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

UN scolds US, says attack on Iran’s jihad terror leader Soleimani violated UN Charter and “international law”

Jul 9, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

This drivel is transparent. CNBC referred to Soleimani as the “world’s No. 1 bad guy.” He was a potent jihad terror leader for the Iranian regime; nevertheless, blinded by hatred for Trump and for the very tenets of free societies, the UN condemns his killing.

“The killing of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani doesn’t have the emotional power of the takedown of Osama bin Laden, but taking him out means much more in terms of saving current lives.”

Bin Laden was taken out by Obama, which makes all the difference.

The United States has failed to provide sufficient evidence of an ongoing or imminent attack against its interests to justify the strike on General Soleimani’s convoy as it left Baghdad airport, lamented U.N. special rapporteur Agnes Callamard….The attack violated the U.N. Charter, Callamard alleged in a report calling for accountability for targeted killings by armed drones and for greater regulation of the weapons.

It is high time that the US pull out of the UN, which has been hijacked by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Communist interests.

“The United States is the largest provider of financial contributions to the United Nations, providing 22 percent of the entire UN budget in 2020.” Via the UN, American taxpayers are indirectly funding jihadist and Marxist interests. Funding the worst enemies of democracy needs to stop, and other democratic nations should follow the US out of the UN. America under Trump has already shown its commitment to freedom in de-funding Pakistan and the UNRWA (U.N. Relief and Works Agency). A complete withdrawal from the UN is prudent.

“U.N. Scolds U.S. for Deadly Strike on Iran Terror Leader Soleimani,” by Simon Kent, Breitbart, July 7, 2020:

The deadly January U.S. drone strike that eliminated Iran’s terror commander Qasem Soleimani and nine other people was a violation of international law, a U.N. human rights investigator claimed Monday.

The United States has failed to provide sufficient evidence of an ongoing or imminent attack against its interests to justify the strike on General Soleimani’s convoy as it left Baghdad airport, lamented U.N. special rapporteur Agnes Callamard a full six months after the event.

The attack violated the U.N. Charter, Callamard alleged in a report calling for accountability for targeted killings by armed drones and for greater regulation of the weapons.

“The world is at a critical time, and possible tipping point, when it comes to the use of drones. … The Security Council is missing in action; the international community, willingly or not, stands largely silent,” Callamard, an independent investigator, told Reuters.

Soleimani directed Iranian military operations abroad, including terror strikes in third party states. Just one week before his death, he is thought to have directed rocket attacks that killed an American civilian contractor in Iraq.

Last year, President Donald Trump designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds force as a terrorist organization and the action against Soleimani, as its leader, was a logical continuation of that definition.

Even so, Callamard expressed her disatisfaction that the U.S. could move against a man.

“Major General Soleimani was in charge of Iran military strategy, and actions, in Syria and Iraq. But absent an actual imminent threat to life, the course of action taken by the U.S. was unlawful,” Callamard wrote in the report……

    It was good judgement of President Trump to order the drone strike that took out that Iranian warlord chief.

    For Soleimani was a very vicious and dangerous man. Therefore it was necessary that he was eliminated.

      Yes, Soleimani was ‘dangerous’ … a professional soldier should be. But he was himself VIOLATING INTERNATIONAL LAW by planning lethal attacks against Americans in a third country!

      Soleimani VIOLATED international law.

        Mortimer, very clear assessment of this former threat.

        100% correct, mortimer.

        And the UN didn’t care about dead Americans. Including a plot by Soleimani to kill the Saudi diplomat in Washington.

    President Trump had shown wisdom in authorizing that US drone airstrike which eliminated that brutal, violent and murderous Iranian terrorists commander , at the Baghdad airport, is thievery best way of sending those cruel ruthless jihad –minded rulers in power in the “mullah regime “ of Iran a message in the only language that they will understand. Which is a message sent with and by the power of strong military might.

    As Thomas Jefferson had, so clearly, declared, “With every barbarous people …force is law.”

    My last above posting an an error in it, .What following is an improved essay than the one before it.

      I call the UN the UNI: The United Nations of Islam. Add that to the countless Mulsim organisations in existence.

      Why has the United Nations been allowed to be in OUR FREE COUNTRY? They are all Communists and Islamist’s along with the Brotherhood of Muslims, Get them all out of our Country and deport every damn one of them for against Atrocities of Christian Humanity. They are a barbaric group that I suggest was the same entity that Ordered the Georgia guide-stones and the first line tells the whole story, Maintain 500 million in population of the world? How would you do that when there are 7.5 billion in the world in the year 2020? They are pushing for Apocolipse to be able to maintain that amount and Bill Gates and Faucy and the UN are all in to force Vaccines on every one in the world, and from the millions that Bill Gates and his henchmen have killed around the world he has found a faster way by creating a Virus scare that doesn’t exist.

        Jul 9, 2020 at 9:34 pm

        Much as I dislike the UN, the idea that they are calling for genocide is just mistaken. Citations?

        And the idea that Covid-19 does not exist and that all victims of the virus were killed by Bill Gates is a *very* odd claim.

        Human pandemics do indeed exist, and most of them much predate the birth of Bill Gates. Just look up the Black Death, smallpox, and the Spanish Flu.

    Soleimani was linked by intelligence to the attack on the US embassy. The Iranian leaders apparently thought that another hostage crisis would make the mullahocracy look good and gave Soleimani orders to organize it. The targeting of the mastermind of the coming attacks against Americans was stopped and the Iranians haven’t tried anything since.

    The Iranians are trying to continue their war against the US through diplomacy.

    “Major General Soleimani was in charge of Iran military strategy, and actions, in Syria and Iraq. But absent an actual imminent threat to life, the course of action taken by the U.S. was unlawful,” Callamard wrote in the report……

    So according to Callamard we are not allowed to defend ourselves until a cocked gun is pointed in our face? That is the most insane comment I have heard in my over 80 years,

    • David says

      Jul 10, 2020 at 8:26 am

      Cocked, aimed and fired, more like it! Human Rights used to be a blessing. Now it is more like a curse. It has been perverted.

    I wouldn’t have cared if some of these UN leaders were in the car with Soleimani. Aw hellfire, maybe next time.

    Trump has got the measure of what the UN is up to, and his opponents don’t like it up em! How on earth can they state that the strike on a known terrorist is against the UN Charter and unlawful as well as being against “International Law”. What a crazy mixed up bunch of MFs they are!! I suppose Soleimani was completely innocent of carrying out attacks and planning against the West in general. Where do these people keep their brains? Do they actually possess a brain? The world is surely becoming a crazy twisted mixed up place to live, and we could do without these idiots!! Sucking up to Islamists!!!

    The UN no longer serves its original mandate. It belongs in China less Western funding.

  15. Gourdhead says

    Jul 10, 2020 at 12:18 pm

    Just the latest in compelling reasons to rid our country of the UN and terminate our participation and overly generous financial support.

    • Lauren Hermann says

      Jul 11, 2020 at 10:41 am

      i couldn’t agree with you more, Gourdhead. To me the UN is expensive and useless organization.

    Jul 10, 2020 at 12:23 pm

    I like this story; a jihadi has the power to kill radomly and it is deemed perfect to the world body. But if in a strange circumstance a jihadi is made to go for his 72 nubile in the land beyond then all the floodgates of you are wrong is flashed in your face. UN, don’t follow this path of self-destruction else you would become antiquity.

    Get the US out of the U.N. then get the U.N. out of the US, preferably to Babylon where it belongs
