Saudi Arabia Forces The UN To Drop Humanitarian Inquiry Into Yemen Atrocities
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
The following would be funny, if it weren’t so incredibly sad. The United Nations’ spiral into clownish insignificance continues unabated.
From the New York Times:
GENEVA — In a U-turn at the United Nations Human Rights Council, Western governments dropped plans Wednesday for an international inquiry into human rights violations by all parties in the war in Yemen that has killed thousands of civilians in the last six months.
The change of direction came as the Netherlands withdrew the draft of a resolution it had prepared with support from a group of mainly Western countries that instructed the United Nations high commissioner for human rights to send experts to Yemen to investigate the conduct of the war.
That proposal was a follow-up to recommendations by the commissioner, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, who detailed in a report this month the heavy civilian loss of life inflicted not only by the relentless airstrikes of the military coalition led by Saudi Arabia but also by the indiscriminate shelling carried out by Houthi rebels.
But in the face of stiff resistance from Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners, and to the dismay of human rights groups, Western governments have accepted a resolution based on a Saudi text that lacks any reference to an independent, international inquiry.
“The result is a lost opportunity for the council and a huge victory for Saudi Arabia, protecting it from scrutiny over laws of war violations which will probably continue to be committed in Yemen,” said Philippe Dam, deputy director of Human Rights Watch in Geneva.
To the consternation of human rights groups, the consensus approach coincides with evidence of sharply rising civilian casualties in Yemen. Mr. Hussein’s spokesman reported on Tuesday that the number of known civilian casualties since late March had risen to more than 7,217, including 2,355 people killed.
The civilian toll from airstrikes was “starkly underlined” by report s that more than 130 people had been killed at a wedding party in Taiz, the spokesman, Rupert Colville, said. The United Nations was trying to confirm what had happened, he said.Mr. Dam of Human Rights Watch was disappointed.
“This was the time to put the parties to this conflict under scrutiny for human rights violations,” he said. “Human Rights Council members have failed to send a clear message to Saudi Arabia and to the Houthis that they have to change the conduct of hostilities.”
Well yeah, what did you expect to happen after the UN named Saudi Arabia to head its human rights panel?

UN is a joke
OK, so what's the big deal? It's simply another Iran WMD inspection type program where they'll do the inspections themselves and then tell the rest of the world what they want the rest of the world to hear.
Heavens, y'all thought something was gonna get done with KSA at the helm of the Humanitarian Commission?
Silly boys, swords are for be-headings.
SOP, NWO, The New Normal, all over again.
Lies and propaganda against a non-enemy. According to published details of the deal which is published by the U.S. government, IAEA inspectors would have access to all of the nuclear facilities including enrichment facilities, the supply chain that supports the nuclear program and uranium mines as well as continuous surveillance at uranium mills, centrifuge rotors and bellows production and storage facilities. Iran will be required to grant access to the IAEA to investigate suspicious sites or allegations of a covert enrichment facility, conversion facility, centrifuge production facility, or yellowcake production facility anywhere in the country.
Lemme guess, you were an Iraq war cheerleader back in the day.
Thank the UK for getting these barbarians onto the UNCHR.
So basically people wearing robes bombing people wearing burkas?
And the west is funding both?
Hmmm... those Saudi's do seem like a USA ally.
https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2015/country-chapters/saudi-arabia
Actually both Saudis and ISIS are US allies, just vary in degrees in "upfront-ness". I don't think GW would be kissing ISIS leaders like he was Saudis, but we have still been supporting them.
This is a good thing. The more clownish and stupid the UN appears, the less people will respect it, and the more people in the US will demand an end to our support of, and participation in, the United Nations. This is good news, I hope to hear more and more things like this.
Image what Hitler would have done if he had the UN to manipulate
"Iran WMD inspection type program where they'll do the inspections themselves"
Nope. Looks like they bullshitted you. At issue was sample testing for explosives at a military site, with no centrifuges or radioactive material, where it was alleged that 12 years ago, involved testing specific kind of explosives used as triggers in certain types of nuclear weapons.
They are not "doing their own inspections" of nuclear sites.
I thought you were smarter than this on Iran.

Still no evidence Iran is working on or planning to work on a nuclear weapon, by the way. And of course, Israel still refuses inspections and is increasingly made up of ultra-orthodox and Jewish fundamentalists.
But *that*'s okay, right?

"The change of direction came as the Netherlands withdrew the draft of a resolution" ? Nothing about that in "our" newspapers
It would almost make you believe that President so-n-so is fundamentally changing America by allowing KSA's rivals make nukes while KSA is tied down financing a jihad in Syria and a fighting a real war on its own border. Rather than just look at the chaos the west if creating in Syria as a means of taking down Assad perhaps we are missing the game of taking down KSA instead. One wonders, that if this is true, who else might be on the chopping block.
Forward Flexibility.
"where they'll do the inspections themselves "
This was debunked - over and over and over.
There are a LOT of naive people who imagine wonderful things about the U.N. that club of governments we set up after WWII.
Seems that SA is getting a pass this time since they are next on the 'list'... UN needs them focused on fighting the eebull tewwoists (russia, china, iran) from killing the shit out of them.
The Arabs love coming to NYC UN meetings and partying and boozing it up before they return to their sand dunes.
They party at home anyway. Rules are only for little people.

If the UN's general assembly is such an important event, why not have it in Somalia or Burundi? Then let's see how many of these UN fucks show up along with their mistresses to fuck up two weeks' of 100s of thousands of hard working commuters. Joke is on us, as always.
If only Kim Jong Un was elected to rule the UN this shit wouldn't happen as he's the least serial killer of them all...
Per wiki : "A serial killer is a person who murders three or more people, usually due to abnormal psychological gratification, with the murders taking place over more than a month and including a significant break (a "cooling off period") between them."
Does killing by drone count?
I forgot I was talking to a American public. If Kim would live in America you would call him a patriot and a president.
Kim has many doppelgängers.....
"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets."

No the EU is a joke not able to stand up when the US ask them to back off from the Saudis. Bunch of motherf*krs
"who detailed in a report this month the heavy civilian loss of life inflicted not only by the relentless airstrikes of the military coalition led by Saudi Arabia"
It was found to be just a coincidence that the report was to be 28 pages and had nothing to do with the cancellation.

When we learn how completely our opinions are controlled, we will be able to resist and reverse the evil these people do to us.

Ain't nobody doin shit to me.
while you are correct
it is far too late
the powers we are dealing with are not of this dimension - i'm not going to do anyones homework...it is out there for all to find for themselves
humans are particularly gullible and mostly cowards this condition has been exploited by a small subset of "power brokers"
while we all have the potential to awaken to the "dance" - most don't, can't or won't.
in the book "the once and future king" - the one question King Arthur seeks clarity on is, "are humans decent at the core?"
and while i am convinced we are gullibly fearful cowards (mostly) - i, too, struggle with this question - the needle tends to lean towards no....sure we all love our own biological children, but that is easy and does not count wrt what i speak of.
The UK's Cameron is the pigFucker who made a deal with Saudi Arabia to get them to head the UN Human Rights panel. And they wonder why the people are supporting Corbyn in droves.

Like to see Cameron rty to shake hands with a Arab now!
Pull my finger, pull my meat, I stuck it in a pig, ain't that neat!
When the readers of the 'hang-em-and-flog-em' Daily Mail are left speechless by the venality of the UK government, you know something is seriously wrong.

The entire world sees the lack of consequences for US, UK, Israeli, Saudi, and Turkish war crimes.
Even as they frame every resistance to their aggression as terror.

"The recommendations to the Israeli government to sabotage the peace process in Palestine are presented by the authors of Clean Break as part of a larger plan to allow Israel to “shape its strategic environment”, by “removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq”, weakening Syria and Lebanon, and finally Iran. When Perle, Feith and Wurmser moved to key positions in the U.S. government, they arranged for the United States to implement the program themselves, without Israel having to pay a single drop of blood. If there are differences between the Clean Break report written for the Israeli government in 1996 and the report Rebuilding America’s Defenses written by the same authors for the U.S. government in 2000, it is not in the program itself, but rather the argued reasons. First, Clean Break does not have Iraq as a threat, but as the weakest of the enemies of Israel, the least dangerous and the easiest to break. In a follow-up to Clean Break, entitled Coping with Crumbling States: A Western and Israeli Balance of Power Strategy for the Levant, Wurmser emphasizes the fragility of Middle East States, particularly Iraq: “the residual unity of the nation is an illusion projected by extreme repression of the state”. Thus the same action of first overthrowing Saddam is recommended to Israel and the United States, but for opposite reasons. The weakness of Iraq, which is the reason for Israel, does not constitute a valid reason for the United States; and so it was therefore necessary to present Iraq to the Americans as a mortal threat to their country. Netanyahu himself authored an article in the Wall Street Journal in September 2002, under the title “The Case for Toppling Saddam”, describing Saddam as “a dictator who is rapidly expanding his arsenal of biological and chemical weapons, who has used these weapons of mass destruction against his subjects and his neighbors, and who is feverishly trying to acquire nuclear weapons”. Nothing of such a threat, however, is mentioned in Israeli internal documents, which also make no mention of any further connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda, nor even Al-Qaeda in general. The perspective on Iraq in Clean Break was the realistic one, while the motives given America was pure propaganda: by the time American troops moved into Iraq, the country had been ruined by a decade of economic sanctions that had not only rendered its army powerless, but also destroyed its once exemplary education and health care systems, taking the lives, according to UNICEF, of half a million children."

Slap back by not attending their shitty, hateful, morally bankrupt movies. Cut the cable, kill your teevee. Why do you think they call it "programming"?
every atrocity, murder, oppression, torture, maiming, ever commited by the sauds is fully supported and condoned by the usa ptb.

They'd still all be in the desert with their goats and camels without oil, they would.
The supply side of this equation is rigged, but we can still do SOMETHING about demand. stop buying 20 mpg SUVs with the "bring home the troops" bumper stickers to boot.

This is the incestuous relationship the U.S. has been beholden to since 1971 that oil and the USD would be inseparable from that year forward.
Saudi Arabia is simply keeping there end of the "Faustian bargain"!
If Saudi Arabia were to ever tell the U.S. it would be selling it's oil in Euros, Yuan and Rubles a "mushroom cloud" as big as Riyadh will appear guaranteed!
You can hate the Saud' "tent dwellers" all you like but the Zionist money lenders have made it clear that "Hotel California"is the last and only place they will be staying as long as Israel, London and the U.S. are still "alive"!
+100. That's the crux of the problem.

It's do it any way you want as long as the banks win. The common folk need to start counting up nooses.
See what happens when you put the worse violators of rules to head the agency which they have a conflict of interest. Just check out what Hank Paulson did with the Treasury.
It's so unconscionable that you have to be unconscious already not to be stunned by it.
Well, you have to ask my accountant about that.
"Offence's gilded hand may shove by justice,
And oft 'tis seen the wicked prise itself

the UN is not spiraling into clownish insignificance. It's been that way since day 1. Putting a country like Saudi Arabia, which barely acknowledges that the class of human known as "women" even exists shows the depths that the buffoonery can reach.
But they were all bad.

Communist Programming
All economies begin with a craft and end with a cheap toy, or vice versa from the quantum perspective. Europe began WWII as a cheap toy, and still is; America has become nothing more than a cheap toy; and all the rest of the nation/states are cheap toys accordingly, trapped with no exit, so off to war they go, telling their tin soldiers whatever they need to hear.
I came from a place far and long ago, when programming and machine building was a craft, and the bankers running COBOL were just getting their foot into the door. Back then you learned to craft, which required an understanding of circuits, machine language, assembler, interpreter, all of it. The bankers hated that, because it wasn’t efficient, it didn’t bankrupt economies in their favor.
You know you are in a communist black hole when all the choices are false – leasing or buying a new car, personal car or public transportation, union or non-union infrastructure. The shortest distance between points A and B is C, because there is always a hierarchy of communist gangs between where you are and where you are going.
“On the street? I’ll trade you first the money in your pocket and then your entire SS check for heroin.” Communism depends upon depravity and therefore produces depravity. What is all that US weaponry getting you, now that the American communists have merged with all the rest, and the carpetbaggers have taken over the ‘world’ again, running it into the ground?
The old-timers of my day, having survived the depression, engineered equipment for WWII, and built their own businesses, told me all about economics, because I went to listen. In depravity, it’s hard to listen, so the first step is always to get the distance from communism required to filter it out, and then learn to filter it out as you enter its interior. Space travel is the same problem, which is why NASA is going about it the hardest way possible.
I never belonged to a gang, except the one I formed, with the smartest guys I could find, a physicist, an engineer, an architect, a mathematician and a small businessman. When programmers became special experts for the bankers, working 60 hours/wk and going to school 40 hours/wk, to learn the latest and dumbest programming language, software became just another stupid communist game, of assembling gangs of income/rent low bidders, to build cheap toys. The only difference between Asteroids and what you see now are the number of make-workers driving real estate inflation.
There is no free lunch. The communists take your children hoping to program them to be faithful little communists, a dead short, and that you will waste all your time fighting them, growing GDP for the accountants and lawyers hired for the purpose, turning a garden into a desert. That’s public education for you, beginning at the hospital with Obamacare, run by Nazis for Nazis.
Bernie Sanders, NIRP, a cashless society and a $20T promise, anything to avoid responsibility – crack me up. All you really need to know is cash in circulation relative to credit at your position. And if you need confirmation, just walk across town and out the door, the one which only you can see.

K, N & R are artificial intelligence experts.
With all the bs on the net we need to call it out when we see it. I am interested in human thought not machine thought.

UN?
How about the US? Here's a diddy for you - child soldiers? No problem! If they fight for the Empire, that is:
Pursuant to section 404 of the Child Soldiers Prevention Act of 2008 (22 U.S.C. 2370c-1) (CSPA), I hereby determine that it is in the national interest of the United States to waive the application of the prohibition in section 404(a) of the CSPA with respect to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, and Somalia; and to waive in part the application of the prohibition in section 404(a) of the CSPA with respect to South Sudan to allow for the provision of International Military Education and Training, and Peacekeeping Operations assistance, and support provided pursuant to section 1208 of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2014, to the extent such assistance or support would be restricted by the CSPA.

Russia should do the world a favor and just hit a couple of Saudi oil fields from a sub as a shot across the bow.
No matter what Russia does, the western, controlled media will spin it as aggression.
The move, then, is to be aggressive -

Oh, and some more hand helds would do very nicely for the people of Yemen currently fighting against SA and the Saudi/US puppet regime.
Wait until the Pentagon's Inquiry into the Hospital bombing blames the medics.
The UN has been a clownish insignificance for a long time already. What will it take to kill it?
Some Saudis with boxcutters and a plane?
Maybe Saudi Arabia knows "enough" and is willing to name names.
More lilkely that just paid for the climb-down. Most high-level Saudis caim that almost any Western politician can be bought off.
Exactly as the League of Nations turned into a joke and failed.
Imagine....
just for a second....
that it is your wife and child about to be massacred....
by these butchers.
Would you still support the US/UK/ZioNazi/Saudi tetrad of death?
The global coercive collectivists at the UN are no judge of anything moral or pragmatic. There cannot be any kind of "atrocity" if worshipers of the islamic cult are being cleansed, especially by other worshipers of the islamic cult. They should be encouraged to do as much as they are capable of this kind of good deed, not criticized and punished for it. Mao, Stalin, Putin etc understand this principle that elimination of the enemies is essential and self-justifying. The real world is no place for the weak and squeamish.
What about evangelical morons who believe something (anything at all, please) in the New Testamant tells them to support Israel? Do they constitute a Cult? Nooooooooo, of course not.
Of course if anyone actually bothered to read "da bibul" they'd understand that the NT is a 100% rejection of the OT. No reason to worship usurers & money-changers, Pharisees & hypocrites.
But your pastor is happy as long as you don't challenge nearly a century of cleverly placed propaganda disguised as dogma.
The governments in Tel Aviv and the corporation of Washington DC are happy about that too. Don't rise up. Don't think critically.
They are ALL primitive mythological cults. The more that they kill and destroy each other in their confined geography, the better for the civilized modern humans in the rest of the world. I would encourage and support them all to eradicate their local enemies, then I would eradicate the last one standing.
"The United Nations’ spiral into clownish insignificance continues unabated."
But it isn't just the UN.
It's clear that Saudi Arabia is the embodiment of all that is evil.
do we really need their oil at this stage?
We should simply pull out of the middle east and commence buying any oil we can't get from within our own borders from Russia, and Iran, and Venezuela.
I'd cut the cord with both Israel and S.A.
So would most Americans if they had a better insight into both of those countries and the nature of the conflicts these past 20 years.
Which is why it is very important for the War Party that the media be, for the most part, absolutely controlled.
I wish we had a candidate who would throw the UN out of NYC and the US and completely de-fund it. Then hang Samantha Power from a lamppost
The should give the UN a new name, like League of Nations or something.
World government investigates itself and declares itself innocent.
I think we are at a defining moment in history.If you look at the league of nations actions
during the thirties you would see some eerie parallels:
The Japanese army invading Manchuria and using it as a cash cow.
Marco Polo bridge incident.Japan invades China.Millions dead...
Italians invade Ethiopia.Same stuff: Italy must have colonies.
Spanish civil war.Germany gets a chance to refine Blitzkrieg.
The list goes on.Some Author accused the west of sleepwalking into ww2.
Here we sleepwalking into ww3.Amazing...
The United Nations is a good idea. The implementation is fully corrupted however, and is therefore un-credible and useless.
Everyone who works for the UN is a joke because they have kowtowed to the power of force and are gullible to the point of idiocy.
IF THE UN REALLY WANTED TO FIX THE WORLD, THEN THEY WOULD FIND A WAY TO GET RID OF THE PARASITES SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF THE WORLD ... the UN would not be a tool of the parasites, as it is now. It would ebdeavor to rid the world of them.
