(CNSNews.com) – A group of United Nations’ member-states on Thursday elected the Assad regime to a leadership post of a special committee dealing with decolonization, sparking protests from a human rights group that had earlier urged U.N. secretary-general Ban Ki-moon to intervene.
At a meeting in New York, the committee’s newly-elected chairman, Venezuelan ambassador Rafael Ramirez, asked the member-states whether there were any objections to putting forward Syrian ambassador Bashar Ja’afari as its “rapporteur” for the coming year.
Hearing no objectives, Ramirez declared Ja’afari – as well as three nominated vice chairmen, the representatives of Cuba, Sierra Leone and Indonesia – “elected by acclamation.”

ReplyDeleteThe committee – full name, Special Committee on the Situation with Regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples...
Where in the world has global common sense gone? This dictator on a committee for 'granting of independence'. How much more laughable can the U.N. get., for crying out loud? Not to mention that we fund over 20% of the damned thing.
that's a hoot - can he do it behind the RED LINE?
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to despise and defund the UN. Its Rainbow warrior central
ReplyDeleteDefund the UN and seize all property they have in New York and close it up and kick them out of NY. Will save Tax dollars on the upkeep. Plus get rid of all these tickets ect that Diplomats owe
ReplyDeleteU.N. OBummers next stop.
ReplyDeleteU.N. = useless
ReplyDeleteWe should bow out of the UN, but please don't believe the propaganda from the US government on this issue. There are obviously other countries who support Assad, and sometimes, so do I. He's so much a better choice than the Taliban, ISIS(L) Hamas, the list is endless...
