UN rights council plans BDS assault on Israel, but Israeli diplomats are on strike (UN Watch)
"While Israeli diplomats remain on strike, the 47-nation UN Human Rights Council is planning to launch a massive attack on the Jewish state next week in a series of five resolutions that — expressly citing controversial UN official Richard Falk — include new accusations of racism, along with calls to impose “international criminal liability” on businesses with indirect links amounting to “corporate complicity in breaches of international law related to illegal settlements.”

FN:s råd för mänskliga rättigheter är tyvärr närmast ett dåligt skämt.Man satsar tid på att fördöma Israel och prisa omänskliga diktaturer. Varför? Jo därför att diktaturerna är väl representerade i rådet och stöder varandra.

UN Watch:Mr. President, are these words a fair representation of human rights in Saudi Arabia?
No.
The truth is that there are zero women’s rights, zero religious rights, zero minority rights, zero human rights, in Saudi Arabia. The truth is that Saudi Arabia has an entrenched system of gender apartheid. The truth is that Saudi Arabia should never have been elected as a member of this Council."
