Funded by Qatar, Silent on Iran: The UN’s Counter-Terrorism Fraud Report
How the UN’s counter-terrorism arm refuses to name terrorists, partners with their sponsors, and abandons its own staff
The latest report from the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) lands like a bad joke—if it weren’t so tragically dangerous. Not a single terror group is named. No Hamas. No Hezbollah. No ISIS. No Al-Qaeda. No Boko Haram. Zero. Zip. Nada.
Since 9/11, Islamic terrorism alone has claimed over 240,000 lives worldwide and from nearly 106,000 terrorist attacks. These attacks have devastated countless families, communities, and nations, leaving a legacy of destruction, fear, and death. Yet, the UNOCT report ignores these grim facts as if terrorism is some vague, abstract threat—never naming a single terrorist organization or acknowledging their real, brutal impact and cause. This isn’t counter-terrorism. This is willful deceit.
The UN’s self-inflicted legitimacy crisis
How can the UN even claim to be fit for counter-terrorism when it is deeply entangled with terrorist organizations? UNRWA, the UN agency responsible for Palestinian “refugees,” which employs terrorists implicated in kidnapping and slaughtering innocent civilians. Its schools indoctrinate children into jihad—schools administered by Hamas leaders not only in Gaza, but also in Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank. And according to the UN, jihadi education is in line with “UN principles”
The UN wants the world to believe that the root cause of Islamic terrorism is “lack of equality” and “opportunity.” This theory, while politically convenient, is a dangerous lie. It ignores the hard facts: radical jihadist groups openly preach religious extremism, global jihad, and genocidal hatred. It is not poverty or inequality fueling these campaigns of terror—it is ideology. It’s Qatar and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Qatar: The elephant in the UNOCT room
The absurdity peaks when you realize who bankrolls UNOCT. Qatar—the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, harborning Hamas and the Taliban—is also the largest funder of this very UN counter-terrorism office. But is not all, it almost looks like a money laundering scheme: Qatar is the top funder of the UNOCT, and in return, receives the lion’s share of the UNOCT “expenses.” A whooping 38%.
On March 27, the Fourth High-Level Strategic Dialogue between Qatar and UNOCT took place to discuss “strategic priorities” and “collaboration” on counter-terrorism. Ask yourself: how can Qatar advise member states on countering terrorism when it actively supports and spreads it worldwide? This is like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.
The UN’s warped priorities: Protecting terrorists, not victims
If you want to understand the true nature of the UN’s counter-terrorism failure, look no further than Prof. Ben Saul, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on the “human rights” of terrorists. That’s right—the UN has no Special Rapporteur for the victims of terrorism, only one to protect the terrorists’ “rights.”
This tells you everything you need to know about where the UN’s priorities lie. The institutional framework is designed to sanitize terror, deflect accountability, and shield jihadist actors from global condemnation—all while abandoning their victims to obscurity.
Silent on October 7, silent on Christian blood
The UN’s silence isn’t accidental. It’s policy. The organization has still not condemned the October 7th massacre, in which Hamas terrorists butchered, raped, burned, and kidnapped over a thousand civilians in Israel. It has said nothing about the 50 hostages still in captivity. No condemnations. No resolution.
It has never condemned the thousands of rockets fired by Hamas and Hezbollah into civilian towns. Nor the ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis. Nor the hundreds of drones and missiles fired by Iran . That silence has now lasted 633 days and counting.
And what about the daily slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, Congo, Burkina Faso, and other parts of North and Sub-Saharan Africa? Church bombings, mass executions, beheadings, women and children kidnapped, village burnings—these are not footnotes. They are massacres. Yet the UN cannot be bothered to say a word.
More than a year has passed since the Houthis in Yemen abducted a group of United Nations personnel—at least two dozen UN staff members from the UN remain in captivity to this day. These are UN employees, not foreign spies or combatants, yet the organization that employs them has failed to secure their release or even launch a meaningful campaign to pressure their captors.
The UN’s silence is deafening. No emergency sessions, no condemnations, no sanctions. Instead, the world watches as the same organization that demands “dialogue” with terror groups proves utterly incapable of defending its own people from those very groups. Instead, the UN decided to feed the people in Yemen. Collective punishment, much?
The bottom line
The UN’s Office of Counter-Terrorism is a costly, toothless farce. It refuses to name real terror groups, obscures the brutal realities of Islamic terrorism, enables agencies complicit in violence, and is funded and influenced by some of the worst terror sponsors on earth.
At its core, the UNOCT is not just ineffective—it’s emblematic of everything wrong with the UN. The UN cannot counter terrorism, it only knows how to shield them and be a terror organization itself.
We're in an age where terrorism and Islamic Caliphism are considered legitimate actors of Government.
It seems as though the UN has become the opposite of what it was intended to be. So pathetic.
