The UN in 1946

(My new American Thinker post)

The world’s self-professed guardians of global order failed in 2011 to save the rebels of Libya from being annihilated by the mad, murderous dictator, Muammar Gaddafi — who, ironically enough — was a member of the Human Rights Council.

In 2007, the U.N. made Iran vice chairman of the Disarmament Commission.

In the same year, Freedom House ranked more than half the 47 members of the Human Rights Council as “unfree” or “partly free.”

In 2008, the U.N. elected as its president Miguel d’Escoto, who won the 1985 Lenin Prize and had served as foreign minister of the communist dictatorship in Nicaragua. Quite a sick joke.

In 2007, the global economic “powerhouse” of Zimbabwe was chosen to head the U.N.’s economic development commission.

Last year, the U.N. wanted the United States to sign its Arms Trade Treaty, which would have surrendered America’s Second Amendment rights, blocked U.S. authority to enter arms trading agreements with its allies, and required the nation to “support weapons collection” and “disarmament” of ex-combatants.
