Saudi Arabia is the Chair of the UN's Counter-Terrorism Centre Advisory Board. Well, it does know a lot about terrorism - as a major player in the realm of training, financing and indoctrinating terrorists. Saudi Arabia has also ratified the terrorism treaty of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which defines terrorism to exempt hitting Jewish or American or any other target while engaged in "armed struggle against foreign occupation, aggression, colonialism, and hegemony, aimed at liberation and self-determination." So how did Saudi Arabia come to Chair the UN "counter-terrorism" group? The UN website unabashedly informs us that they bought it: "In 2011, through a voluntary contribution of the Government of Saudi Arabia, the United Nations Secretariat was able to launch the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre (UNCCT)." The Obama administration responded by joining their Advisory Board.
