The United Nations Human Rights Council, responsible for investigating war crimes, seems infected with the “head in the sand” syndrome. In the latest Russian special military operation accusations, the UN says, “We are aware of the videos, and we are looking into them. […] all such allegations should be […] investigated
They are into Un agenda 2030 basically they want to depopulate to rewild 30% and I think more. They have no teeth or powers when there was breeches of disability human rights in UK they did nothing either. Toothless powerless force. Take tax payers money and don’t defend anyone these days they watch it and do nothing. Most NGOs are BS scammers same re charities and any private services. They are all in it for themselves and their own agendas .
Nothing new, it has been going on since the end of the Cold War. An example from the '90s: The US propagandists in the UN claimed 200K raped in the Bosnia&Hercegovina war with the now common claim of rape as war tactic. The only problem is that figure would mean that there were ~500 different women raped per DAY. Same was recycled for the "Kosovo war", there the tally was ~250 per day. To make matter worse when when Serbian representatives came to the UN with concrete data about rapes, testimonies, medical examinations etc, no one bothered to pay attention to it, including Russia.
One of the most disturbing and frustrating results of the conflict in Ukraine was/is the inability of the UN to stop the conflict short of war. Considering the alternatives - Ukraine neutrality and resolution of a bloody civil war - the choice was a FU*king No Brainer.
Now the Russians are shelling themselves again at the ZZP nuclear power plant, firing missiles into Poland.. . and the Gates of Hell are flung wide open.
This war should have never happened. The anarchy inherent in nation-state 'sovereignty' can no longer be ignored.
*WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED
to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and
to regain faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and
to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and
to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
AND FOR THESE ENDS
to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and
to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and
to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and
to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,
HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS
Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city of San Francisco, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the United Nations and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the United Nations.

HUMAN COSTS The number of people killed directly in the violence of the U.S. post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and elsewhere are estimated here.
A study estimated these wars caused the deaths of 897,000 to 929,000 people, including over 364,000 civilians, and cost $8 trillion. Includes U.S. military members, allied fighters, opposition fighters, civilians, journalists and humanitarian aid workers who were killed as a direct result of war, whether by bombs, bullets or fire.
HUMAN COSTS The number of people killed directly in the violence of the U.S. post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and elsewhere are estimated here. Several times as many more have been killed as a reverberating effect of the wars — because, for example, of water loss, sewage and other infrastructural issues, and war-related disease.
