Wikileaks Exposes Secret Deal To Get Saudi Arabia On UN Human Rights Council
Submitted by Michaela Whitton via TheAntiMedia.org,
Two years after the controversial appointment of Saudi Arabia to the U.N. Human Rights Council, leaked diplomatic cables have revealed the U.K. was a key player in the election of the Gulf State - despite the Saudis’ appalling human rights record.
The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHCR) is tasked with the promotion and protection of human rights throughout the world. What’s remarkably under-reported (yet unsurprising) is the claim that notorious human rights abuser, Saudi Arabia, pledged $1 million to UNHRC prior to winning the blood-stained seat.
What is surprising is the next chapter in the farcical saga.
In a classic case of you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours, the leaked cables ? translated by U.N. Watch ? allege that a secret vote trading deal was made by Britain and Saudi Arabia to ensure both countries were elected to the council.
Passed to Wikileaks in June, the classified files refer to Saudi talks with British diplomats prior to the November 2013 vote in New York.
One read: “The delegation is honoured to send to the ministry the enclosed memorandum, which the delegation has received from the permanent mission of the United Kingdom asking it for the support and backing of the candidacy of their country to the membership of the human rights council (HRC) for the period 2014-2016, in the elections that will take place in 2013 in the city of New York.”
The leaked files then elaborate on the trading of “support” between the two countries:
“The ministry might find it an opportunity to exchange support with the United Kingdom, where the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would support the candidacy of the United Kingdom to the membership of the council for the period 2014-2015 in exchange for the support of the United Kingdom to the candidacy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
Hillel Neuer, executive director of U.N. Watch, said, “Based on the evidence, we remain deeply concerned that the UK may have contracted to elect the world’s most misogynistic regime as a world judge of human rights.” The latest glimpse into Britain’s shoulder-rubbing with prolific human rights violators was revealed as the Saudi kingdom pummels Yemen for the sixth month and Saudi blogger Raif Badawi languishes behind bars for writing about democracy.
As the kingdom that has beheaded over 100 people this year prepares to crucify a 17-year-old for taking part in demonstrations, Britain’s insincere boasting about being a strong promoter of human rights sounds more hollow than ever.

They forgot to invite North Korea, too . . .
British hypocracy and and Saudi despotism arent strange bedfellows.
Whatever happened with the naked guy jumping out of Buckingham Palace? https://youtu.be/F_qF-eCANuE
Here is what happened.

Damn that's distubing but sadly not surprising. Speaking of sadistic pedophiles and losers.... A Saudi royal was arrested in California recently after a "naked and bleeding woman" running from their compound drew the attention of wealthy neighbors. These people are sick.... God help our children.

Beware of powers that operate and regulate freely without accountability (and audit).
Why them no-good, slimey limeys! Is there no one they will not bend over in front of?
Human rights and the UN?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
But, at least North Korea does not hold weekly public beheadings in the town square or stone women to death. Maybe close but not quite as bad.
@Never One Roach
you should read "escape from camp 14" by Blaine Harden.
One of the most disturbing books I ever read.
Easy to see where the center of pure fucking evil exists.
you mean...
...London?
The entire worldwide political system where politicians sell out for any price and being a politician only means corruption.
Almost all of them are dumb as shit, pedo's, criminals, killers, future dictators, sociopaths and mobsters.
We live in a world where it's everybody against each other.
And we have the audacity to question the 1930's Germans......."how could they let Hitler rise to power??".
You really can't make this shit up!
"Hillel Neuer, executive director of U.N. Watch"
Fucking Zios everywhere. We're fucked.

Off topic. This post is not about the "evil in the world in general". It is about Saudi Arabia On UN Human Rights Council.
When he referred to the center of evil he meant: London.
Hope that helps a bit to concenrate your wandering and uncontrolled mind.
Oh yes, The Empire of the City.
This guy had it right.

It begins with a Pig and a poke
Wait to see when they'll give Saudis the Nobel Peace Prize
And Britain was put in charge of protecting the children from pedophiles.
Time to burn the whole thing down.

The UK has a huge pedophile problem. Google Jimmy Savile, Oxfordshire paedophile gang, etc.
That is kind of why I wrote that.
You know, for the irony.
It also has a 'fucking a dead pig' problem.
That one even made me cringe. Must be he was trying to make up for coming in second in the "how many marbles can I hold in my ass" contest?

Twas the bookend to Skull & Bones.

Speaking of paedophiles (misnomer - there's no love there,) odd that the Brits control the 'trade routes' (read: human trafficking routes) through African colonies (remember Boko Haram) with the WWF. That's how the rebel gangs got to Rwanda, how the rhino horns get out of S. Africa, and how the abducted girls and boys get to Europe (whatever happened to #bringbackourgirls) - WWF protected areas.
Jimmy Saville had an 'in' with some high-ups. Maybe did some big game hunting along the way.
Don't forget Cameron sticking his dick in a dead pig's mouth
John Oliver beautifully “roasts” alleged pig-lover David Cameronhttp://qz.com/512303/john-oliver-beautifully-roasts-alleged-pig-lover-da...
Wait a minute! Was the pig of age and did it identify as human? These questions demand answers!
#everypigmatters
I was once asked in an interview if I ever dick-tickled a pig's epiglottis.
I can't believe anyone ever had to say YES.

Remember the pig jumping out of Camerons pocket on the cover of the Economist?

Anyone surprised?
Human rights are a big business in London. See also that farcical "Syrian human rights observatory" that has its location there and essentially serves as a multi-purpose "source" for invented civilian casualties which Assad/Putin/Iran are ritually blamed for in the western media.
You think this news will go anywhere beyond ZH and a few like minded sites? You think it will make it to prime time and anyone will care? Me neither. The West desperately needs to get its face smashed. From government to individual citizen, everyone is either too corrupt or too complaisant.
Reminds me of what V said about looking for the guilty.
You need only look into a mirror.
pods
Reminds me of when people want to do something but are waiting for someone else to stand up first. Problem is when you stand up first everyone else says you are nuts for standing up. We all want someone to act to get the ball rolling. But then we look at them funny like they are idiots and are gonna get themelves jailed or worse... killed.
I suppose a leader with no followers is just a man out for a walk.
I like walks.
But, to your point I always see how when someone attacks the system how well the system defends itself and turns public opinion against them in a cocaine heartbeat.
Take Joe Stack. He could have been any ZH'er and he was crucified right away.
I have come to the conclusion that I don't want anyone following me. What benefit is it to have someone who cannot think on my side as opposed to them being against me?

Read his rant. Pretty much spot on. Too bad he couldn't take down the entire IRS.
It is impossible to take down the system from within and certainly not single-handedly. The tree of liberty and all that... I hoped for a long time the internet was the answer. I was wrong. It kind of is in a way, but, oh wait... Someone just posted on facebook, be right back...
Kinda like Frank the Tank on Old School, when he went streaking....
I wonder why the Bush's are such great friends with the royal famly. Laura seems so nice.
There is a special hell for these people.
There are only 22 countries in the world Britain has NOT invaded.
And British womem are the ugliest in the world.
I don't know what it worse.
Why do you think British men went around the world to invade other countries? a) to be away from their ugly women and b) to find pretty ones elsewhere.
British women are beautiful.
More than a few are. Anyone who says they are not attractive has no clue. Sadly, their middle class is being destroyed like the rest of Europe and America.
So they end up like this:

They can take charge of FIFA next.
The corruption is already in place.
HRC ...what a funny coincidence.
What else is new? Metaphorically, everywhere you look, Dracula has been in charge of the blood bank for years.
They'll make sure that killing somebody for religious will become normal.
And fast foreward a few years
And if a muslim kills a christians because if he says that he was insulted by a infidel, it will be all legal and the family of that christian dog wikl have to pay a compensation to that muslim.
Sounds stupid he?
So is our entire political system.
Fuck that shit!!
England has lost it. Winston Churchill and Margrette Thatcher must be spinning in their after life. The entire western world has been handed over to a pack of morons. It is truly a sad thing to watch. The future looks increasingly bleak. Beam be up Scotty......
Thatcher and Churchill were similar banksters' puppets as any others, they were just better actors. Time to wake up.
Thatcher supported dodgy arms deals with Saudi Arabia. Probably a fair amount of commission was provided to facilitate the deal. She would not provide any impediment to Saudi Arabia's wishes, providing there was plenty of bongo to go around. Churchill would probably love ISIS given the sort of things its is doing to Arabs.
Bingo we have a winner Saudi Arabia is the largest arms purchaser on the planet and Britain is its principal supplier.
Bingo we have a winner Saudi Arabia is the largest arms purchaser on the planet and Britain is its principal supplier.
Churchill must bear a considerable burden of culpability for the bloodletting of WW I. Read Patrick Buchanan's book.
Might as well put the CEO head as the head of the treasury. Whoops! Its already been tried. (That ended well)
Makes sense if you realize that Britain is turned into Britainstan.
So is the country noted for American Exceptionalism: http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/Pages/CurrentMembers.aspx
/sarc off (just in case)
Of course, and what people should really pay attention to is the multi-decade long Al-Yamamah oil for weapons deal that's been going on.
It provides the UK with a terrorist slush fund, and Saudi Arabia with weapons for terrorists. Like Al-Qeada and 9/11.
The British Empire never faded, it just lured America's elite (along with other world elite) to join it and put a new friendly face on it. A face that now is seen in the same light as the previous. (I wonder why... same policies)
Of course the criminal banks are more then happy to handle all this money coming and going for the dastardly deeds.
The UK will do what it likes, 9/11... giving Bush lies for Iraq... Wall Street/The City.... and much more terror.... climate change... the crimes of the UK around the world are nearly endless, and their stooge Obama (just like Bush) is happy to go along with it.

WTF is a cable?!!??! Every time something is leaked, it's a "cable." Is this some kind of communication that was invented after ticker tape, but before phones? Is this what the NWO uses instead of email?
I'm sure Mr. Neuer would have no problem with Israel being on the council.
indeed, the story with him is he just hates it when Israel is criticized for *anything*. Even when Israeli soldiers themselves, along with Jewish Israeli rights groups criticize actions that are incredibly well-documented.
He's right, but for the wrong reasons.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillel_Neuer
""UN Watch" also got angry with me this week over a report I produced which criticized the pro-Israel group. In addition, please note that Zionist Hillel Neuer seems to be making headway with getting the UN Rappateur for Palestine, Professor Richard Falk ousted from his UN position.
Having said this, getting the UN Human Rights Council to vote on Falk's credibility, based on his skepticism about 9/11, seems that it could backfire on "UN Watch", if the whole world votes to keep him in his position. It would be a de facto endorsement of Falk's 9/11 skepticism and defence of Palestinian self-determination."

"In his recent article, “Libya and the Big Lie: Using Human Rights Organizations to Launch Wars,” Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya writes:
One of the main sources for the claim that Qaddafi was killing his own people is the Libyan League for Human Rights (LLHR). The LLHR was actually pivotal to getting the U.N. involved through its specific claims in Geneva. On February 21, 2011 the LLHR got the 70 other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to sent letters to the President Obama, E.U. High Representative Catherine Ashton., and the U.N. Secretary-General Ban-ki Moon demanding international action against Libya invoking the “Responsibility to Protect” doctrine.
According to the Jerusalem Post, however, the 70 “rights groups” were organised by UN Watch, whose executive director Hillel Neuer, was quoted as saying that:
“the muted response of the US and the EU to the Libyan atrocities is not only a let-down to the many Libyans risking their lives for freedom, but a shirking of their obligations, as members of the Security Council and the Human Rights Council, to protect peace and human rights and to prevent war crimes.”
The Post article does not mention, however, that UN Watch is affiliated with the American Jewish Committee, a key component of the Israel lobby. "

Look a this cuck;
Hillel Neuer, executive director of U.N. Watch, said, “Based on the evidence, we remain deeply concerned that the UK may have contracted to elect the world’s most misogynistic regime as a world judge of human rights.”
Yeah, they do treat women like shit and that does need to change. But they CUT THE HEADS OFF OF MEN. Which is a little bit more disturbing then, honey you't can drive the Lambo.

Thatcher and Churchill were similar banksters' puppets as any others, they were just better actors. Time to wake up.
I started reading Churchill's history of WWII. I got as far as the third volume before I started to reaslise the writer was just glossing over disagreements he had with people and was covering up mistakes he had made.
All Politicians are for sale. Its because, unless they are, they will never get into positions of real power. The money changers make sure of that.
