UN Watch Report: Watching the U.N. Rot

About

A new UN Watch investigation exposes ideological bias, foreign funding, and ethical misconduct among UN Special Rapporteurs — raising urgent questions about UN accountability and the urgent need for reform. The shocking new report, “From Watchdogs to Ideologues,” reveals a long list of Special Rapporteurs who routinely exhibit extreme ideological bias, take payoffs from authoritarian states, and engage in conduct that in any other professional setting would end careers. Host Cliff May discusses the report with Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of the Geneva-based NGO UN Watch.

Additional topics include Francesca Albanese — described by UN Watch as the “first UN Special Rapporteur in history to have been condemned by France, Germany, Canada, Italy, and the Netherlands for antisemitism, Holocaust inversion, and gross ethical abuses” — UNRWA’s hundreds of connections with terrorist organizations, the incompetence of UN Secretary General António Guterres, and why his successor won’t be an improvement unless the U.S. insists.
