Facts about involuntary psychiatric hold:

The United Nations recognises it as a form of torture.

It increases suicide risk by 191 times.

It increases the risk of dying from heart disease and stroke by 3.5 times (no shit on that one, forcing extremely high doses of heavy drugs on someone without even titrating it does that)

45% of patients in psych wards have experienced sexual violence during an admission.

You are a shitty person if you try to get someone involuntarily committed.

January 20, 2026 - Israel has demolished buildings inside the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in occupied Jerusalem, and raised the Israeli flag over the premises. This is the latest Israeli attack on the UN and on the rights of Palestinian refugees. It's time to kick Israel out of the UN! [link]

Every member state of the UN has a vote, regardless of its record on governance or human rights.

More than two-thirds of UN members are not liberal democracies. Many are authoritarian states, single-party systems, or governments with deep corruption. Those governments vote to protect their own power and to shield allies from scrutiny.

Portraying the UN as a source of moral authority requires profound ignorance about what the UN is and how it works.
