Gatestone:

• "Nowhere has the UN's failure been more consistent and more outrageous than in its bias against our close ally Israel." — Governor Nikki Haley, US Ambassador-designate to the United Nations.
• When those handsomely remunerated within transnational institutions make their priority spiteful political issues and arguably anti-Semitic point-scoring -- rather than protecting hard-won humanistic principles such as human rights -- the very values that differentiate segments of the modern world from the more barbarous norms of the past -- their legitimacy is eroded.
• "My commitment is... to reject any oppression in the name of religion... a goal that we will reach in a peaceful and law-abiding way." — Raif Badawi, a Saudi blogger sentenced for such thoughts to 1000 lashes -- in contravention of international law -- followed by ten years in jail and a fine of approximately $260,000. His lawyer, Walid Abu'l-Khayr, was jailed as well. Where was the United Nations then? A royal pardon for both men should be granted immediately.
• It is high time that democratic nations reasserted their sovereignty in the face of these unelected, untransparent, and unaccountable transnational institutions which so often make a mockery of the standards they are pledged to uphold.
