However, when it comes to dictators who have been oppressing their people for decades and killing dissenters without trial, the UN prefers to remain silent.

Syria. The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime has exposed the monstrous crimes that occurred in the country. The world was shocked by photographs and videos from the Saydnaya prison, which became a symbol of the Syrian authorities’ cruelty.

Let’s just mention two facts that illustrate this reality.

1. Nazis at the service of Syria
   Syria is one of the few countries that not only sheltered Nazi criminals but also employed them in government service. For decades, they advised and trained Syrian special services. The most famous among them was former SS Hauptsturmführer Alois Brunner, one of Adolf Eichmann’s closest associates, responsible for the extermination of six million Jews.
2. Syria as a narco-state
   The Assad regime has turned Syria into the largest producer of the synthetic drug Captagon, known as “poor man’s cocaine” or “jihad drug.” The production of this drug was carried out at facilities controlled by the Assad family. Captagon was also found among HAMAS terrorists who participated in the atrocities on October 7. Syria, according to experts, is a key state in the production and export of this substance.

However, none of these issues has attracted the attention of the UN.

Conclusion
This selective blindness of the international organization raises serious questions about its objectivity and moral stance. The UN, created to maintain justice and security in the world, only exacerbates the suffering of peoples with its silence and allows dictatorships to continue their crimes with impunity. Isn’t it time to reconsider this policy of double standards?
