UNHRC arms embargo call against Israel passes with EU OK, Bahrain absence – Those six countries that opposed the resolution were: Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Malawi and Togo. | The Jerusalem Post | JPost.com
The United Nations Human Rights Council approved a resolution calling for an arms embargo against Israel that had the support of many of the European countries but received a nod of disapproval from Bahrain, which was absent for Tuesday’s vote.
The measure, dubbed the accountability resolution, passed 32-6, with eight abstentions. It included some of the harshest language against Israel out of the four resolutions that the 47-member UNHRC is expected to approve, as the 46th session ends this week.
