Obama Ushers Controversial Group to U.N. Table
In a move that divided countries and cultures, the United Nations on Monday granted special accreditation to a radical U.S.-based homosexual advocacy group that, among other things, favors criminal sanctions for those who criticize the homosexual agenda.
Afterward supporters of the group sounded as if the world had seen an overdue advancement of human rights. After all, the name of the group is the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission.
But the move did not come without controversy. The group did not get a plurality of countries voting and was only passed only after intense global pressure from the Obama administration.
The Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM), which lobbied governments at the UN against accrediting the group and which has been a daily pro-family presence at the UN for 13 years, argues that the group does not adhere to basic principles of universally recognized human rights and should have been excluded.
“This is a radical organization that believes homosexual rights trump the right to free speech and freedom of religion,” says C-FAM president, Austin Ruse. “In fact, they believe criticizing the homosexual agenda should be subject to criminal penalties. Freedom of religion and freedom of speech are two bedrock human rights principles.”
In Ruse’s assessment, the matter was made worse by the fact that this would not have happened without pressure brought to bear on Third World countries by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
After the vote this week, the president himself said, this is “an important step forward for human rights,” which brings the U.N. “closer to the ideals on which it was founded, and to values of inclusion and equality to which the United States is deeply committed.”
Ruse, however, finds this Executive Branch crusade troubling for a multitude of reasons. “Hillary Clinton announced last month that every U.S. Ambassador around the world is directed to get involved in promoting the homosexual agenda in whatever country they are assigned,” he points out. “The Obama administration has made it abundantly clear that this agenda will be among their top foreign-policy priorities. They say this at a time when the U.S. is fighting two wars and is under direct threat from international terrorists.”
