Showing Original Post only (View all)UN seeks immunity for UNRWA employees complicit in Oct. 7 massacre - Channel 12 report [View all]
Source: Jerusalem Post
In an official document filed in a US court, the United Nations, with support from the US Department of Justice, has argued that UNRWA employees who were involved in the October 7 massacre are immune from legal action, Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 News reported on Saturday evening.
According to the document, UNRWA employees involved in the massacre are shielded from prosecution due to their immunity.
"Since the UN has not waived immunity in this instance, its subsidiary, UNRWA, continues to enjoy absolute immunity from prosecution, and the lawsuit should be dismissed," the UN's response stated.

This is UNRWA openly acknowledging their complicity in massacres and hostage taking of Oct. 7, 2023.
In the same breath, they demand immunity from prosecution for the perpetrators.
Think about it: This is the United Nations demanding protection for international war criminals.
Never once did they demand any protection for the hostages.
Shameless and despicable.

They just got started back then. They didn't learn yet how to do things wrong.

The UN is the defendant in this case. The hostage families are the plaintiffs.

The validity or legality of the instrument of immunity afforded to the UN is not in dispute here.

The immunity clause in the UN founding charter is absolute, and so is the UN discretion in using it.

Disgusting. The UN was created to prevent wars, not protect and enable terrorists.
