Defund the UN TODAY

I guess we shouldn't be surprised that the UN would lower its flag to honor the North Korean dictator. Nevertheless, I am thoroughly disgusted by its action. How can it honor such a horrific man who tortured and killed his own people? I don't know about you, but I don't want my money going to support such an organization.

'The flag of the United Nations flew at half-mast Wednesday at the world’s body headquarters in New York and its Geneva offices to mark the funeral for late North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il.

Choi Soung-ah, a spokeswoman for UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon, said it was customary practice for the UN flag to be lowered to half-mast upon the deaths of leaders of UN member states.

The non-governmental organization UN Watch said while protocol had to be followed, “the world body must not forget that its founding purpose is to defend basic human rights.”

“Sadly, that message is at serious risk of being blurred today,” UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer said.

“Today should be a time for the UN to show solidarity with the victims — the millions of North Koreans brutalized by Kim’s merciless policies of starvation and oppression — and not with the perpetrators.”'"
