'Pakistan is another state sponsor of terror': UN Watch

A human rights lawyer and executive director of UN Watch, Hillel Neuer slammed Qatar and Pakistan for "harbouring terrorists". During a debate at U.N. Human Rights Council to condemn Israel's attack on Hamas terror chiefs in Qatar, Neaur accused the Gulf nation of being a state sponsor of terror. Qatar has hosted the political office of Hamas, a US-designated terror organisation, since 2012. Neuer also lashed out at the UN chief for condemning Israel. He reminded that when the US killed al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in 2011, the then UN chief had said that "justice has been done". At this point, the Pakistani delegate interrupted him mid-speech over Neuer mentioning bin Laden and the country. "We reject casting unfounded accusations and allegations," Pakistan said. His delegate  asked the UNHRC chairperson to ensure that no speaker violated the principles of the UN Charter and the territorial integrity of sovereign member states. The UNHRC chair reminded Neuer that he had four seconds to complete his speech. The noted lawyer made those four seconds count. "Mr President, Pakistan is another state sponsor of terror," Neuer he ended his speech, leaving the Pakistani delegate embarrassed.

Today at the U.N. I asked Qatar: “If you don’t want targeted bombings on terrorists in your capital, why do you harbor terrorists in your capital? Why is your Al Jazeera serving as Hamas' non-stop propaganda arm? Why do you act as mediator by day, and a terror sponsor by night?” https://t.co/xi2EZlC5B7 pic.twitter.com/tTghv5JK4U

"Ten years ago we sounded the alarm, but the U.N. went ahead and elected terrorist regimes Pakistan & Venezuela to their top human rights body. Millions of victims worldwide have been paying the price." Hillel Neuer said in a post on X.
