UN "complicit" in Uyghar genocide, UN lawyer alleges

[NSP]

I was listening to Maajid Nawaz's show on LBC this afternoon and he was discussing the plight of the Uyghars again and had this UN lawyer on who claimed that the UN was helping the Chinese identify dissidents prepared to speak out about the Uyghar genocide so that the Chinese could imprison their families to put pressure on them to shut up. Some of the dissidents are exciles and now have British citizenship and, according to Maajid, should thus be able to enjoy the protection and support of HMG - which is conspicuously silent.

Using the terms "human rights" and "United Nations" in the same sentence is a bit of an oxymoron, it seems.

The actual LBC interview is available here:-


I gave it a run through the Jarrod filter and nothing came up. This is a repost of a something I put on the EU thread in reference to a comment made about the UN charter but I think it's worth an expanded discussion.

Is the UN fit for purpose? Is it complicit in what is perhaps the biggest atrocity since The Holocaust? Indeed, is China's abuse of the Uyghars a new holocaust...?

If this lady does indeed have the evidence she claims and it does indeed show what she says it does then I'd have to say, "Yes," to all the above. I'd also have to say that the UN is guilty of involvement in criminality and of trying to cover it up.

Is it actually fit for purpose? Should it be binned and rebuilt from the ground up? It should certainly be subjected to deep scrutiny and far-reaching reform, in my opinion.

Note to the howlers: this is in CA for a reason. I would hope that the mods invoke the spirit of Viro Bono and stomp on any idiocy. This is a serious matter for serious discussion. Start a parallel thread in the NAAFI if you want to clown about. That said, a little levity is always good in the midst of a serious, heavy discussion.

How come non of our Muslim brother countries (saudi, iraq iran etc) kick off about the Uyghars. Quite simple its all about the money. Feck off the Chinese and they won't deal with you and those countries know that. Am sure the aforementioned countries have space for these religously persecuted refugees to move in. Problem solved!

As I said in another thread the other day the UN is well past its sell date, sadly. It has been corrupted from both inside and outside, China is not alone in having its hooks into it for its own benefit, all the while it is principally funded by the west. Square that circle.

I dont doubt that what is happening in China to the Uyghars, is reminiscent of Holocaust Labour Camps, and at its heart is Socialism regardless of it being National Socialism or Communist Socialism.

Sadly the political and media class across the western world is largely to weak to challenge it and too leave it.

Socialism in all it's forms is a modern day disease.

I've been saying the same for years.
The UN is about as corrupt as an institution can get, and it's well past time for us to get out.

The UN are almost as pathetic as their predecessors - the League of Nations.
The PRC do not give the smallest flying **** about Uigurs, World Opinion or their own population - they are the last Communists , and are brain dead as they want to keep this poison ongoing.

Fellow Arrse members - this period of our lives is going to shit.
We may be more or less financially prepared for it but - either way - our family and country comes first.

Best ideas for the next 4 months ?

As becomes apparent more and more this is the problem in a nutshell. The gap between the worker and the bosses becomes more pronounced each year, either financially or politically depending on the nation.

The end result is the same the haves will do all they can to maintain the status quo in their favour. look at the bureaucrats in Brussels, the MPs circling the wagons when their privileges and perks are threatened or the senior officers in the military and police waiting until their pensions and seat on the board are secure before sounding off about how rotten the system is.

I may sound like a student lefty but I'm far from it.

It will end in tears sooner or later and for those who upset the Chinese sooner.

We could start planning for the revolution.

The problem with that is that they are not refugees; they are prisoners.

Giving Saudi the chair of the human rights council should have raised a massive red flag around the world.

Many Muslim countries depend on China for trade, political support, or military supplies. Others simply do not care about the wrong type of Muslim. The Iranians fall into this category, and seem to be in a strange axis with Russia and China.

As for the UN, I remember my late Uncle describing it as a guard dog with no teeth during the conflict and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia.

I'm sure the sites resident China apologist will be along shortly to tell us that it's all a misunderstanding on our part and that the camps are justified because we did it in South Africa.
