UN Ambassador Haley Calls Human Rights Council ‘Failure’ [VIDEO]

By 1600 Staff

U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said that the United Nations’ Human Rights Council was the “UN. greatest failure”.

The Daily Caller reports:

Haley, along with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, announced the formal withdrawal on June 19, saying the council had become grossly politicized and in turn failed to seriously address any real global human rights concerns.The U.S. called on the organization to reform and make efforts to change these aspects, but their calls were not heeded.

“The Human Rights Council is the U.N.’s greatest failure,” Haley said Wednesday.She reiterated her main two reasons for the withdrawal, the first being the irony that major human rights abusers were themselves on the council, citing Venezuela, Cuba and China specifically.

. . .

Haley claimed the second catalyst for withdrawal was the council’s persistent efforts to delegitimize Israel, referring to the body’s Agenda Item 7: “Human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories.”She noted that no other country has an entire agenda dedicated to it besides Israel, which Haley says reveals the council’s undeserving bias and failure to acknowledge other real issues. Haley explained the council’s inability to make a positive difference in the lives of those who need it by citing the human rights violations occurring in Venezuela, which will not ever be seriously fixed because the country itself sits on the council.

Haley withdrew recently, citing the absurdity of allowing humans rights abusers to police human rights violations. The group was primarily used as a vehicle to attack our ally Israel, which has become all to common at the United Nations in recent years.  The move marks the Trump Administrations departure from business as usual, and their willingness to shake-up dysfunctional foreign policy institutions that previous administrations have been unwilling to address.

Capn Jack, my sentiments entirely we need the UN out of US and US out of the UN.
US needs to stop funding the UN entirely and tell the UN to find another country to move to.

Doesn’t the UN have another base in Africa or South America?
Wherever it is let them move there, but, get out of America!

Get the U.S. out of the U.N. and get the U.N. out of the U.S.. I don’t care where it goes, but Somalia would be where I would recommend.

Very positive (and overdue) move.
That UN council is a tragic joke. Obama, of course, ignored its obvious faults – probably
because of its anti-Israeli stance.

Disfunctional but not delusional, the UN as it stands today has an agenda. Bozo wanted to be their new leader and did not get it. Guess Soros could not buy the votes. And the agenda of the UN is what Bozo was trying to establish in the US and he would have given control of our government over to that entity. That is a scarey thought. Can you imagine UN as the police of this nation? So those who do not listen to this disfunctional organization in its intent are fools or part of the problem.

We should resign from this joke of a group of nations working for the world. That they are only after their own selfish agendas and that is plural makes the whole principal of this organization tainted and it will never achieve what was intended just like the forerunner the League of Nations Wilson started failed quickly and miserably.

Stop funding it, drop the membership, and kick them out of our country. Just listening to Haley sounds like anyone dealing with lefties here in the US. There is no compromise, it comes down to who has more power only and in the US the deplorables and conservatives who do outnumber the lefties discounting their registered to vote illegal aliens and visa holders who are not voters as well.

In the UN the US is a major country that the UN cannot challenge even with all the ones on the left joining together because there are many on the right who will not aid these leftist. I doubt Haley stands alone but representing the US she has equal standing to all the big players. Her discussion however falls on too many deaf ears and biased selfish interest. Time to go another direction and form a group dedicated to principals similar to our own. Obviously that excludes the socialist utopia of Valenzuela and its ilk.

I vote we kick the UN OUT of America! They are nothing but a bunch of dictators, & human rights violaters. And, they’re fixing to try to take guns away from American citizens. Supposedly the US has signed the Small Arms Treaty which is nothing more than a move to take guns away from law abiding citizens!

What is the PURPOSE of the United Nations?

Provide its so-called “diplomats” with thousand dollar suits, chauffeur driven limousines and access to under-age s*x workers without fear of arrest.

Get rid of Israel.

That sums it up.

The kids don’t need to be at our borders at all. The caring moms could do the paperwork and go through the process and enter legally, and they would have no problems. I can’t imagine taking my son with me while I was commiting a crime.
We deserve legal immigrants that live America like we do.

Ray Hill you are an idiot. That is not what we are talking about here. There is no human rights violation when children are separated from their mothers at the border. The mothers are violating the laws of the United States. It has been determined children will not be detained with their parents while waiting trial for violating the law.

That is a crock! Those people knew before they came in that they would be separated from their children. What are we supposed to do – just let anyone who wants to come in have a free ride and enjoy all the benefits that we have worked for ? NOT!

Ray, Perhaps you should inform them that they can continue to suckle their babies if they enter the US in a lawful manner. Until you do that you might as well crawl back under your sewer stained libtard rock and spare us your mindless drivel.

These parents who bring their children with them as they try to commit the crime of illegally entering the united states do not have a leg to stand on when seeking sympathy. Enter legally or not at all. It is just that simple. The story I have heard is that they are all seeking asylum and are given a date to come back for court and they are fitted with bracelets so they can be tracked. That part about the bracelets is a load of crap and even if they had the tacking devices they would remove them right away because they are not coming back to court anyway. These immigrants are not as stupid as we give them credit for but we are.

The bankers certainly have a strangle hold on the govt since the Fed is probably the greatest Ponzi scheme in history. Where does money come from? It is not natural so it does not grow on trees, can’t fish for it, etc.. Leaving govt as the source of money. So what is the govt doing borrowing money from private owned banks? Where did the banks get the money to lend the money to the govt? The bankers actually only get credit for lending money. So they can get paid interest for lending the govt money. This actually is putting the taxing power of the govt to private use. What a sweetheart deal, And I suspect this is a knockoff of how the banking system worked during the age of royalty in Europe?

Islamophobia= having the knowledge to KNOW what Muslims are and what they beleive. A Muslims duty is to hold JIHAD against every Non-Muslim and it is a Muslims OBLIGATION to LIE to further Allah commandments. See Sharia Law #2 and #1 The ask yourself, IF muslims are so nice etc how come Sura 5:33 says Muslims are to KILL Oppossers of Allah. How come a Mulsim is NOt to make friends w/Jews or Christians? See Sura 5:51-55 Islam is not a religion, it is a form of Govt and it uses religion as a cover of disguise! Never forget, Islam kills it’s own people, remember the Iran/Iraq war were 8 million muslims died in battle.

All nations should he held responsible for their actions and not get a pass if they have a jihad against other nations that do try and curb human rights. It is perhaps necessary that it be established what are the human rights that are not to be violated? A good starting place to define them would be a Bill of Rights. Plus no abortions.

Obama to the rescue? Ya right? Obama couldn’t do anything good in the 8 years of being the so-called President. So how is he ever going to rescue anyone or anything? He did not even try to save all of the Christians in the Middle East as ISIS was killing Christian Man Women and children. All i see in Obama is an Islamic Terrorist.

Our Ambassador Nikki Haley is 100% on the UN’s Human Rights Council being a Failure, a Better Name would be the “Inhuman Rights”. When the worst Rogues in History are sitting on the HR Council, pontificating against America, Israel & every other Civilized Country, then the time has come to Defund & Decry the Third World UN. What a Boondoggle it has become & is of no value to America.

The delegates certainly don’t want to move, which I agree with they should move, but they have gotten used to all the creature comforts that living in the U.S.A. provides compared to their home countries. They enjoy all the diplomatic protections and immunity by staying in the U.S. and avoid punishment for their underhanded misdeeds. Good for Amb Haley, shake things up as it is needed!!

Check out Uganda ruled by Crooked Yoweri Museveni for 32 years. UN just showered Crooked Yoweri with praise and expanded its presence with more offices, bigger budget — after rejecting democratic Kenya next door! May be they will move to Uganda and accelerate the corruption, state-run murders and kickbacks.

Give the UN two weeks to vacate to premises and if they are not out in that time, confiscate everything still in there and use it to support our homeless vets! Don’t take NO for an answer or agree to give them extra time to get out! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
