The United Nations and the European Union praised Iran on Thursday for implementing the landmark nuclear deal with six major powers, but U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley accused Tehran of “destructive and destabilizing” actions from ballistic missile launches to arms smuggling.

The speeches at a Security Council meeting on implementation of a U.N. resolution endorsing the July 2015 nuclear agreement showed the deep division over Iran between the five major powers who view the deal as a major achievement and the Trump administration, which is reviewing it.

President Donald Trump, congressional Republicans and Israel have assailed the agreement as a windfall to Iran that only delayed its pursuit of nuclear weapons. GOP lawmakers say it saved Iran’s economy by lifting economic penalties and allowed the country to funnel more money to terrorist groups. …

The U.N. and the E.U. were made for each other.

They make a perfect couple.

In its relations with the wider world, the (European) Union shall uphold and promote its values and interests and contribute to the protection of its citizens. It shall contribute to peace, security, the sustainable development of the Earth, solidarity and mutual respect among peoples, free and fair trade, eradication of poverty and the protection of human rights, in particular the rights of the child, as well as to the strict observance and the development of international law, including respect for the principles of the United Nations Charter. …

— Treaty of Lisbon, Article 3, Paragraph 5
The notion of being “made for each other” is literally true. Even worse, that last part espouses the “principles” of a charter modeled after the 1936 USSR constitution, which was commissioned by none other than Stalin himself.

The word “liberty” appears twice in the Treaty of Lisbon, but only in the preamble and mixed in with contradictory words such as “democracy”. There is no instance of it in the UN charter.

Thanks Olog_hai.

When you watch how the U.N. and the E.U. operate over time, it’s pretty clear they don’t believe in individual rights. They talk a big game when they want to game people, but their “so called” constituents don’t vote for the decision makers.

The U.N. and the E.U. are above that sort of thing.

I did not know this, but when the I.C.C. was established, far less than 50% of the member nations had to sign on for it to become reality.

The U.N. and the E.U. are pushing the movement of potential terrorists in. They just don’t care.

Liberty, freedom, official accountability, there’s nothing protecting the Europeans, and it seems as if they’re pleased as can be about what is taking place.

Of course we can’t see it though, because it’s literally a crime to speak out about issues like this.

Good grief!

EU and european nations are greedily rubbing their hands together at the thought of an open market for them in Iran.
