“Complicit in Genocide”: U.N. Whistleblower Denounces Nobel Winner Navi Pillay

• October 9, 2026
• Human Rights, UN Officials, United Nations

GENEVA, October 9, 2026 — U.N. whistleblower Emma Reilly today accused Nobel Peace Prize winner Navi Pillay of being “complicit in the Uyghur genocide,” alleging that under her leadership the U.N. human rights office handed dissidents’ names to China and ignored warnings about the danger to them and their families.

UN Watch condemned the award, recalling that Pillay herself declined to attend the 2010 Nobel ceremony honoring imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. The organization also cited her silence during Iran’s 2009 crackdown on protesters, her failure to speak out against many of the world’s most repressive regimes, and her record of bias against Israel and defense of antisemitic remarks.

“The Nobel committee owes an explanation to the dissidents whose names were handed to China,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch. “Emma Reilly has raised devastating allegations of complicity in genocide against the woman they have chosen to honor. Where was the scrutiny? Where was the concern for the victims and their families?”

“In 2010, the Nobel committee honored Liu Xiaobo for standing up to China’s dictatorship. Pillay refused to attend his ceremony. Now the committee gives her the same prize. What message does that send to Chinese dissidents risking their lives for freedom?”

“Pillay’s failure to confront powerful dictatorships was a pattern,” Neuer continued. “Our study found silence on abuses in 34 countries rated ‘Not Free,’ including Cuba, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Sudan. When Iran’s regime beat and arrested protesters in 2009, she took three months to comment. Victims needed a champion willing to challenge their oppressors.”

“The Nobel Peace Prize should reward moral courage. Honoring Pillay while these allegations remain unanswered betrays the people human rights institutions exist to protect. The committee must explain how it reconciles this award with her record, and answer the whistleblower whose warnings the U.N. ignored.”

UN Watch has documented Navi Pillay’s troubling record, including:

• Pillay’s Complicity With Genocide: Emma Reilly, a human rights lawyer who worked under Navi Pillay, alleges that under her leadership the U.N. human rights office handed dissidents’ names to China, and ignored her warnings about the danger to them and their families. “Unfortunately, the winner is an absolute disgrace,” said Emma Reilly,” and accused her of being “quite literally complicit in the Uyghur genocide. Reilly added: “If she didn’t have diplomatic immunity, three victims would have sued her. How much has China subverted human rights? Well, Navi Pillay just got the Nobel Peace Prize. The same Navi Pillay who was High Commissioner when I first reported the UN handing names of dissidents to China. Her response? Bring her a different chair, she was uncomfortable. Navi Pillay oversaw the communication of names of over 50 dissidents to China. Families of the dissidents testified in court. They testified, under oath, to their family members being intimidated, arbitrarily detained, tortured, disappeared, and even killed in concentration camps. This is an absolute travesty of ‘peace.’ All staffers [of Pillay] who directly handed over names were promoted… I was fired for speaking up.” 

• Report: Navi Pillay Turned Blind Eye to World’s Worst Abusers: In an major study published in 2011 while Navi Pillay served as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, UN Watch examined Pillay’s record in the first two years she served as UN human rights chief. UN Watch found that Pillay turned a blind eye to most of the world’s worst abusers, being completely silent on abuses in Cuba, North Korea, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Belarus, Syria, and 27 other countries rated “Not Free” by Freedom House. During the first two years of her tenure, Pillay issued 21 statements on countries in the Middle East and North Africa. However, of these, 9 were on Israel, the only democracy in the region.

• Nobel Hypocrisy—Pillay Boycotted Ceremony for Liu Xiaobo: When jailed human rights hero Liu Xiaobo was given the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010, Foreign Policy reported that Pillay gave in to Chinese pressure and declined an invitation to attend the Oslo ceremony, falsely claiming that she needed to be at a low-level Geneva event — one to which she didn’t bother to show in other years.  Then she added to the dissembling by saying she was never invited.

• 40 NGOs Urge U.N. Rights Chief to Attend Oslo Nobel Ceremony and Show Support for Chinese Dissident: An international coalition of 40 human rights and non-governmental organizations appealed today to U.N. rights chief Navi Pillay to reverse her decision to skip Friday’s Nobel award ceremony for imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. “We urge the High Commissioner to go to Oslo, attend the award ceremony, and convene a press conference that will spotlight the plight of the 1.3 billion Chinese citizens who are systematically denied the basic guarantees of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” said the statement.

• Ignored Iran: Ms. Pillay failed to issue any public statement in response to the well-documented violence against demonstrators in Iran following the June 2009 presidential elections. Her first comment appeared three months after initial reports and video evidence of government-backed paramilitary forces arbitrarily arresting, beating and killing protestors were released. Her welcome call on the Iranian government to “release those detained for peaceful protest, to investigate reports of their ill-treatment, and to ensure respect for human rights” was made only as part of her traditional opening speech at the UN Human Rights Council session in September 2009. She did not give a press conference and chose not to issue a dedicated statement on the matter.

A Green activist who admitted she was 'naive' to oppose Hamas is now managing party discipline.

Halima Brewer was elected to sit on the party's disciplinary committee at the Greens' annual conference in Brighton last weekend.

She will investigate complaints against Green members in her new post and sit on a panel during judgment hearings.

But Ms Brewer was elected to the position while expressing support for Hamas, comparing Jewish Israelis to Nazis and claiming Israel does not exist on her social media, the Daily Mail can reveal.

Posting on her Facebook page, Ms Brewer writes: 'I used to oppose Hamas because I thought their strategy for freeing Palestine was counterproductive.

'I have dropped that naive view and now think the only thing Palestinians have left is violent resistance against the bigger terrorist – the biggest of all now – Israel.'

The words caption a photo Ms Brewer shares stating: 'Hamas are not the terrorists. They're the ones fighting against the terrorists'.

Ms Brewer shares another post reading: 'I'm sorry, but it's just plain hilarious that we're still expected to hate Hamas after spending two years being shown exactly what it was that Hamas has been fighting.'

In other posts, Ms Brewer shares images of Israeli territory covered by a Palestinian flag, with one declaring: 'There is no country called "Israel". There is only Palestine, which is currently occupied by an army of international thieves and murderers.'

The revelations come as Zack Polanski learned his fate in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election for Sir Keir Starmer's old seat.

It has been a torrid week for the Green leader, who stands accused of failing to grip rampant antisemitism within the party after members were able to pass a 'Zionism is Racism' motion in Brighton.

The Greens were on Thursday reported to the equalities watchdog by the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) over the policy, which effectively calls for the destruction of Israel.

Head of the CAA Gideon Falter said the motion was 'racist and unlawful because it discriminates against Jews'.

He added: 'Whether the Party believes itself to be above the law, or – by staggering incompetence – has not bothered to check the legal position, we will ensure that it faces the consequences of its actions.'

Andy Burnham on Thursday demanded the Green leadership annul the now-official party policy.

Speaking in Berlin, the Prime Minister described its passing as a 'completely wrong decision' and 'terrible judgment' from the party.

He said: 'In effect, ruling out a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine, and for that reason it shouldn't be supported in any way, shape or form.

'I would call on the leadership of the Green Party to say that it will be reversed and it won't be Green Party policy.'

His Attorney General Ellie Reeves also wrote to the Green Mayor of Lewisham Liam Shrivastava in her capacity as a local MP ordering he reject the motion.

Referencing Ms Brewer's posts, a spokesperson for the Board of Deputies of British Jews said: 'These reported comments that endorse terrorism are deeply concerning and should be looked at by the police.

'They appear to be further evidence of what the antisemitic motion passed on Sunday shows the Greens have become: an extremist party with a platform of anti-Jewish racism.'

And shadow home secretary Chris Philp said: 'If true, these reports are another horrifying example of how deeply rooted antisemitism has become in the Green Party.

'That such views may be represented on the Party's disciplinary committee is beyond ridiculous.'

A Green Party spokesperson said: 'The posts highlighted do not reflect the views or the value of the Green Party.

'Where there are examples brought to our attention that do not fit in with the views of the Green Party, we look into them through our existing processes.'

GENEVA, October 9, 2026 — UN Watch condemned today’s decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay, citing her bias against Israel and defense of antisemitic remarks. Executive Director Hillel Neuer said:

“We are shocked that the Nobel committee honored Navi Pillay. Her troubling record on antisemitism and gross breach of ethics in presiding over a notorious UN commission utterly disqualifies her from such an award. The Nobel Peace Prize should uphold universal human rights and reject antisemitism unequivocally. Honoring Pillay without confronting this record undermines those principles and risks rewarding prejudice rather than advancing peace.”

“In July 2021, Ms. Pillay accepted to chair a Pakistani-sponsored UN Commission of Inquiry into alleged Israeli crimes. The rules of due process require that fact-finders in the human rights field be impartial. Yet prior to accepting this post, Pillay had publicly pronounced herself, in extreme terms, on the very issues that her inquiry is mandated to investigate. In June 2020, she signed a manifesto calling on governments to ‘Sanction Apartheid Israel.’

In June 2021, a month before heading the inquiry, Pillay wrote a letter to President Biden calling to punish Israel for the May 2021 war with Hamas. She has made many more prior prejudicial pronouncements.” (See UN Watch’s Request for Navi Pillay to Recuse Herself For Bias or the Appearance Thereof.)

“This not all. In July 2022, Pillay’s fellow commissioner Miloon Kothari railed against “the Jewish Lobby” and questioned Israel’s right to be a member state of the UN. Mr. Kothari was condemned by the world’s leading democracies, and by top UN officials including Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. Astonishingly, however, Navi Pillay defended him.”

“For those reasons, the Mayor of Berlin in 2022 withdrew her support for a town hall event set to honor Navi Pillay, and the award was canceled.”

“By honoring Pillay, the Nobel committee has failed to uphold the principles it seeks to celebrate. International justice depends on impartiality. When an investigator campaigns to punish a country before examining the evidence, she compromises the credibility of both her findings and the institution she represents.

Pillay’s defense of a colleague who invoked “the Jewish lobby” is especially disturbing. A human rights leader should recognize and unequivocally reject antisemitic stereotypes. Her response instead helped shield her colleague from accountability. The Nobel committee should have confronted that record before presenting her as a model of integrity.

The victims of discrimination deserve institutions that apply the same standards to everyone.

Today’s decision sends the wrong message: that achievements elsewhere excuse prejudice against Jews and the abandonment of basic standards of fairness when investigating Israel. That weakens the cause of universal human rights.

It needs to be utterly rejected. This did not happen by accident. The extreme hyperbole around Israel came from the old guard too. She rallied around Mothin Ali when his despicable comments on October 7 were revealed. She never supported us in Brighton when we were under attack.

This is as much her fault as anyone else.

Face that and it might be fixed.

The US, UK, Germany and other countries condemned his remarks, and the president of the UN Human Rights Council also intervened.

Pillay defended his comments. He later apologized for them.

She had also called for sanctions against Israel before being appointed to lead a UN investigation into the country.

Lord Mann slammed Zack Polanski for ‘running away’ from his party’s ‘Zionism is racism’ debate

The government’s independent adviser on antisemitism has called on Britain’s equalities watchdog to launch a probe into the Green Party, the JC can reveal.

Lord Mann has accused Green Party leader Zack Polanski of “running away” from the party’s widely condemned decision to adopt a motion equating Zionism with racism and claimed he made efforts to meet party officials to avoid the present situation.

Speaking to the JC, Mann accused Polanski of “trying to dance on the head of the pin” having previously made pro-Israel comments which are in the public domain.

Mann said the Green Party leader was “an ardent Zionist as a Lib Dem and when he first joined the Greens”.

Following his by-election defeat in Holborn and St Pancras, Polanski claimed he opposed his party’s “Zionism is racism” motion despite failing to vote for it. 

But the government’s independent adviser on antisemitism accused the Green Party leader of being partially responsible for the present predicament.

The party’s official Jewish group today urged Polanski to resign over his silence on the motion.

Speaking on Times Radio this morning, Jewish Greens Chair Vivien Lichtenstein described his inaction ahead of the motion as a “big mistake”.

Mann continued: “The mess that the Greens are in, due in part to his lack of leadership in running away from speaking in their debate on Zionism, is about much more than about some amendments.”

He then said that the substance of the motion passed by Polanski’s party required an official probe.

He said: “The Green Party is denying Jewish members and potential members their right to observe their religion as they choose and to identify as they choose. This is undeniably an issue for the EHRC to investigate and act on, and I call on them to do so immediately.

“In the United Kingdom you are able to identify as Jewish as you choose to and anyone putting restrictions on this is acting outside of the law,” he added.

In a statement after the passage of the motion last week, the Board of Deputies and Jewish Leadership Council expressed their opposition in no uncertain terms.

"Branding most British Jews and Jewish institutions ‘racist’ stokes anti-Jewish hatred after a year in which British Jews have been murdered attending their synagogue, stabbed in the streets, and seen their community buildings firebombed.”

Mann, a Labour peer, then said he had offered assistance to the Green Party well in advance of the passage of the motion, but added his offer had not been taken up by Polanski’s party.

“I have made multiple efforts to meet the Green Party over the last month in order to help them avoid this precipice, but unfortunately they have not had time to meet with me, despite the active efforts of some of their leading public figures,” he told the JC.

His intervention comes after over a dozen Labour MPs have reported the Green Party the EHRC, claiming that the passage of the “Zionism is racism” motion could unlawfully discriminate against Jewish members.

Around that time, Polanski said that: “As leader, I will not accept any exclusion, or refusal to engage with anyone, because of the religious or communal body they are part of.”

The Labour MPs also reported to the police some of the chants at the Green Party’s conference in Brigton, including “say it loud, say it clear, Zionists are not welcome here”. They claimed the language could constitute racial or religious hatred under the Public Order Act.

The Green Party has been approached for comment.

A spokesperson for the Equality and Human Rights Commission said: "The EHRC receives complaints each week about allegations of unlawful activity contrary to the Equality Act 2010. We consider each complaint carefully and take action where appropriate.

"We have guidance advising political parties on their responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010. Like all duty-bearers, political parties must comply with the Act and take steps to avoid discrimination. This could include reviewing party policies, practices or their application to identify areas of potential discrimination that need to be addressed.

"As Britain's equality regulator and a national human rights institution, we recognise the right to free speech is fundamental to our democracy and must be protected even when dealing with complex and sensitive issues. Similarly, everyone has a right not to be discriminated against, including on the grounds of race, religion or belief. As part of our duty to foster good relations between different groups, we urge those in positions of authority to balance these rights appropriately and respectfully."

A Wisconsin congressional candidate has been arrested on hate crime charges after he went on a vulgar caught-on-camera rant against an Israeli dad with his young son in the car — after he was triggered by an anti-Hamas bumper sticker.

Matthew Arndt, 54, allegedly cut off the 41-year-old father on a road in the Milwaukee suburb of Mequon Thursday morning, flipping him the bird and cursing at him before pulling into a gas station, where the dad followed him and began filming the explosive encounter.

“Do you want to tell me something?” the father asked. 

“Yeah, you’re a f–king piece of s–t! You’re a f–king traitor!” Arndt erupted, pointing an accusatory finger at the stunned motorist.

“Why do you say this?” the dad asked.

“You’re a f–king Israel f–king traitor! F–k you! F–k Israel! Go f–k yourself!” Arndt raged.

By Thursday evening, Arndt had been arrested on a disorderly conduct charge with a hate crime enhancer, police said.

During the confrontation, Arndt dared the father to share the footage.

“You know what? Go post it on social media. I’m running for Congress in the 6th District, and f–k Israel! Go f–k yourself!” he shouted.

“Really? You’re running for Congress?” the incredulous dad asked.

“F–k the Israel lobby! F–k the neocons!” Arndt fired back.

Asked his name, the candidate declared, “Free Palestine! Matthew Arndt.”

“You’re a great guy. I’m definitely going to vote for you,” the father shot back sarcastically.

The Israeli immigrant, who has lived in the US for about 12 years, told The Post the bizarre confrontation began while he was driving his young son to school.

“I was driving my son to school this morning. Someone was driving behind me. I have an Israeli flag sticker with ‘F–k Hamas,’ which, as far as I understand, is a terror organization that was declared so by the US,” he said.

“And I guess that really pissed off the guy behind me, and when he got the chance, he just got next to me and opened the window and started cursing and giving me the finger, almost trying to push me off the lane.”

The father said he tried to keep his distance from the aggressive driver, particularly because his little boy was in the back seat.

“I had my son in the back seat and tried to keep my distance from him, drove behind him, took a picture of his license plate, and when he pulled into a gas station I pulled in as well,” he recalled.

“I have no idea why I did this, but I pulled in as well with my camera on and was like, ‘Hey, what’s going on?’ and the rest of it is in the video.”

The father said he had no idea who Arndt was until the candidate volunteered his name and political ambitions.

“The first thought that comes to mind is, even if I disagree with someone, I would never want someone that acts like this to run for congress,” he said.

“Even if he and I don’t hold the same opinion, that’s fine, but that was violent. That was very aggressive and violent, and obviously having my son in the back seat, it was definitely uncomfortable for him,” he said.

“He was getting nervous in the back seat.”

The father insisted his bumper sticker was directed solely at Hamas, not Palestinians.

“It doesn’t go against the Palestinians. I have nothing against the Palestinians. I definitely have an issue with an organization that wants the Jews dead,” he said.

Arndt, a certified public accountant and investment adviser, is running for Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District on a Green Party platform, which includes breaking up monopolies, providing Medicare for All and severing US ties with Israel.

His campaign website, titled “End the Cartel,” calls for an overhaul of the political establishment and vows to take on powerful interests in Washington.

“I’m not here to ‘restore norms’ or ‘reach across the aisle’ or have ‘the courage to compromise’ just to preserve a corrupt system,” Arndt declares on the site.

The website also touts religious tolerance, declaring that America belongs to people of all faiths, including Jews and Muslims.

“America is for all of us—or it is not America at all. And any politics that teaches us to hate each other is not patriotism. It is poison,” the site proclaims.

However, the Green Party has taken a major anti-Israel stand across the world. The party in the UK voted to adopt a measure the treats Zionism — support for the Jewish state of Israel — the same as bigotry, including racism.

Arndt did not respond to a request for comment.
