Arrest The War Criminal Netanyahu! Free Palestine!

September 27, 2026 Stephen Millies, Struggle - La Lucha. , , , ,
Ten thousand people marched on the United Nations in New York City to demand that Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be arrested for war crimes. Biden, Trump and Netanyahu have killed over 70,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including 20,000 children. Thousands more have been killed with U.S.-made bombs and shells in Lebanon and Iran. Zionist settlers, many of them from the U.S., have been killing Palestinians on the West Bank. Netanyahu was allowed to come to New York to speak to the UN’s General Assembly despite having an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court.

Netanyahu Incited Genocide In His UN Speech; Here’s What You Missed

September 26, 2026 Jonathan Ofir, Mondoweiss. , , ,
Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at the UN General Assembly yesterday in New York. Hundreds of protesters blocked access roads to the UN, and about a hundred were arrested for demanding Netanyahu’s arrest — among them actors Susan Sarandon, Hannah Einbinder, and Debra Winger.  Inside the hall, as Netanyahu took to the stage, a walkout of many dozens ensued for about 1.5 minutes, as Israel’s cronies chanted “Am Yisrael Chai” (‘the nation of Israel lives’).  The speech itself was a potpourri of lies and incitement, vacillating between condemnations of Zohran Mamdani and Hassan Piker to recounting Israel’s standard October 7 atrocity propaganda and shamelessly repeating the line about Israel having the “most moral army in the world.” 

Defiant Iran Responds To Trump

September 24, 2026 Consortium News. , , ,
A day after Donald Trump threatened to “annihilate” Iran, the Islamic Republic’s president told Trump from the same U.N. General Assembly podium that he “must know that the resistance of the Iranian people will only increase in the face of sanctions, increased pressure, increased bullying. We will never bow our head or bend at the knee.” Unable to bear the description of America’s crimes, the U.S. representative stormed out of the hall in protest. The following are excerpts from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s U.N. address on Tuesday: The United States President described us as terrorists. We have been the victims of terrorism.

Trump Threatens Cuba At UN General Assembly, Cuba Responds

September 24, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
In his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, threatened Cuba, claiming that the country is under the highest level of pressure and that it will eventually fall. In protest against Trump’s words, the Cuban delegation, led by Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, walked out of the room. Prior to the threats from the US president, which he often repeats, the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, had expressed his condemnation of foreign interference in the region and criticized the measures imposed by the US against Cuba. Lula emphasized that the intensified blockade represents collective punishment against 10 million people.

Trump’s Unconscionable United Nations Rant

September 23, 2026 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. , , ,
Donald Trump just delivered probably the most bombastic, ignorant, aggressive and outrageous speech to the rest of the world from the podium of the U.N. General Assembly in the 81-year history of the United Nations.  I covered 25 U.N. general debates from inside U.N. headquarters in New York as a correspondent based there and I have never seen anything like it, including Trump’s previous six U.N. addresses.  He began on Tuesday by beating his chest proclaiming himself king of the world:  “Our economy is the envy of the world. Our military is the most powerful on earth. Our technology is second to none and we are leading in virtually everything. Our energy is fueling the planet. America is rising.

20 Years Since Hugo Chávez’s Speech At The United Nations

September 23, 2026 Carlos Ron, BreakThrough News. , , ,
On September 20, 2006, Hugo Chávez stepped up to the granite podium of the United Nations General Assembly. A day earlier, from that exact same spot, the President of the United States, George W. Bush, had spoken. Chávez crossed himself, said that the room still smelled of sulphur, and the hall burst into laughter and applause. It was not the speech Chávez had originally intended to give, but rather the direct result of the deep indignation caused by hearing Bush speak as if he owned the world. The major media of the North latched onto the sulphur phrase and have tried to caricature it.

The USA Votes Against The Entire World

September 11, 2026 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , ,
There are many examples of how the United States acts as a rogue state. The US government is waging a full-frontal assault on international law, aggressively attacking multilateral institutions. US unilateralism has been a bipartisan phenomenon, going back decades, but it has reached its extreme zenith under Donald Trump, who has formally withdrawn the US from most international organizations. Trump openly gloated, “I don’t need international law”. The international community saw a transparent example of US rogue state status this September, when Washington voted against the entire world at the United Nations General Assembly.

UN And Red Cross Call For Ban Of Autonomous Weapons Systems

August 28, 2026 Abdul Rahman, BreakThrough News. , , ,
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Mirjana Spoljaric repeated their joint call for urgent prohibitions and restrictions on autonomous weapons systems. “We are now dangerously close to crossing a moral red line: the autonomous targeting of humans by machines,” Guterres said in his post on X asserting “innovation must serve humanity-not endanger it.” Noting the growing use of drones and other automated weapons in the ongoing and recent conflicts such as wars in Ukraine, the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the US-Israeli war on Iran, and the war in Sudan, the UN and other agencies have insisted on laying down norms on their use as existing laws and conventions often fail to do so.

Political Prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal’s Petition To United Nations

August 5, 2026 Betsey Piette, Workers World. , , ,
Lawyers for Pennsylvania political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal filed a 20-page petition with the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention on his behalf on July 28 outlining nearly 45 years of “failures of the criminal legal system” in his case. The petition, filed by Brett Grote of the Abolitionist Law Center, along with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Center for Constitutional Rights, argues that multiple violations of international law in Abu-Jamal’s case include an “unfair trial, a biased appellate process, decades of surveillance and censorship and a death by incarceration sentence that has been recognized by the U.N. as violating international human rights standards.”

Inside The Longest Refugee Protest In History

August 2, 2026 Matt Benson, Waging Nonviolence. , , , ,
Agadez, Niger — On any given day, you will find a group of up to 1,000 people, including women, children, the elderly and people with disabilities, standing in the Sahara Desert, eight miles from the nearest town, holding signs that read “We don’t want to stay here,” “Refugees in the desert without protection” and “We don’t feel safe here.”  Since Sept. 22, 2024, they have maintained a daily sit-in at the humanitarian center where they are being held. At nearly two years, it has become one of the longest continuous refugee-led protests in history — and almost no one knows about it. 

Legal Team Of Mumia Abu-Jamal Appeals To The UN For Support

July 29, 2026 Renee Feltz, Truthout. , , , ,
World-renowned political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal is 72 years old, suffering multiple health problems, and may die in prison, say legal advocates in a new request they filed today that asks the United Nations to support his release. Abu-Jamal’s legal team decided to appeal to the UN after having exhausted nearly every legal avenue for relief available in the United States. Abu-Jamal was a Black Panther and journalist when he was convicted of the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner, and he has always maintained his innocence. His death sentence was overturned in 2001, and in 2011, Pennsylvania resentenced him to life without parole.

United Nations Approaching AI From Wrong Side

July 20, 2026 Gabriel Accascina, Consortium News. , , ,
The Geneva Digital Week earlier this month featured the release of the United Nations’ new Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligencefirst global scientific assessment of AI. The gathering capped three years in which the U.N, has produced an impressive volume of work on artificial intelligence, from the Global Digital Compact to the “Governing AI for Humanity” report; from UNESCO’s recommendation on the ethics of AI to the International Telecommunication Union’s annual summits.

Palestine Activists Celebrate A Win Outside The United Nations

July 11, 2026 Nuriel Vera-Degraff, The Indypendent. , , ,
On May 31, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir marched down Fifth Avenue as a part of New York City’s annual Israel Day Parade. He was joined by many of the state’s most prominent Democratic politicians including Governor Kathy Hochul, Senator Chuck Schumer and Attorney General Leticia James. In another sign of collapsing support for Israel, Ben-Gvir cancelled a planned appearance at the UN on Tuesday in the face of a flurry of protests led by the Palestine Youth Movement-coordinated “Stop Ben-Gvir Campaign.”

UN Panel Reaffirms Israel Commits Genocide

July 11, 2026 Jessica Corbett, Consortium News. , , , ,
Just over 1,000 days into Israeli forces’ genocidal violence against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, a United Nations commission has forcefully denounced Israel’s treatment of health workers from the besieged territory and specifically demanded “the immediate, unconditional, and safe release” of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. Israel has detained Abu Safiya without charge since capturing him at Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, where he was the director, in December 2024. Renewed calls for Abu Safiya’s release have mounted in recent days following his transfer to the underground Rakefet interrogation facility at Nitzan Prison, where his lawyer, Nasser Odeh, said that his life is at risk.

Despite US’ Backdoor ‘Diplomacy’, UNGA Once Again Heard Condemnations Of US Blockade On Cuba

July 11, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, BreakThrough News. , , ,
Last week, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez announced that the island nation was bringing a pressing debate to the floor of the United Nations General Assembly. Cuba proposed that a debate be opened so that the world could have a better sense of the crippling impacts of the energy blockade on the island that the US has de-facto imposed beginning in December and then formally imposed through presidential decree in late January. The prohibition on the export of fuel to Cuba has provoked a serious energy, economic, and humanitarian crisis on the island.
