespect for human rights, she said, citing member countries China, Venezuela, Russia, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Egypt”

That may be too optimistic, but we have in fact cut financial donations significantly already under Trump, and more may be on the way.

So how much money do we stop sending the UN? That’s what I want to know. We need to stop sending them any money until this stuff changes. What would they do about it if the checks stop?
