our national security is strengthened when we're at the table at the united nations and the united nations more effective when american leadership and values are on display. in a time where the world is in turmoil, it is the interest of the american people from the united states to support and maintain cultural alliances and institutions that create stability, more important today than ever before. we already have seen that instability and unrest bringing cr crisis to our own doors. in the 20th century, europe has been divided by wars and rivalries. today, europe faces its challenges but the progress in creating a stable and free europe with such institutions as nato, the eu, the organization for security and cooperation in europe has contributed to european peace, stability and prosperity and to the american strength, well-being and leadership in the world as well. the vitality and endurance of these institutions serve the interests of the united states. so let me just mention one last point. i was particularly disturbed by president-elect trump's comments over the weekend about nato, as

or other affiliated body of the united nations. and it goes on, until such time as the united nations security council resolution 2334 regarding israel's settlements in the west bank and east jerusalem is repealed in its entirety. then section 3 says no funds are authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available to pay interest on assessed or voluntary contributions that are withheld under this act. and so the purpose of that is i'm hoping and praying that this body will not just pay lip service to a u.n. resolution and actually embrace, as john kerry was saying today, not that much difference between aipac's position supporting this resolution , he may not have mentioned there was support for the resolution, but the aipac position and john kerry's position and if you look at what's in the resolution, he may have something there. but this would actually put some teeth into it. this is something that would send a message to the united nations and the nations around the world that if you're going to continue to be so anti-isr

states at united nation. just as other nominees for this position have done, i'm hear to outline vision and discuss my qualification. my store story is an american sto story. my parents have come to india close to gulf up come for the with $8 because of the freedom this country offers. because it is one that has been repeated many times by many people in american history. growing up in a small rural community in the south our family was difficult. we were not white enough to be white, or black enough to be black. our nabts didn't know what to make of us so we did face challenge but those challenges pealed next to the abundance ahead of us. my mom social study teacher and -- when i was 13 i do the books. when i got to college i realize it wasn't normal. in my family we worked. i was privileged to take advantage of the education that america affords. i aware that 13-year-old that does not exist in far too many words around the world today. serving the people of south carolina has been the greatest honor of my l

in the united nations and noted in 2016 alone, the u.n. adopted more resolutions critical of israel than other nations that violate international law and human rights, more than syria, more than iran, more than north korea, more than south sudan, more than russia, combined. more about israel. a one-sided resolution that assigns exclusive blame to israel without addressing palestinian incitement of violence or their continued in prospects undermines for a two-state solution. this reference of israeli presence in east jewel, including the jewish quarter of the old city and the western wall as illegal. the only way to achieve a real and lasting peace that enables israel to protect its security -- can i get 15 seconds additional? mr. engel: you don't have it. mr. hoyer: i urge my colleagues to support this resolution. mr. hoyer: israel needs to protect its security and remain a jewish state and a democratic one is a two-state sluse that i support. there are parties to this both food to take steps towards peace. for israel this means not buildi

states -- united nations, designed to cut u.s. taxpayer funding going to the u.n., unless and until they repeal this disgraceful anti-israel resolution. we know previously that one way to get the u.n.'s attention is cut off their money. we know from the failure of other u.n. organizations to recognize so-called palestine as a member state, after american taxpayer dollars were withheld from unesco for doing so in 2011, that the u.n. over and over again values its pocketbook over its leftist values. and however unintentionally, president obama's misguided foreign policy has led to an unprecedented reproachment between israel and america's arab allies such as egypt and jordan and the u.a.e. we have also seen hopeful signs of shifting positions at the united nations as countries such as brazil and mexico and italy and australia have recently signaled that they may no longer reflex civil vote in favor -- reflexively snroat favor of the palestinians. they have recently demonstrated and unprecedented degre degree f support for the jewish

council of the united nations. united nations, nikki haley of south carolina to be representative of the general assembly. the presiding officer: there will now be 30 minutes of debate equally divided in the usual form. mr. scott: thank you mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from south carolina. mr. scott: thank you, mr. president. today i stand in support of my good friend and governor, nikki haley, who has been nominated for the position of ambassador to the united nations. simply put, governor haley is the right choice, and i could not be prouder to support her nomination. she has shown amazing leadership during very trying times in south carolina, and i know that she will bring the same strength and resolve in reinforcing and strengthening our relationships with our allies. as she showed through her confirmation hearing, nikki is a strong, principled leader. and during a time with so much international instability, we need a decisive and compassionate leader like governor haley representing our n

nations. -- the israelis, not at the united nations. the one-sided anti-israeli resolution will only make peace harder. the u.n. adopted 20 anti-israeli resolutions last year while passing just four for the rest of the world. the u.n. is not fair and unbiased. by pointing the finger solely at israel, the ruent -- the recent resolution did not go toward peace. the palestinian authority has failed to stop violence against jews, and it continues to get -- get this, mr. speaker -- to make payments to jailed palestinian terrorists who have harmed or killed jews. over the years israel has traded land for promised peace. they have no peace, and soon if the united nations gets its way, it will have no land. despite the administration's policy of abandoning our trusted ally, israel, the united states congress must stand with our ally, israel. and that's just the way it is. i'll yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from california reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. engel: mr. speaker,

hear that, united nations. and you had a clip on earlier of lindsey graham and ted cruz introducing legislation. cut off u.s. funding to the un because of that first resolution. here we see the un bringing old adversaries together. it's an amazing way that works. i think the only thing they respect is our money. and i think donald trump should seriously consider supporting the cruz graham legislation and cutting off their money. lou: let me ask you this. former ambassador of the united nations. this is an institution that has in the rarest of moments has been useful to the international community, if i can put it that way. one of the moments that has not been recent. it is an obstacle to process peace processes in the middle east in nearly every instance. it is a -- nothing more than an incredible nuisance to u.s. foreign policy. why the heck not just defund the whole thing? get it off the island of manhattan and move on? with a new idea. a new organization, a new thought. because this is really -- this makes e

speaking about the need for a united nations. if if we try to figure out what that krieshl incrimination was, the next word was "hitler." as we've seen over the course of the decades the united nations has been in existence, starting to turn into a form that is exactly what the united nations was formed to fight against. this was an anti-israel, pro-plin sentiment that -- pro pal lynnian that was trytion to cleanse the area. that's why the arguments are gaining steam, the united nations is turning into a body that is pushing the type of sentiment that was spoe supposedly created. >> some say it violates international law, having the sellements continue to be built you are inciting and causing potentially more violence and reaction and that the palestinians have rights to that land, too. >> well, first off it should be noted how many times there's been opportunities for the palistineans to have their own state, they have chosen time and again to vote against it. it is the palestinians murdering americans, and in several cases, the

the united nations says, "the current spate of fighting amounts to ethnic cleansing, and could spiral into genocide." the main rebel group is headed by the former vice president, riek machar, who is now in exile. my guest today is his wife, angelina teny, who is a senior member of the movement. how much responsibility do they bear for the suffering in south sudan? thank you very much. angelina teney, welcome to hardtalk. the situation in south sudan is dire. what are you hearing about what's going on on the ground? well, you said it is dire. the humanitarian situation has reached a level of catastrophe. the war is escalating even further, and the economic situation, what we could say is it is no longer on a free fall, but rather it has crashed the country. so, in a nutshell, you can say that the situation for the normal citizen, for the person there, is really one of desperation. the united nations humanitarian chief, stephen o'brien, says that 6 million people, that's half of the population, are in need of humanitarian assistance. 5 million are in danger of starvation. 3 million have

kennedy: america might can seceding or at least the united nations. president trump is proposing a 40% reduction in support for the united nations. america is nearly a quarter of its funding. supporters say it's an specksive talk shop with a lot of members who gleefully violate human rights on a daily basis. more on the book in just a little bit. let's talk about the u.n. welcome to the show. and congratulations on the publication of the book. so you know a lot about the u.n. you have traveled and written extensively internationally. aren't these elitist bodies outdated? >> far be it from me to say that elitist bodies have to leave the planet earth. but the he athletes who have been running these international institutions have messed up. you look at everything from how the e.u. struged to cope with immigration and the vie bit of its currency to the world bank and the international bankers who rigged the libor rate. there is a pattern of misconduct and a failure to apprehend reality fast enough to react in the proper way. international bodies like the

the united nations, in need of reform but vital still, has its foundation in the special relationship. from the original declaration of st. james' palace to the declaration by the united nations signed in washington and drafted themselves by winston churchill and president franklin d. roosevelt. the world bank and international monetary fund, born in the post -war world were conceived by our two nations working together. and nato, the cornerstone of the west's defense, was established on the bonds of trust and mutual interest that exist between us. some of these organizations are in need of reform. and renewal to make them relevant to our needs today. but we should be proud of the role that are two nations working in partnership played in bringing them into being and in bringing peace and prosperity to the people of the world as a result.

when you see the unit t nations solving problems? they don't. they cause problems. if it lives up to the potential, it's a great thing. if it doesn't, it's a waste of time and money. >> president-elect donald trump not happy with the united nations for condemning our ally israel and not happy with the obama administration for letting it happen. well, now some republican lawmakers calling for the u.s. to cut off u.s. funding to the united nations. should we? , everybody, happy new ars. welcome to force on fox. let's find out with steve forbes, john, bruce. steve, we'll deal with the u.s. role in all this in a moment, but should this be the last straw for the u.n.? doesn't it do more harm to the u.s. and allies than good? >> this is a perfect opportunity to throw down the market. we've withdrawn from organizations like unesco part of the u.n. in the past. we should withdrew from various other organizations in the u.n. that wouldn't have any treaty violations and we've got to send the message out there. we're not going to be a patsy for these things in the future. by t

, south korea has a former foreign minister who is the secretary general of the united nations. a south korean diplomat was present -- was president of the human rights council. these countries are vying for legitimacy to make the claims that they are the government of all korea. north korea is in a real bind. it has very little to make that claim. with very little regard to human rights, the north koreans are very sensitive about what is going on. ,hen they were first criticized they made suggestions that they tried to make progress on areas that were not sensitive lyrically, dealing with the issue of people with disabilities. the north koreans, when they reported to the u.n. human rights council, they announced they had signed the convention on people with disabilities. they made progress and were working with nongovernment organizations to deal with people with disabilities. british hosted the olympics four years ago, there were a couple of south korean disabled athletes who participated in the paralympics. so, the north koreans are sensitive. the problem is, because of the n

we didn't pass judgment on recent events at the united nations. in fact, those of us working on this resolution have varing views on that question. nor did our resolution include politically charged attacks on the foreign policy priorities of the other party. instead, our resolution is carefully designed to allow a broad bipartisan consensus to speak in one voice in support of a two-state solution as the most credible pathway to peace. unfortunately, this substitute amendment was not made in order by the rules committee. which instead moved forward with the closed rule we have before us. the alternative resolution has now been introduced separately as h.res. 23, and it's available for co-sponsorship. but today we don't have that before us because of this rule. members don't have the opportunity to vote on this or any other resolution that accurately affirms both our relationship with israel and the long-standing bipartisan consensus that supports a viable two-state solution. instead, we're presented with an extreme resolution that badly distorts t

when the united nations was founded there were just 51 member states, a fraction of today's 193. some great contemporary powers were not yet independent nations and many countries that did exist did not have a say much less an equal voice in developing its rules. in addition, some of the threats that we face today such as violent terrorist groups and cyber attack's would have been unimaginable to the architects of that system. so there are many reasons why the rules-based order conceived in 1945 is not perfectly tailored to the challenges that we as an international community face in 2017. and it is reasonable to think that we need to update those rules with more voices at the table, some of which we will not agree with. yet it falls to as the system may come, the vast majority of countries today recognize that we all benefit from having rules of the road that constrain certain kinds of behavior, to enhance our shared security rules that must not be rewritten by force. now i also acknowledge that there are times when the actions the united states takes in the interest of defendin
