 Richard Falk, retired Princeton University professor of international law and a United Nations-appointed human rights expert on the Human Rights Council, was blasted by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon for suggesting in his January 11 blog entry that there was a cover-up regarding some aspects of the official account of 9/11. Falk mentioned “the reluctance to address the sort of awkward gaps and contradictions in the official explanations” that David Ray Griffin documents in his books. Falk also wrote, “What may be more distressing than the apparent cover-up is the eerie silence of the mainstream media … What must we learn from all this? Don’t connect dots without evidence.”

Sec.-Gen. Ki-Moon condemned these remarks as “preposterous”.

UN Watch, a pressure group that monitors the U.N., is calling for Prof. Falk to be removed from his post on the Human Rights Council. This incident is attracting more attention because the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs is considering problems with US payments of UN dues. US Committee Chair Lleana Ros-Lehtinen wants President Obama to pull the US out of the Human Rights Council.
