Officials from a number of United Nations agencies have stressed the need to ensure respect for health premises as well as the right to health, following recent actions by the Israeli security forces at a hospital in East Jerusalem.

“Actions that undermine the ability of health workers to provide care to those in need are violations of international law. The conduct by the Israeli security forces during several entries into Makassed hospital this past week is unacceptable and must not be repeated,” said the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for the occupied Palestinian territory, Robert Piper.

Posted on September 22, 2015

The UN will carry out a review of Ireland in 2016. Read our submission to the United Nations Human Rights Council:

This submission outlines the torture, and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, perpetrated on three generations of women in Ireland by doctors who carried out destructive and non-consensual childbirth operations (‘symphysiotomy’) in the absence of medical necessity; and shows why Ireland’s failure to protect these women then, and to vindicate their rights now, constitutes a violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,the UN Convention Against Torture, the European Convention of Human Rights, and the UN General Assembly Body of Basic Principles.

The Syrian Civil War is entering a third and potentially very dangerous phase in its continuing evolution. It began as a purely domestic crisis, became steadily internationalized as other countries intervened, and it now risks becoming a full blown Russian-American cold war proxy conflict. This is a conflict that could turn hot very quickly given the proximity of American and Russian military forces in the same theater of operations.

On the heels of child sex abuse reports in the Central African Republic by French soldiers, the United Nations announced Tuesday that an investigation is under way into whether UN peacekeepers also abused street children.  “We’re obviously looking into it,” said Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN secretary-general in a press briefing. “Medical care and assistance is being provided to the alleged victims.”  Little information about the nature of the abuse, the country of origin of the peacekeepers accused of abuses, and the number of victims is available.

However, Al Jazeera reported yesterday that Morocco was contacted to investigate allegations that one of its soldiers raped a girl younger than 16 years old.  Continue reading UN peacekeepers accused of child sex abuse in Central African Republic →

The climate change movement wants “a new world order under the control of the (United Nations),” and is “opposed to capitalism and freedom,” according to the Australian prime minister’s chief business adviser, Maurice Newman.

Newman argued in a May 8 Australian opinion article that while the climate-change movement presents itself “as an independent, spontaneous consensus of concerned scientists, politicians and citizens,” its “real agenda is concentrated political authority.” Continue reading Climate change movement is a UN scam to establish ‘new world order’: Adviser to Australian PM | National Post →
