The deceptive "Youth for Human Rights" group has been kicked out of the United Nations in Geneva. They had tried to organize a phony "human rights" conference there, but have now been banned.

The
United Nations (UN) has foiled an attempt by a phony "human rights" group to convene a conference on UN property in Geneva, Switzerland.
According to the
Tribune de Genève, the "Youth for Human Rights" group ("
Des jeunes pour les droits de l'homme") had planned to hold a conference it was calling "The 6th Annual
International Summit on Human Rights." The group had initially received
permission to have the conference at the UN site, but alert staffers
thwarted their plans almost at the last moment. The group members were told to leave the UN grounds, and
were forced to hold their conference, instead, in the lounge of an
expensive nearby hotel.
The "Youth for Human Rights" group has only one goal: the
"global obliteration of psychiatry." The group "cloaks" itself in the
rhetoric of human rights organizations, in
order to seem like an honest member of civil society. The truth,
however, is that for this organization, "human rights" is solely and entirely
a euphemism for "obliterating psychiatry."
It could be argued: "Who cares? Why not let these two dozen fanatics
have their little meeting. No-one would even notice." The real trouble starts, however, when the
conference is over. In 2008, "Youth for Human Rights" had a similar
meeting at UN Headquarters in New York City. As soon as it was over, they launched a blizzard of press releases to boast that they
were accepted as a human rights organization by the United Nations.
This is not in fact the case, but they used their presence in the UN
building to bolster this claim.
All sane and rational people want to support human rights. Young people
in particular -- the group's recruiting target -- have the idealism
and energy to join organizations claiming to work for human rights, as
well as the naivete and inexperience to believe cultish anti-psychiatry
nonsense told them by people who seem to speak with authority. The
danger of an organization called "Youth for Human Rights" thus becomes
clear.
