U.N. to Endorse Holocaust Deniers’ Hero

Quote: '...the Nuremberg Court that judged Nazi war criminals had 'hardly any legitimacy.''

UN Watch reports…

“Tomrorow [sic], the United Nations General Assembly will adopt a resolution ratifying all of the 2012 resolutions and decisions of its subsidiary, the 47-nation Human Rights Council.

While a handful of these decisions were good, many were despicable. One stands out for its ignominy: the appointment of a top official whose life’s work—authoring books on World War II that make Germans the victims and the Allies the war criminals—has made him a hero to Holocaust deniers.”

(Personal note: I have to stop saying “This is as bad as it could possibly get”, because, every time I think I’ve seen it all, something like this comes along to show me that, no, it could always be worse!)

U.N. Holocaust Deniers.\

Outrageous. But not surprising in the least.

...Actually it's some of his other statements which make him the douche he is; questioning the legitimacy of what were essentially criminal procedures based on specific norms ex post facto (given that criminal law especially up to that point was based either on written explicit legislation or rather old common law) is something plenty of legitimate legal scholars do.
Hell, I'd say the Nuremburg results (dead nazis) were fine. It would have been slightly more appropriate to say "well, here's a political decision to execute anyone who fits these criteria, and we'll have some guys who in their day jobs are magistrates around to weed out any false positives" rather than calling it a (relatively) conventional criminal trial, though.
However, that is pretty much a semantic point, a slight disagreement as to the means to get to basically the same end.
So saying Nuremburg might not have been entirely 'legitimate' as a *criminal* *court* can be a respectable view. What this dufus is doing is denying the legitimacy of the results - Which is something completely different.

I like to focus on the positive side of an organization and not dwell on the negative. When it comes to the UN, I bet they have a really nice cafeteria.

Sorry but when you're a hero to Holocaust deniers, you have no legitimate position on anything.

Sent my letter.

Probably, but I'd rather eat where I don't have to inhale the stench of ineffectual corruption.
