UN urged to distance itself from Iranian regime’s “anti-terror” conference

NCRI – The Geneva-based UN Watch has reportedly issued a call for UN Secretary Ban Ki-moon to distance the international organization from an “anti-terrorism” conference in Iran that claims to have the backing of both Ban and the United Nations, Fox News has reported.

Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, sent letters to Ban and US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice regarding the conference — “International Conference on Global Fight Against Terrorism,” which took place this past weekend, Fox News said.

 Characterizing the conference as the “height of cynicism,” Neuer cited the Iranian regime’s prominent role in sponsoring and training terrorists as well as aiding the Syrian regime in its efforts to suppress current demonstrations against it.

Neuer wrote that his organization was “alarmed” that the homepage of the conference features a UN logo — implying UN sponsorship.
