Message from Ambassador Alfred H. Moses, Chairman of UN Watch
Welcome to the UN Watch website, dedicated to what we care about most: protecting the values of human dignity and equality upon which the United Nations was founded. Our mandate is to monitor the UN according to the noble principles of its charter, and to promote fundamental freedoms for all. At www.unwatch.org, citizens around the world now have easy access to the most up to date information and analysis on UN affairs, with a focus on human rights.
Our Home Page, under "Editor's Pick", offers a cross-section of the latest UN news, comment and documents. Our regular UN Watch Briefings bring an in-depth look behind the headlines, as do our articles published in major publications around the globe, including the International Herald Tribune, The New Republic Online, Israel's Haaretz, Canada's National Post and Europe's Juriste International. UN Watch, with our Geneva headquarters situated at the very heart of the UN's human rights apparatus, frequently testifies before the Commission on Human Rights and other important UN bodies, often representing large coalitions of non-governmental organizations. Read the full text of our UN speeches, or listen to them on their original audio recordings. UN Watch is unafraid to speak out on issues that matter.
