Why the hell are Western countries still supporting the Zionist cunts? Is it remorse? Is it because they look whiter than Arabs? Are they a strategic point in the Middle East?
Yes.
You mean they violated ALSO the Child Rights Treaty.
Fuck the etnostate Israel! Oh, and go die, Bibi, you genocidal cunt.
The outrageous death of children is almost historically unique.
I’m not sure this person should be commenting on history.
You think the vice chair of the U.N. Child Rights Committee might not know what they’re talking about there?
Agreed
Maybe. Maybe not. The Un appoints people to Committee from nations that commit abuses the Committee is studying, in the hopes they will be inspired to stop committing those abuses.
You know, like how Iran was appointed to chair the the human rights Committee despite routine violations of human rights.
The fact is the Un's only goal is appeasing dictators to keep peace. It is the geopolitical equivalent of giving car keys to a toddler to play with to make them stop throwing a temper tantrum.
Arguably those countries are the ones most in need of sitting down and working out how to meet the goals set.
The alternative is a circle jerk of nations who have already achieved it or higher standards congratulating themselves.
I know which one is more likely to bring about the needed change.
those are who should be working out how to meet the goals set. not the ones setting the goals.
Why? They’re the ones who can set realistic goals for them.
Nor does the existence of these goals prevent nations from going above and beyond, it’s about bringing the baseline up.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
