]]> The UN agency for women’s rights has finally responded to our report which revealed that Sarah Douglas, the deputy chief of UN Women’s peace and security office, had endorsed 153 posts on social media accusing Israel of genocide and other crimes.

UN Women’s statement came two weeks after the Secretary-General’s Antonio Gutteres’ spokesperson admitted this was “a violation of the Code of Conduct.”

The statement from U.N. Women spokeswoman Kiri Jo Ginnerup, as published on January 5th by JNS, and then again in a nearly identical version by the Associated Press, reads as follows:

“We are aware of reports relating to a mid-level manager in personal social-media activity and its compatibility with the standards of conduct required of U.N. staff members,” Kiri Jo Ginnerup, a U.N. Women spokeswoman,  told JNS.

“U.N. Women takes these concerns seriously,” she added. “The standards of conduct are clear and breaches are dealt with appropriately and in accordance with U.N Women’s accountability and legal framework. Such processes are internal and not made public.”

 

UN Watch Response

As detailed below, UN Women’s statement is a transparent attempt to downplay its senior employee’s blatant violation of UN staff rules even though both the Secretary-General and UN Women clearly acknowledge the violation.

Two U.S. Senators have already called for Ms. Douglas to be fired, Senator Marsha Blackburn and Senator Rick Scott, and UN Watch’s petition calling for Douglas’s ouster has garnered over 12,500 signatures.

If UN Women were taking the matter “very seriously” as it claims in its statement, it would have either fired Douglas by now, or contacted UN Watch for evidence, especially given that Ms. Douglas deleted her Twitter account hours after our exposé was published. Yet no one from UN Women has even attempted to speak to us. Once again, we call on UN Women to do the right thing and fire Sarah Douglas.

1. “Aware of reports”; “takes concerns seriously”

UN Women downplays UN Watch’s expose as mere “reports” making it seems like it is just an unverified claim without factual support. In fact, UN Watch produced evidence of many of the 153 tweets written or endorsed by UN Women Deputy Chief Sarah Douglas since October 7th on her own Twitter (now X) account. While Ms. Douglas quickly deleted her Twitter account, UN Watch saved screenshots of all 153 tweets in case UN Women wishes to see the evidence.

In the next sentence, UN Women again minimizes Douglas’s egregious violations by referring to “concerns” about her “social media activity,” instead of stating straight out that it was a violation. 

2. “Relating to a mid-level manager“

Sarah Douglas is not just a “mid-level manager.” Her title—Deputy Chief of Peace and Security at UN Women—indicates that she holds a senior position at the agency. Moreover, in that role, Douglas has publicly represented the agency by speaking alongside the Executive Director, penning an article on the UN Women website, and giving interviews to the media. 

3. “Personal social-media activity”

Referring to Sarah Douglas’ tweets as her “personal social media activity” makes it seem like it was a personal account with no connection to UN Women. However, both Douglas’ account description and the content of her tweets indicate that Sarah Douglas operated it in her official capacity as a representative of UN Women. Douglas describes herself as “Deputy Chief of Peace and Security @UN_Women,” using the official UN Women twitter handle. A review of her tweets as found in the Way Back Machine confirms that Douglas used her account for professional purposes. Her tweets consist of retweets, many from other UN accounts, all related to women’s rights, gender equality, and international peace and security, with an occasional tweet of her own on these issues. Moreover, even if this was a personal account, it still violates UN rules per point 4 below.

4. “Incompatibility with the standards of conduct required of U.N. staff members”

Using the word “incompatible” to characterize Douglas’s pro-Hamas Twitter feed diminishes the severity of her violation. Considering that the spokesperson for the Secretary General already admitted on December 21st that there was a “violation,” UN Women should similarly admit the violation clearly and directly. 

As UN Women later stated, the “standards of conduct are clear.” There is no doubt that Douglas’s Twitter feed violated these standards. Article 101(3) of the UN Charter states that the “paramount consideration” in employing staff is “securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence and integrity.” The concept of integrity under the core values of the UN Staff Rules and Staff Regulations includes “impartiality.” Specifically, under Rule 1.2(f), UN staff are expressly prohibited from making “any kind of public pronouncement” that may adversely reflect on their independence and impartiality. While UN staff members may exercise the right to vote, they are prohibited from engaging in any political activity that reflects adversely upon “the independence and impartiality required by their status as international civil servants.”

Furthermore, the UN Guidelines for Personal Use of Social Media require staff “to be mindful at all times that their conduct on social media must be consistent with the principles set out in the United Nations Charter.” The Guidelines add that “staff must ensure that the expression of their personal views and convictions on social media does not adversely affect their official duties, reflect poorly on their status as international civil servants or call into question their duty of loyalty, impartiality and responsibility to the Organization.”

5. UN Women takes these concerns “very seriously”

Despite UN Women’s assertion, it does not seem like it is taking the matter “very seriously.” If it was truly treating the matter with the severity it deserves, it would have publicly fired Douglas by now. The UN has proven that it knows how to fire staff when it wants to.

At the very least, UN Women would have already contacted UN Watch for evidence of the screenshots of Douglas’s now deleted Twitter account, as UN Watch invited it to do in a December 29th Tweet reply. How can UN Women seriously investigate the matter without obtaining the evidence we saved which is no longer available online?

GENEVA, December 29, 2023 — U.S. senators are calling on UN Women to fire one of their top officials after the UN admitted that she violated their code of conduct by using her social media accounts to endorse more than 150 claims that Israel committed “genocide” and other crimes.

In wake of an exposé by a watchdog group, the UN recently admitted that UN Women Deputy Chief Sarah Douglas “committed a violation of the Code of Conduct” in connection with her anti-Israel activity on social media, that the matter is “being dealt with,” according to a statement by the UN Secretary-General’s spokesman.

“Douglas made one anti-Israel post after another, all while refusing to advocate for the innocent women Hamas terrorists abused,” tweeted Senator Rick Scott today. “The only way UN Women should deal with Sarah Douglas is by firing her.” 

Last week, Ms. Douglas deleted her social media accounts on X (formerly known as Twitter) and LinkedIn after the exposé revealed her partisan political activity in endorsing 153 posts since October 7th that promoted anti-Zionism, accused Israel of “genocide,” and celebrated shutting down bridges and highways for campaigns opposing Israel.

“The UN has admitted that Sarah Douglas violated its code of conduct for spewing antisemitic rhetoric,” tweeted Senator Marsha Blackburn yesterday. “When will she be fired for her actions?”

Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, an independent nongovernmental organization based in Geneva, welcomed what he said was “a rare admission by the UN of malfeasance committed by one of their senior officials.”

“But this isn’t enough. Although the spokesman of the UN secretary-general referred to ‘a violation’ of the UN’s Code of Conduct by Sarah Douglas, in fact there were at least 154 violations in the past two months alone.”

“We remind the UN that Ms. Douglas publicly endorsed no less than 153 tweets accusing Israel of genocide and other crimes, and that she addressed the UN from her home sitting next to a giant ‘Palestine’ poster with the colors of the Palestinian flag. Moreover, in previous years, she attacked the U.S. and glorified former PLO official Hanan Ashrawi, who recently defended the October 7th massacre.”

“Given that Ms. Douglas deleted her accounts, how will the UN find the evidence? Fortunately, we have screenshots of her tweets that have not yet been published. If UN Women is truly investigating, why haven’t they contacted us yet? We are prepared to share with them all of the evidence.”

“The UN cannot be allowed to dismiss and downplay what is in fact a lengthy, years-long pattern and practice of Sarah Douglas’ gross and systematic violations of her oath of neutrality.”

“Sarah Douglas has publicly endorsed the Hamas narrative, and every day that she remains is not only a black stain on the credibility of UN Women, but casts a shadow upon the United Nations itself. We are calling on the UN to remove her immediately.”

In a campaign launched by UN Watch with the hashtag #FireSarahDouglas on Instagram and X, nearly 10,000 people have signed a petition demanding that she be fired.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board dedicated a column to the controversy, entitled “Hamas’s Friends at the UN,” writing that “Section 101 of the UN charter on the conduct of staff notes that working as an international civil servant demands ‘integrity, independence and impartiality.’ Staff are not permitted to make statements or ‘any kind of public pronouncement’ that would call their impartiality into question. Yet Ms. Douglas carries on without rebuke.”

GENEVA, December 27, 2023 — In wake of an exposé by a watchdog group, the United Nations has admitted that UN Women Deputy Chief Sarah Douglas “committed a violation of the Code of Conduct” in connection with her anti-Israel activity on social media, and that the matter is “being dealt with,” according to a statement by the UN Secretary-General’s spokesman.

Last week, Senator Rick Scott said, “The silence of UN Women on the evil and barbaric sexual abuse of women speaks volumes. Sarah Douglas should not keep her job. These innocent women deserve better.”

Likewise, Senator Marsha Blackburn said, “UN Women has been silent about Hamas’ atrocities toward innocent civilians. It is time for terrorist sympathizer Sarah Douglas to go.”

In addition, the Wall Street Journal editorial board dedicated a column to the controversy, entitled “Hamas’s Friends at the UN,” writing that “Section 101 of the UN charter on the conduct of staff notes that working as an international civil servant demands ‘integrity, independence and impartiality.’ Staff are not permitted to make statements or ‘any kind of public pronouncement’ that would call their impartiality into question. Yet Ms. Douglas carries on without rebuke.”

GENEVA, December 18, 2023 — A top official of UN Women has deleted her social media accounts on X (formerly known as Twitter) and LinkedIn after an independent United Nations watchdog group revealed her partisan political activity in endorsing 153 posts since October 7th that promoted anti-Zionism, accused Israel of “genocide,” and celebrated shutting down bridges and highways for campaigns opposing Israel.

Screenshots captured by UN Watch, an independent non-governmental organization based in Geneva, show that Sarah Douglas, the Deputy Chief of Peace and Security at UN Women, used her Twitter account, which prominently listed her UN Women position, to endorse a number of posts that accused Israel of “genocide.”

One post accused the U.S. of “arming the genocide in Gaza.” Another said “we are currently witnessing all the forces of empire team up to annihalate [sic] the Palestinian people and struggle for freedom.”

Douglas liked posts by Democratic “Squad” members, including a post by Rashida Tlaib claiming that “Israel is starving Gaza,” a post by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that called on the U.S. to condition aid to Israel, and an Ayanna Pressley post that was critical of Israel and called for a “#CeasefireNow.”

Last week, in a briefing to the United Nations in New York on counter-terrorism, Douglas addressed the United Nations by webcam from her home with a large “Palestine” poster and flag showing in the background.

Calls for Sarah Douglas to Be Fired for Violating UN Neutrality Obligations

In a report published today by UN Watch, executive director Hillel Neuer said that “Ms. Douglas’ public political activities over at least the past six years are in gross breach of her obligations as a UN staff member to uphold neutrality and impartiality, and we are calling on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and UN Women chief Sima Bahous to fire her.”

“In a period of just two months, since the Hamas massacre of October 7th, Douglas has publicly endorsed 153 tweets of extremist politicians and fringe groups that promoted anti-Zionism, accused Israel of ‘genocide’, and called for shutting down bridges and highways,” said Neuer. “That is not neutrality, and that is not impartiality.”

“Meanwhile, she was completely silent about the Hamas mass rape, murder and abductions of many hundreds of Israelis. She promoted the Hamas lie that Israel attacked the Al-Ahli hospital on October 17th, when it was the Islamic Jihad.”

“Douglas recently endorsed posts slamming the actions of member states concerning Gaza, and she previously wrote on Facebook that America doesn’t belong on the UN Human Rights Council. It’s clear that she is acting in a manner that is not in keeping with her status as an international civil servant, and she needs to be removed,” said Neuer.

A top official of UN Women addressed the United Nations by webcam from her home with a large “Palestine” poster and flag showing in the background, and since the October 7th Hamas massacre she has publicly endorsed 153 anti-Israel and anti-Zionist tweets, revealed a Swiss watchdog group today.

Sarah Douglas, the Deputy Chief of Peace and Security at UN Women, should be fired for her blatant and systematic violations of the the UN’s minimal requirements of neutrality and impartiality, said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, an independent non-governmental organization based in Geneva that released the following report documenting her partisan political activity.

 Sarah Douglas’ Political Activity Violates UN Impartiality

Sarah Douglas’ overt political activity, including her public endorsement of extreme statements by politicians and political organizations, as detailed below, amount to a material breach of her UN obligation to be neutral and impartial.  Article 101(3) of the UN Charter states that the “paramount consideration” in employing staff is “securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence and integrity.” The concept of integrity under the core values of the UN Staff Rules and Staff Regulations includes “impartiality.” Specifically, under Rule 1.2(f), UN staff are expressly prohibited from making “any kind of public pronouncement” that may adversely reflect on their independence and impartiality. While UN staff members may exercise the right to vote, they are prohibited from engaging in any political activity that reflects adversely upon “the independence and impartiality required by their status as international civil servants.”

 

Repeatedly Accused Israel of “Genocide”

Sarah Douglas liked a tweet by the Palestinian Feminist Collective accusing “the forces of empire” of helping Israel to commit “genocide” and “annihilate the Palestinian people.”

Similarly, Douglas has repeatedly liked tweets accusing America of funding and arming “the genocide of Palestinians” and “the genocide in Gaza.”

Likewise, she liked many tweets accusing Israel of “war crimes against the people of Gaza” and indiscriminate bombing of Gaza.

By contrast, the UN Women’s Deputy Chief of Peace and Security failed to like a single tweet condemning Hamas for its open calls for genocide, including its pledges to repeat the October 7th mass murder, torture and rape of Israelis.

 

Falsely Accused Israel of Bombing Hospital

Douglas liked the tweet by UN Women chief Sima Bahous which falsely implied that Israel attacked the Al Ahli Arab Hospital on October 17th and “strongly condemned” the strike that “killed and injured hundreds of civilians.” In fact, the rocket was from Islamic Jihad; it did not hit the hospital but the parking lot of the courtyard; and the actual casualties were a fraction of that amount. The tweet was never deleted and remains on Douglas’ feed of liked tweets.

 

Celebrated Shutdown of American Bridges and Highways, Takeover of Party Conventions

Sarah Douglas liked tweets that celebrate shutting down bridges and highways in eight American cities.

She liked a tweet by IfNotNow celebrating the takeover of the California Democratic Convention to protest “the mass murder of Palestinians.”

And she liked a tweet by “Jewish Voice for Peace Action” that celebrated their shutting down of the Democratic National Committee headquarters.

 

Palestine Poster 

Speaking via webcam from her home, Sarah Douglas addressed a UN meeting last week next to a large “Palestine” poster with the colors of the Palestinian flag. This is in breach of the UN rule that speakers show only a neutral background.

 

Openly Endorsed “Squad” Politicians Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, AOC

 

Sarah Douglas likes numerous tweets of Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Bernie Sanders and other far-left politicians.

 

Douglas liked a tweet by Rashida Tlaib claiming that “Israel is starving Gaza.”

 

She liked a tweet by AOC calling to condition aid to Israel, and others about pressing the Biden administration for a ceasefire and preventing the “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians.

 

She liked a tweet by “IfNotNow” endorsing pressure on Senator Warren.

 

She liked a tweet by “Jewish Voice for Peace Action” which thanked 13 named Democratic members of Congress for opposing H. Res. 894, which condemnied the drastic rise of antisemitism in America. So a UN official is openly supporting and opposing specific votes in the US Congress and at the UN.

 

She also liked tweets by numerous other far-left and politicians who attack or criticize Israel, including Ayanna Pressley, Cori Bush and Bernie Sanders.

 

 

Endorsed Code Pink and Other Radical Groups

 

Despite her obligation to be neutral in her public pronouncements, Sarah Douglas supports radical groups like Code Pink, liking their tweet that accused US Senators Graham and Rubio “and other AIPAC $$$ recipients” over the violence they’re backing against Palestinians, accusing them of “hate and lies.” She liked another Code Pink tweet that celebrated shutting down Chicago’s main highway to “free Palestine.”

 

Douglas repeatedly liked tweets by the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), a Geneva-based group that was long accused of being a Soviet front organization, and whose officials went to Libya in 1992 to sing praises of the “Gaddafi Human Rights Prize.” Douglas liked a WILPF tweet accusing Israel of “apartheid policies” which is allegedly a “feminist demand.”

 

She also routinely liked tweets from additional NGOs and lobby groups that advocate what Hamas wants, including tweets by Democratic Socialists and Amnesty International.

 

 

Promoted Fringe Jewish Groups That Oppose Israel and Zionism

 

Douglas has a particular fondness for liking tweets by fringe Jewish individuals or groups that condemn Israel.

 

She liked numerous posts by “Jewish Voices for Peace,” including one tweet saying “We’re proud anti-Zionistsm,” with the image of a placard reading, “Zionism breaks every single Jewish value.”

 

She liked a tweet by IfNotNow promoting their “#JewsForCeasefire” campaign.

 

In violation of UN rules against overt partisan political activity, Sarah Douglas openly engaged in political campaigning by publicly liking numerous posts such as a tweet by “Jewish Voice for Peace Action” lobbying for the US government to change its policy and demand a ceasefire, which read:  “Keep writing, keep calling, keep pushing. Check our tracker… to see who in Congress is working to save lives.”

 

Liked an article by radical academic who invoked his Jewish identity to accuse Israel of “genocide” and “Jewish supremacy.”

 

 

Intervened On UN Votes, Rebuked Countries For Not Backing Anti-Israel Resolutions

 

UN employees do not comment on country votes in UN bodies. For example, when the UN Secretary-General is asked about the UN election of dictatorships to the Human Rights Council and women’s rights bodies, he systematically declines to comment.

 

By contrast, Douglas has repeatedly endorsed tweets rebuking member states for their UN votes that she opposes. She liked a tweet by the group Karama which criticized “states who claim to support women’s rights looking the other way on violence against Palestinian women.” Similarly, she  liked an AOC tweet slamming a US vote in the Security Council.

 

Notably, Sarah Douglas has never liked tweets criticizing country votes on any other matter.

 

Her “Hero” is Antisemitic Denier of Hamas Massacre

https://twitter.com/saridug/status/842818288329658370

Sarah Douglas tweeted a photo of herself with former PLO official and spokeswoman, gushing that she was “So excited to meet one of my sheroes today: Dr Hanan Ashrawi!!”

In fact, Ashrawi is someone who has promoted antisemitic blood libels, falsely accusing Israel of throwing a Palestinian child into a well. Ashrawi founded an organization, Miftah, that claims Jews consume Christian blood, and which praises suicide bombers.

Speaking on Sky News, Ashrawi recently justified the Hamas massacre and mass rape of October 7th, saying, “This was a deliberate act of resisting an occupation army.”
