Anne Bayefsky: UN-speakable hypocrisy - '...Now, the UN is on a warpath against one particular NGO. It is poised tomorrow to revoke these basic access rights from the World Union of Progressive Judaism. Yes, the WUPJ - which represents more than 1.7 million reform, progressive, liberal and reconstructionist Jews all over the world - is about to have its privileges to attend and speak at UN events erased. What was its sin? Daring to speak clearly against UN human rights hypocrisy...'
Superb commentary by Bayefsky. The U.N.'s corruption is endemic, its breadth and depth of scope and its bearing upon events and perceptions of those events is pandemic.
