New York State Conservative Party Calls on United Nations to Leave New York City, U.S.
Brooklyn, NY — The New York State Conservative Party today called on the United Nations to relocate its headquarters outside of the U.S., citing the institution’s decline from a once-hopeful postwar body into what Party leaders describe as a “bureaucratic shell hostile to America and its values.”
“New Yorkers once took pride that our city hosted the United Nations,” said New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar. “It was a symbol of hope after World War II, and it gave New York a special distinction as the ‘Capital of the World.’ Sadly, the institution has since devolved into a body dominated by anti-American, anti-Semitic, career bureaucrats. It is no longer a source of pride but of embarrassment.”
Mr. Kassar pointed to decades of complaints about UN diplomats routinely ignoring New York City’s traffic and parking laws, undermining the rule of law in the very city that hosts them. “The UN has long treated New York with contempt, even as we house and protect it. The brazen disregard its diplomats show toward the laws of our city is symbolic of the organization’s larger failings.”
The Party also noted the immense value of the East River real estate where the UN complex sits. “That property is priceless,” Mr. Kassar continued. “New Yorkers would be far better served by a public park with a water view than by continuing to subsidize an institution that works against the interests of our nation and our allies.”
“The time has come for the United Nations to find a new home — if any country would be willing to accept a body that has morally deteriorated to the point of uselessness. New York has been more than generous for nearly eight decades. It’s someone else’s turn.”
