He details the UN's disproportionate focus on Israel compared to other nations, the systematic elevation of authoritarian regimes in human rights bodies, and the problematic appointment of what he characterizes as biased special rapporteurs. He also examines how dictatorships manipulate UN institutions, the complicity of Western diplomats in these processes, and questions the utility of various UN bodies for democratic nations.  This episode is a part of The Hub's new Fault Lines initiative, which examines the pressures pulling Canadian society apart and the principles that can hold it together.
