Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UN accuses Italy of anti-migrant “smear campaign,” fostering “climate of hate” and “threatening” migrant rights

Nov 27, 2018 10:25 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) expressed concern for the “continued smear campaign in Italy against NGOs.” The new immigration measures proposed by the government as well as a climate of hate are threatening the rights of migrants in Italy, according to the UN.

Italy has stood against the hijrah, and is now being demonized as hateful and exclusionary for doing so by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. This is the standard accusation against any country which resists Islamization.

The UN is on an aggressive campaign to force Western nations to accept open borders. It devised the UN Migration Plan, which would hand over border control of sovereign states to the UN. The U.S., Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and Australia have withdrawn from the Plan, and Italy will likely follow.

“UN says Italy ‘criminalising’ NGOs,” ANSA, November 26, 2018:

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) expressed concern for the “continued smear campaign in Italy against NGOs.” The new immigration measures proposed by the government as well as a climate of hate are threatening the rights of migrants in Italy, according to the UN.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed “concern” for the “continued smear campaigns against civil society organizations engaged in search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean” as well as the “criminalization of the work of migrant rights defenders”.

A group of UN experts said the Italian government, among other things, has made it practically impossible for NGO ships to continue to rescue migrants, which has caused a rise in drownings and disappearances. “Saving lives is not a crime. Protecting human dignity is not a crime,” they said.

Italian government must “change course.”

“The new measures and a climate of hate threaten migrants’ rights in Italy,” the UN experts said. They are “urgently calling on the government” to change course. “The tightening on migrant laws proposed by Italy will have a serious impact on their lives, and it is cause for serious concern,” the experts said.

“During the most recent electoral campaign, some politicians fuelled a public discourse unashamedly embracing racist and xenophobic anti-immigrant and anti-foreigner rhetoric. Such speech incites hatred and discrimination,” the experts said.

“Removing protecting increases vulnerability”

Since coming into power, the Italian government has implemented the anti-migrant and exclusionary measures it campaigned upon, the experts said. “Removing protection measures will increase migrants’ vulnerability. They will be at greater risk from traffickers and other criminal groups,” they said….

        All Eyes On Italy. ITALY JUST SAY NO! To UN Migration Pact!

        Rejection of the UN Migration Pact is Increasing Throughout the World!!!

      Well put Jay. I’m seething about this too, especially as they want to make it a hate crime to criticize migrants and immigration in any way. This will lead to civil wars if the leftist controlled establishments get their way!
      This will give the invading hordes of illegal immigrants (mostly male Muslims of course) carte blanche permission to invade us at will, and if anyone opposes them in any way it will be US that will suffer the consequences from our own authorities! You really couldn’t make it up in a sane world, but that’s the problem. We are now living in insane times where the lunatics have taken over the asylum!!

        Just one more reason for the US to pull the plug on the UN. Tell it to relocate to a place like Greenland where few of its personnel would be willing to go as they would not have Macy’s and other department stores to wile away their time when not bashing Israel and now Italy.

    Oh wow.!! Foreigners invading your country have more rights than the citizens! Saying anything about them is fostering “hate speech”! EU has lost its moral bearings, if it had any!!

        Self preservation of your culture, heritage, traditions and customs is not “anti migrant”, It is showing respect of your ancestors and the people who built the country in the first place!

    There is no natural right to migrate and the attempt to suggest that migration is a right is an intolerable breach of the sovereignty of states.

    Who are these arrogant utopianist?

    Islam has its own Utopia … a sharia law DISCRIMINATORY NIGHTMARE such as we see in all Muslim-majority countries … political chaos, instability, institutionalized discrimination and a 7th century law code.

    We are not as nuts as the elites.

    Migrant rights is a concept closely related to, “You owe me a living because two unprepared humans conceived me and dumped me on your doorstep.” The major difference being that, “I am dumping myself and my children on your doorstep.”

    In such a case you have every right and reason to ask how I intend to support myself, if I have the skills and knowledge to do so, if I will be a loyal citizen, and to investigate if I have a background of behavior that is detrimental to your society.

    In no case do I have a right to simply join a mob and march into your country with others whose behavior and beliefs made my country unstable. You have a right to determine if I am an asset or a problem.

      The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights:

      Verónica Michelle Bachelet Jeria is a Chilean politician who served as President of Chile,
      a member of the Socialist Party of Chile. In August 2018, the United Nations nominated
      her to become the next High Commissioner for Human Rights, replacing
      Zeid Raad Al Hussein.

    The corrupt UNHCR will have to be abolished and its leaders punished. Invasion is an act of war. Italy should investigate the crimes and evils committed by the UNHCR and its employees. Expect to find diversion of money,demanding sex for food and false refugees being sent to the West.

    Finding genuine evidence should not be hard since the evil leaders of UNHCR are probably moral degenerates with third rate minds who think its moral reputation and diplomatic immunity will hid their sins. Although there may be an evil mastermind around who is after power and land.

    Bring the evidence before the UN Security Council and the International Court.of Justice (see section 24).

    Italy can also expel the UNHCR, refuse to grant visas to it members and deny them diplomatic immunity.

    The UNHCR is operating under the ‘Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the Specialized Agencies 1946

    It is all about migrants rights. What about the rights of the people of a country?

    Collusion takes hold when two (or more) individuals co-opt their values and ethics to support their own – and others’ – misdeeds.
    UN, pope Francis and George Soros are clearly working in collusion. Their misdeed is their deliberate creation of a smear campaign fostering a climate of hate and threatening rights of the Italien people.
    Neither UN, pope Francis nor George Soros are doing anything to ease the Italian taxpayers muslim burden.
    On the contrary, these three non-entities display charity only toward muslims – and are sending the bill to the common people.

    Those traveling in unsafe vessels, in unsafe numbers, to places that won’t accept them with open arms, have a “right” to stay home. If they wish to travel to another country, they can use the mail and send a letter requesting that they be welcomed in another country of their choice. But the country of choice does not nave an obligation to say they can come.

    The world has gone mad, mirroring the madness and anger and evil of satan the devil. The wicked demon causes trouble, incites humans to make trouble for other humans and is constantly stirring the pot.

    And the U.N. is made up of a lot of moslim countries…masters of trouble making. They have fallen in step with satan and feel they have authority to tell everyone else what rights they have and the duties others have toward them.

      These migrants are coming from corrupt countries where the elites steal foreign aid and revenue. Why isn’t the UN forcing these kleptocrats to spend money on their citizens? The reason is that the majority of the UN is comprised of these kleptocrats. Trump and the other countries who aren’t signing the migration pact should be forcing this issue to the forefront.

    The Un and EU, Bilderberg group, group of Rome, Free Masons, Vatican should totally shut their mouth, they are totally worthless and a shame to even be there, but it was nice guys, to sit on the royal red pluche and make big amounts of money, to live like royals, wasn’t it?
    I don’t hope that one day people will get out to get you, and I hope than that there is somebody who will stick up for you, BUT IT WILL NOT BE ME!.

    The UN is largely a group of tyrants who work towards a one world government by coercing weaker countries, and countries with wicked leaders to do their bidding. Perhaps if Washington wasn’t a member, and weren’t funneling unconstitutional taxes stolen form it’s own citizens, to this unethical group, the UN wouldn’t have nearly the power to persecute innocent people around the world.

    Italy should defund the UN.
