UN Agency UNESCO Declines To Remove Syria From Human Right Committee

[Fury]

(LA Times) — A UNESCO commission Thursday condemned the violence against civilians in Syria but did not remove the embattled nation from its human rights committee, as the U.S. and other nations had hoped.

The United States and other countries want Syria removed from the group’s Committee on Conventions and Recommendations, which handles human rights issues, because of the crackdown by forces loyal to President Bashar Assad during the yearlong uprising against his government.

The U.S. “is profoundly disappointed that this resolution does not call for outright removal” of Syria from the committee, Ambassador David Killion said, according to the Associated Press.

The commission of the executive board of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization voted 35-8 to condemn the crackdown on civilians in Syria. The resolution is scheduled to go before the executive board’s plenary session Friday.

The UN is good for one thing, to point and laugh at.

Help balance the budget by defunding the UN.

Amazing how many tards on this board still like pimping the UN.

We watched The Whistleblower last night which is based on Kathryn Bolkovac's story and the UN ignoring the child slavery.

What a great organization. 

[Shockwave]

The UN is just another corrupt organization like anything else, just international thugs instead of national ones.
We need to tell the U.N. to go fuck themselves and GTFO, the problem is everyone still looks at the UN through Idealistic glasses, refusing to accept that they arent "bringing the world together" like they are supposed to do. 
The UN is broken and needs to die.
