The French newspaper Le Monde in an article entitled “the United Nation against Human Rights” published on Thursday Feb. 28, looked into the visit by Louise Arbour, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, to Iran. The article reads: In September 2007 the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour attended a conference in Tehran called “Human Rights and Cultural Diversity”. She wore headscarf as the Islamic ruling of the mullahs says, and passively witnessed the trample of future principals (by the mullahs). She summarized them in one sentence “attack and insult on religious values is same as racism”. Even worse, the day after her visit to Iran, 21 people among them few underage youths were hanged publicly. Also in her presence, Ahmadinejad called for destruction of Israel, a state recognized by the United Nations.

Le Monde added when she was asked regarding her silence about mullahs’ violation of human rights she justified her behavior by saying she did not intend to offend her hosts. Dr. Gübels also used same reasoning for expressing his rhetoric in the United Nations tribune in 1933 to justify fascism and said: “a cannibal is a king for itself.”

The year 2008 is the eightieth anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights. Could it be said, is this the year of annihilation of these principals by the same United Nations? Since it has been some years that the Human Rights was given up by the United Nations due to internal complex procedure or on the name of anti discrimination, or for maters such as environment.
