The U.N.'S Long History Of Failure

 The Versailles settlement had enshrined the sovereign, self-governing nation as the universal political order, but at the same time created a supranational institution that required member states to cede some of their sovereignty, and be bound by its rules and resolutions, which reflected Western political principles and goods like political freedom and human rights.

In 1986 the Soviet bloc got passed a resolution that in effect proscribed the use of human rights abuses as a preterite for UN intervention.

A UN conference on human rights ended up writing a declaration that left out any reference to individual rights such as freedom of speech.

As Dore Gold wrote in Tower of Babel, "The new UN majority had emptied the term 'human rights' of its original meaning and hijacked it to serve its authoritarian political agenda."

The major venue of UN attacks on Israel has been the Orwellian named Human Rights Commission, supposedly reformed in 2004 by changing the name to the Human Rights Council.

In April 2005 the Commission refused to condemn killing in the name of religion, at the same time asserting that criticizing Muslim terrorists was "Defamation of religion." In March 2007, the Council's response to the murders and riots over the Mohammed cartoons was to demand a ban on the defamation of religion, even as it ignored the threats to the human right to free speech.

Perhaps the most revealing example of this moral idiocy occurred in April of 2002, when the UN Human Rights Commission, Dore writes, "Affirmed 'the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to resist Israeli occupation' just after a Hamas suicide bomber killed thirty Israelis celebrating together the Passover Seder."
