The United Nations once again establishes itself as the anti-Israel, anti-American liberal-left party that it is. Yes, party. Global, left-wing, political party.
Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs covers it succinctly in “UN Hits Bottom, Digs”.
The new United Nations “Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967,” Richard Falk, is really a winner.
He’s a 9/11 Troofer.
And he stands by his ridiculously offensive and extreme anti-Israel statements: UN expert stands by Nazi comments.
The next UN investigator into Israeli conduct in the occupied territories has stood by comments comparing Israeli actions in Gaza to those of the Nazis.
Speaking to the BBC, Professor Richard Falk said he believed that up to now Israel had been successful in avoiding the criticism that it was due.
Professor Falk is scheduled to take up his post for the UN Human Rights Council later in the year.
He’s also a big fan of Ward Churchill.
Oh brother.
This National Post editorial is another good synopsis:
National Post
Published: Wednesday, April 09, 2008In theory, the United Nations Human Rights Council, established in March, 2006, was supposed to correct the failings of its farcically biased predecessor, the UN Human Rights Commission. The now-defunct commission, whose membership included at one point or another such champions of human rights as China, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, Syria and even Sudan, spent most of its time criticizing Israel for alleged crimes against the Palestinians while conveniently overlooking the (actual) crimes against humanity being perpetrated by its own members.
Unfortunately, but perhaps not unexpectedly, the UN Human Rights Council has followed the same path: By the end of its first year of existence, the council had passed nine resolutions condemning Israel—and had not spoken out against another country. In June, 2006, it voted unanimously to establish a special rapporteur on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a resolution sponsored (surprise, surprise) by the Organization of the Islamic Conference. Later this year, law professor Richard Falk will assume that post.
