UNESCO Peace Prize to a War Criminal
The UN functions as an imperial tool.
by Stephen Lendman
It shouldn't surprise. Nobel committee members prioritize doing it. America's Presidential Medal of Freedom honors genocidists. So does Israel's equivalent award.
UNESCO is the UN's educational, scientific and cultural organization. It stresses "building peace in the minds of men and women."It "works to create the conditions for dialogue among civilizations, cultures and peoples, based upon respect for commonly shared values."
Through dialogue it hopes "world can achieve global visions of sustainable development encompassing observance of human rights, mutual respect and the alleviation of poverty, all of which are at the heart of UNESCO'S mission and activities."
Its rhetoric and policies differ. Double standards reflect UN priorities. Officials are Western tools. They honor their own. They violate UN Charter provisions.
They do so with impunity. Millions die as a result. Millions more suffer horrendously. Imperial ruthlessness assures it. Global dominance is prioritized.
