Navi Pillay Received the Nobel Peace Prize much to the chagrin of the Orange POTUS.

Nothing petty really just flat out ridiculous.

From the Guardian.

“The United States of America, represented by me as your president, should have received the Nobel peace prize, but didn’t. And this is an indelible stain on the country of Norway, and those people that made such a disgraceful and embarrassing decision,” Trump said.

“The Nobel peace prize has been forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and really enemies of civilization,” Trump went on. “We will not forget, Norway, that you didn’t give this prize.”

Trump also recited a list of wars he claims to have settled, some of which were not wars and some that are still not settled, before adding: “I’m about to settle or win two more: Iran and Russia-Ukraine.”

Trump said he would be ending both wars “quickly”.

“I will tell you what,” he added, darkly. “Iran will be very quick one way or the other: that they give us everything or they don’t exist any longer.”

“Additionally, I stopped Iran from having a nuclear weapon and blowing up the entire Middle East and ultimately far beyond the Middle East, including Europe, perhaps the US and I saved more lives than anyone in history,” Trump claimed, despite the fact that US intelligence agencies reported to Congress in 2025 that Iran had actually suspended its pursuit of nuclear weapons in 2003.

“Despite all of this and all of these unbelievable accomplishments, the Nobel prize was given out today to a liberal person who works at the United Nations, who nobody has ever heard of,” Trump said of Navi Pillay, the South African former UN human rights chief who chaired the UN commission that concluded Israel was guilty of genocide in Gaza.

In Pillay’s first public comments after learning of the award, she joked to colleagues at a conference of human rights lawyers in Nuremberg, Germany, on Friday: “If you clap a little bit more, I may share this prize with Trump.” She then burst out laughing.

    Perhaps because she & UN helped China identify Uyghur,Tibetan.&HongKong dissidents for imprisonment.

    Which is another reason why the US should be very wary of the UN whose allegiances bend toward China in so many ways.

    This is more than just an accusation. The UN admitted that the practice of doing so under Pillay was carried out.
    Pillay's department at the UN would get requests to attend conferences on Human rights at the UN, and then her department would discretely send the list of dissidents to China.
    One case highlighted is that of Dolkun Isa whose family was then imprisoned. His mother died in a prison camp, his father died under mysterious circumstances, another brother got a life sentence but has gone missing, and another brother who got a long prison sentence.

    Pillay has had no comment.

        Here's the article with her claim in Le Monde (she is an Irish National)

        BaronVonZemo64414 posts

        Here is the summary from Google's AI in english of the article. These are the whistleblower's claims that you requested:

        "Overview of Emma Reilly’s Le Monde Article
        Emma Reilly’s Le Monde piece describes her as a former UN human rights officer who was dismissed after exposing alleged Chinese pressure on the UN Human Rights Council to withhold dissident names, framing her as a lone whistleblower confronting institutional complicity
        Le Monde
        Le Monde
        .

        Context and Background
        Reilly, 42, an Irish national, had worked as a UN “human rights officer” since 2012, helping organize interventions at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva
        Le Monde

        .She had previously worked for NGOs against torture in Denmark and Tunisia.

        The Whistleblowing Allegations
        According to Le Monde, Reilly accused the UN’s Human Rights Council of granting China “special treatment” under pressure from Beijing, including handing over names of Chinese dissidents who were scheduled to speak at the council
        Le Monde
        Le Monde
        . She claimed this was done to protect China’s interests and that the UN’s leadership caved to Chinese demands.

        The article recounts that in early 2013, a Chinese diplomat in Geneva sent her a “favor” request confirming that “anti-government separatists” would attend the council, allegedly posing a threat to the UN and China’s delegation
        Le Monde
        Le Monde
        . Reilly says she reported this to her superiors, but the UN did not act.

        Consequences
        By late 2021, Reilly had been sidelined for two years, with no assignments and restricted access to her UN email. Le Monde reported that her dismissal followed her public disclosure to the press, including Le Monde itself, and that her communications with media and member states were cited as grounds for termination
        Le Monde

        Significance
        The article portrays Reilly as a lone whistle-blower who exposed what she saw as systemic corruption and political interference within the UN’s human rights machinery. It highlights the tension between the UN’s human rights mission and geopolitical pressures, and underscores the lack of whistleblower protections at the UN
        Le Monde"
