Bolton: “The UN is Not Useful in Solving Actual Problems”

John Bolton stands up against the appallingly corrupt United Nations, who passed six more resolutions condemning Israel on Thursday: Bolton Says Palestinian Resolutions Demonstrate UN Irrelevance.

Dec. 1 (Bloomberg) — U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said the United Nations General Assembly demonstrated its irrelevance today by adopting six resolutions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including non-binding calls for Israel to withdraw from the West Bank and Golan Heights.

The General Assembly, consisting of all 191 member governments, passed resolutions very similar to measures introduced annually by Arab nations for at least 30 years. The U.S. was joined by no more than seven other nations in rejecting the resolutions, which won up to 160 votes.

“These resolutions are purely symbolic,” Bolton told reporters at the UN. “It is one reason why many people say the UN is not really useful in solving actual problems. We have been making enormous progress toward solutions in the Arab-Israeli conflict, and that progress has benefited from UN participation, but it does not benefit from needless repetition of meaningless resolutions in the General Assembly.”

Bolton, who has pressed UN member governments to reduce the number of General Assembly resolutions, said it was up to them to “decide they want to do things that are relevant.”
