The UN Watch Database monitors the actions and composition of key UN bodies, highlighting the pernicious elevation of dictatorships to high positions, and the world body’s peculiar obsession with scapegoating Israel.
Absurdly, repressive regimes are routinely elected to key UN bodies mandated to protect human rights (Human Rights Council), promote women’s rights and gender equality (UN Women & Commission on the Status of Women), promote education and protect freedom of the press (UNESCO), and oversee the work of human rights groups (Committee on NGOs).
Each year, Israel is condemned in at least four annual resolutions (five until 2020 when two of the resolutions were combined) and is the subject of at least five critical reports, while oppressive regimes like Iran and North Korea are criticized in only one resolution. Most of the world’s worst regimes are not subject to any criticism.
