The UN Human Rights Council spent $23 million in foreign aid money on a mural:
The U.N. Human Rights Council, frequently accused of coddling some of the world’s most repressive governments, threw itself a party in Geneva Tuesday that featured the unveiling of a $23 million mural paid for in part with foreign aid funds.
In a ceremony attended by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Spanish artist Miquel Barcelo told the press that his 16,000-square-foot ceiling artwork reminded him of “an image of the world dripping toward the sky” â but it reminded critics of money slipping out of relief coffers.
“In Spain there’s a controversy because they took money out of the foreign aid budget â took money from starving children in Africa â and spent it on colorful stalactites,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of U.N. Watch.
