Top UN human rights official resigns.

The director of the New York office of the UN high commissioner for human rights has left his post, protesting that the UN is “failing” in its duty to prevent what he categorizes as genocide of Palestinian civilians in Gaza under Israeli bombardment and citing the US, UK and much of Europe as “wholly complicit in the horrific assault”.

The U.N. for all thec good that it does, and it does, has its fair share of failures and shortcomings as well.
He resigned of his own accord.

@soar2newhighs He was reaching retirement age. Perhaps he wanted to retire with pizzazz.

As I remember from my Gov’t days, in my job which was loathed by Mgt, when an error was made by a few of us, one of the HR guys steps from retirement wanted to do what is called the Swan song and fire us. But because of his peccadillos himself, that never happened. He did not get a farewell tea either.
Pizzazz isn’t a given…
