VETO ZEIGLER - OUT OF THE DAMN UN!

"ZEIGLR WAS SO EXTREME EVEN THE COMMUNIST PARTY EXPELLED HIM". Ziegler blames all the world's problems on "American imperialism". He accuses the US of committing genocide against Cuba and his even stronger obsession is against Israel.

Presumptive Nominee? Jean Ziegler and the UN Human Rights Council

Analysis:  Jean Ziegler has a long history of supporting unsavory rulers and regimes, including some of the world's worst human rights violators. As UN hunger expert for the past 7 years, he ignored regions with the most severe food crises, and instead devoted his time to anti-Western polemics.

Who is Jean Ziegler?

• Apologist for some of the worst human rights criminals of our time.
   
• After Fidel Castro imprisoned 70 journalists, Ziegler proclaimed "total support for the Cuban revolution." During an official visit to the Communist island in October, Ziegler hailed the virtues of Castro regime even while he refused to meet Cuban dissidents.
  
• "...Ziegler went to Hanoi during the '80s, where he heaped praise upon General Vp Nguyen Giap and Ho Chi Minh. Indeed, it would be hard to find an intellectual more stained by collaboration with evil regimes in the 20th century than Mr. Ziegler." (Jan Marejko, "Che Guevara Lives at the UN," August 2002.)
  
• Served Ethiopian dictator Mengistu — who used famine as a weapon to kill thousands — by helping draft one-party constitution.
  
• Abused UN food mandate. As UN special rapporteur on the right to food for the past seven years, Mr. Ziegler ignored many of the world’s most starving populations, instead focusing attention on his personal political agenda. As documented in the UN Watch report “Blind to Burundi,” during 2000 to 2004, Mr. Ziegler systematically failed to speak out for numerous food emergencies, in Burundi, the Central African Republic, Sierra Leone and elsewhere.
  
• In 2002 he praised the Zimbabwean dictator, saying, “Mugabe has history and morality with him.” He paid visits to Saddam Hussein in Iraq and Kim Il-Sung in North Korea.
  
• In 2006, during an interview in Lebanon, Mr. Ziegler said, “I refuse to describe Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. It is a national resistance movement. I can understand Hezbollah when they kidnap soldiers...”
