Amnesty International must have felt the heat of public opinion after their ludicrous statement that they ignore Hamas war crimes because they’re so obvious; today they issued a report that, oddly enough, accuses Hamas of eliminating opponents. Is it a genuine change of direction, or an attempt to preempt criticism? ...

Human rights groups including Amnesty International have come up with an innovative excuse for ignoring Hamas war crimes: They’re Too Blatant And Savage. Yes, really.

Ezra Levant reports that the Orwellian star chamber known as the Canadian Human Rights Commission has dropped their ludicrous persecution of Mark Steyn and Maclean’s magazine: The Canadian Human Rights Commission blinks.

Canada is getting incredibly weird. I thought when Stephen Harper was elected that things would take a turn for the better, but the Orwellian madness of the Alberta Human Rights Commission has now entered the realm of the surreal: Alberta’s HRC: breeding the next generation of complainers. Yesterday I ...

The New York Times, scrupulously fair as always (cough), suggests that it might be time for the United States to reconsider this antiquated idea of “free speech” and join the rest of the world in prosecuting people like Mark Steyn: American Exception - Unlike Others, U.S. Defends Freedom to Offend ...

Mark Steyn is in Kafkaville this week, as the Canadian government demonstrates to the world how badly they’ve gone off the rails. I’m spending this week in a Vancouver “human rights” courtroom - actually a windowless basement whose sole link with the outside world, the clock, is stuck at ...

Several people emailed to recommend this video of Mark Steyn confronting some of his Islamist critics; I couldn’t get it to play, but maybe you’ll have better luck: The Agenda - Video - May 6: What is Wrong with Mark Steyn’s View of the World?
Last week the Ontario Human Rights Commission dropped their absurd Kafkaesque “human rights” charges against Maclean’s magazine—not because their witch hunt was wrong and offensive, but because they “lacked jurisdiction.” But their statement makes it clear they intend to continue trying to control the free expression of ideas in Canada, ...

The new United Nations “Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967,” Richard Falk, is really a winner. He’s a 9/11 Troofer. And he stands by his ridiculously offensive and extreme anti-Israel statements: UN expert stands by Nazi comments. The next UN ...

Islamic countries have succeeded in hijacking the United Nations Human Rights Council and perverting its intent (even more than it was already perverted): Arabs, Muslims battle US, Europeans over free speech at UN.

It’s amazing (not in a good way) what’s going on in the United Nations on a daily basis, and UN Watch is blowing the whistle on yet another outrage. Here’s a video presentation on the radical Marxist, dictator-supporting Jean Ziegler, and why he should never be anywhere near the UN ...

Here’s the Arab Charter on Human Rights cooked up by the Arab League, apparently about to be “entered into force” by the United Nations on March 15, 2008. You won’t believe this rubbish. Right up front, in the fifth paragraph: Rejecting all forms of racism and Zionism, which constitute ...

Iowahawk’s been digging around in Canadian dumpsters (dirty job but somebody’s gotta do it), and he’s surfaced with a crumpled-up first draft of the Alberta Human Rights Commission’s report on their hearing with Ezra Levant: Filed In Triplicate. Defendant acknowledges awareness of charges against him. He is represented by ...
A great Mark Steyn piece on the insanely Orwellian Canadian “human rights” commissions: It’s all very odd, ‘that’s for sure’. Who has availed themselves of the “human rights” protected by Section XIII? In its entire history, over half of all cases have been brought by a sole “complainant,” one ...
Wow. We’ve discovered a new form of troll, as Mark Steyn reveals that Canadian Human Rights Commission “investigators” are posing as “hate crime” perpetrators—by posting comments at the neo-Nazi site Stormfront: SteynOnline - Agent provocateur. Yes, really. I wonder if we have any of these human rights trolls here at ...

The story behind Syed B. Soharwardy, the Saudi-trained propagandist who filed a “human rights” complaint against Canadian publisher Ezra Levant for printing the Danish Mohammed cartoons, gets even more ridiculous today, as Levant reveals that Soharwardy himself is the subject of a human rights complaint—for discrimination against women.
