On the ashes of World War II, a severely wounded and dispersed international community decided to build an organization<\/a> to \u201cmaintain international peace and security\u201d, while working towards \u201cdeveloping friendly relations among nations and promoting social progress, better living standards, and human rights\u201d. The world had learned that the inaction of responsible nations can lead to global catastrophe.<\/p>\n

Seventy-seven years on, the United Nations did indeed prevent many conflicts and shaped alliances, but the UN stage has also hosted many dictators, human rights violators, and enabled aggressors and state terrorists.<\/p>\n

The current world order has set a standard to accept anyone who takes control over a country with whatever means, perhaps arguing that a bounded dictator is better than a renegade state. Statements of concern only last a few weeks, if not days, and it takes only a natural disaster for the \u201cfree world\u201d to begrudgingly reach out to the \u201cnew leadership\u201d and offer help to the state for the sake of the \u201csuffering people\u201d. Consequently, new relationships are formed, and dealing with evil becomes the new norm.<\/p>\n

No one questions the consequences and if the standard would not be a motive for every warlord and fascist movement to try a coup and instigate war. The word is called diplomacy,<\/em> but the message translates to impunity.<\/p>\n

The regime in Iran has widely been criticized as one of the biggest human rights violators<\/a> and the most active state sponsor of terrorism at the same time. While both designations incorporate the regime\u2019s handling of human lives, the latter is directly a result of the world\u2019s ignorance of the first.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a surprise that Iranian state officials systematically deny the Holocaust<\/a>. But don\u2019t make a mistake. They are not judging the past, they are legitimizing their routine today and what will come in the future.<\/p>\n

Despite desperate calls by the West for Tehran to change its behavior, Ali Khamenei installed Ebrahim Raisi, an illiterate thug who had no professional career other than executing people from teenagerhood into his sixties. Apparently, Raisi was too extreme by the regime\u2019s own standards and Khamenei had to eliminate all insiders, even his own senior advisor, for his selection<\/a> to succeed on the ballot box.<\/p>\n

It took a few statements of concern about the regime\u2019s \u201cquestionable elections\u201d and soon, the European Union sent a top diplomat to Tehran for Raisi\u2019s inauguration and set the new standard.<\/p>\n

Ebrahim Raisi has no place on #UNGA<\/a>. He should be put on trial before International tribunals for his direct role in the #1988Massacre<\/a> of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran and his support for terrorism. #ProsecuteRaisiNOW<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/M9o0sJlMNO<\/a><\/p>\n
