Episode Details

Hillel Neuer, a Montreal-born lawyer based in Geneva, is renowned for his work with UN Watch, where he exposes hypocrisy at the United Nations. He holds dictators accountable, chairs the annual Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy, and brings dissidents from oppressive regimes to speak out. Neuer is known as the most feared critic by regimes, testifying before the U.S. Congress, European Parliament, and UN General Assembly.

Neuer is particularly critical of the UNs handling of Iran, pointing out how bodies there condemn the U.S. and Israel more than Irans missile attacks or terrorism. He notes that Canada used to lead UN resolutions against Tehrans abuses but now criticizes recent U.S. and Israeli strikes for skipping the UN, even though Russia and China would block any action in the Security Council.

Dissidents tell Neuer privately that global attention keeps the regime in check, while silence lets repression ramp up. He urges Canada to arrest Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps operatives on its soil, expel them, and rally allies for a coordinated crackdown to raise costs for Tehrans networks. Neuers vision for UN reform prioritizes the worst killers with real sanctions and support for change-makers, keeping the light on true threats and urging us not to look away.
