The United Nations: Accomplice to Islamic Terror
3rd January 2025
Today, UN voting behavior is dictated by the most powerful group of states in the General Assembly, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), to which 56 Islamic states belong and which thus largely dominates the group of non-aligned states (120 in total), which have a majority among the 193 UN member states. This means that resolutions proposed by the Islamic group of states against Israel automatically have a majority in the General Assembly. In the UN Security Council it is different; here any resolution can be overturned by the veto of the permanent members. Thus explicit condemnations of Israel by the Security Council are rarer than by the UN General Assembly.
