Another revealing report by @UNWatch A 104-page investigation has just been released, showing that the United Nations’ top human rights experts have abandoned the role of independent monitors and are now political activists or corrupt individuals paid by dictatorships to undermine democracies. The report profiles 13 of the UN Human Rights Council’s Special Rapporteurs. Here are just a couple of examples: - Reem Alsalem, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women, has refused to acknowledge the October 7th massacre, denied Hamas sexual crimes against Israeli women and amplified Hamas-aligned propaganda. - Alena Douhan, the UN special rapporteur on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures, received $1.3 million in funding from China, Russia, and Qatar.   - Ben Saul, the UN special rapporteur on counterterrorism, received $150,000 from China. Though he routinely castigates Western states, he has refused to issue any statements on China’s persecution of the Muslim Uyghurs, which Beijing justifies as “counterterrorism.”   - Tlaleng Mofokeng, the UN special rapporteur on the right to health, said “Hamas are not terrorists,” and endorsed “the legitimacy of armed struggle.”   - Michael Fakhri, the UN special rapporteur on the right to food, accuses Canada of committing genocide. Though Venezuela routinely bars UN monitors, Fakhri was specifically invited for a visit, which he used to lavish praise on the Maduro regime.   - George Katrougalos, a former Greek foreign minister serving as the UN independent expert “on a democratic and equitable international order,” received $100,000 from China in 2025. In the same year, he promoted Xi Jinping’s book and praised the Chinese dictator’s “vision of openness, development and dialogue” and “shared future for humanity.” He also traveled to Tehran that year, where he met with the regime’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi to jointly lament “Israeli and American crimes.”   - Irene Khan, the UN special rapporteur on freedom of expression, turned a blind eye to gross and systematic violations of free speech by the regimes in Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and Myanmar, as well as internet shutdowns by Iran and Turkey, yet she devoted an entire UN General Assembly report to condemning Western states for allegedly repressing pro-Palestinian protests. @unwatch founder @HillelNeuer comments:   “Alena Douhan, the UN special rapporteur on unilateral coercive measures, who defines Western sanctions on dictatorships as illegal, received $1.3 million from China, Russia, and Qatar. No one is even checking how this money is being used. If a judge took $1.3 million from one of the parties, they would be immediately disqualified and removed from the bench. If a journalist openly endorsed a terror group on social media, they would be fired on the spot. Yet the UN’s rapporteurs operate without ethical constraints or consequences — and there’s not even a procedure to remove them. The result is a powerful bloc of compromised officials who enjoy not only diplomatic immunity, but complete impunity”

Σπύρος Δριτσας (στέλεχος ΕΛΑΣ) την περίοδο που ήταν στον ΑΝΤΑΡΣΥΑ: Να διαγραφεί το χρέος, να βγούμε από ΕΕ και ευρώ, να κρατικοποιηθούν τα πάντα, ΚΚΕ και Συνασπισμός λένε σαχλαμάρες, αναπαραγάγουν αιτήματα της πλάκας.

Αρχικά, τα δημοσιεύματα έκαναν λόγο για «σύμβαση» που έχει ο Ντίλιαν στα χέρια του. Μετά για «προσύμφωνο». Μετά για «χιλιάδες μέιλ». Σήμερα, μαθαίνουμε ότι έχει και «συστατικές επιστολές». Περίεργο πάντως, που παρά την ενδελεχή πολυετή δημοσιογραφική και δικαστική έρευνα, δεν έχει αποκαλυφθεί τίποτε απολύτως.

Most people watch the World Cup from cafe or a couch. Türkiye fans watch it at 6:00 AM from a 2,000-year-old ancient theatre facing the sea. 🇹🇷🌅 Football with a view like this hits different. 😮

Aproximadamente el 85% de los refugiados del mundo son musulmanes. Sin embargo, por alguna razón, no solicitan asilo en más de 50 países musulmanes. Solo desean ir a países no musulmanes. ¿Alguna idea de por qué?
