UN Human Rights Official Wants Investigation Into US Government
Role In 9/11
John Bolton: "This is exactly why we voted against
the new human rights council."

An official in the newly formed UN Human Rights Council has called
for a fresh investigation into the events of 9/11 in order to
examine the possible role that neoconservatives may have played
in the attacks.
The New
York Sun picked up the story today, explaining that
Richard
Falk, a professor of international law emeritus at
Princeton University, and an expert on human rights was assigned
to a new position within the council on March 26.
His role is to report on human rights in the conflict
between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs.
Two days prior to the announcement, Falk appeared
on former University of Wisconsin lecturer Kevin Barrett's radio
show and spoke of how he is keen to see a fresh investigation
into 9/11 in order to address inconsistencies in the official
account of what happened.
Mr. Falk told Barrett, "It is possibly true
that especially the neoconservatives thought there was a situation
in the country and in the world where something had to happen
to wake up the American people. Whether they are innocent about
the contention that they made that something happen or not, I
don't think we can answer definitively at this point. All we can
say is there is a lot of grounds for suspicion, there should be
an official investigation of the sort the 9/11 commission did
not engage in and that the failure to do these things is cheating
the American people and in some sense the people of the world
of a greater confidence in what really happened than they presently
possess."

Falk previously penned the preface to Professor
David Ray Griffin's groundbreaking 2004 book The New Pearl
Harbor, in which the theologian catalogued scores of unexplained
facets surrounding 9/11 and inconsistencies in the official government
version of events.
Falk has also published a number of notable books
and essays analyzing the legality of the Vietnam War and other
military operations, including the Iraq invasion.
A year ago he played a prominent role in a Citizens'
hearing on the legality of the Iraq War as a tribunal
testifier. Of the Invasion he has previously written:
"inescapable that an objective observer would
reach the conclusion that this Iraq war is a war of aggression,
and as such, that it amounts to a Crime against Peace of the
sort for which surviving German leaders were indicted, prosecuted
and punished at the Nuremberg trials conducted shortly after
the Second World War."
Falk's appointment to the Human Rights Council has
also hit headlines due to the fact that he has previously slammed
the Israeli occupation of Palestine and compared the Zionist government's
treatment of Palestinian Arabs to the Nazi treatment of Jews in
the holocaust.
The Israeli government announced
Tuesday that it will deny Falk a visa to enter Israel,
Gaza and the West Bank.
Despite this and the now customary attacks from
the Anti-Defamation League, Falk has stood
by his comments, telling the BBC: "If this kind
of situation had existed for instance in the manner in which China
was dealing with Tibet or the Sudanese government was dealing
with Darfur, I think there would be no reluctance to make that
comparison,"
The New York Sun reports that former ambassador
to the UN, John Bolton commented on Falk's recent appointment
to the Human Rights Council: "This is exactly why we voted
against the new human rights council."
Bolton is clearly worried that like Falk, some of
the officials within the council are legal experts that recognize
war crimes when they see them and may actually attempt to do something
about it.
Last month Japanese member of Parliament Yukihisa
Fujita told
the Alex Jones Show that a potential new investigation
of the 9/11 cover-up may be coordinated by individuals within
the United Nations.
It remains to be seen whether the Human Rights Council
is composed of enough well meaning individuals to have a significant
impact or whether, like much of the rest of the UN, it becomes
a part of the establishment left arm of the global elite system.
