OPINION: Why the UK had to crack down on the UN’s anti-Israel hypocrisy, duplicity and dishonesty – Ron Prosor, Israel’s former ambassador to the United Nations, on how Britain’s principled stance shows it can play a leading role in restoring credibility to the United Nations | Jewish News
The UK’s statement on Friday, calling out the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) for its “disproportionate focus on Israel” was an uncharacteristically forceful and public statement of truth on the issue.
It slammed “Agenda Item 7”, the structural, institutionalised mechanism singling out Israel at the Council.
Human rights in every other country are debated under “Agenda Item 4”; only Israel has an entire agenda item of its own. The result, noted Britain’s Ambassador Julian Braithwaite, is that of 135 country-specific resolutions adopted by the Council, 68 have targeted Israel.
