This is just utterly ridiculous!
Report: In 9 Years' Existence, UNHRC Condemned Israel More Times Than Rest of World Combined
Ahead of Debate on Gaza Report, UN Watch Releases Evidence of Systematic Bias at UN's Top Rights Body
GENEVA, June 25, 2015 - In
the nine years of its existence, the UN Human Rights Council has
condemned Israel more times than the rest of the world combined,
revealed UN Watch today, ahead of a new report to be released by the
Geneva-based NGO that documents endemic selectivity and politicization
at the world body.
The
outcome resolution for the latest Gaza report, to be introduced at the
UNHRC this week by the Palestinians together with the Arab and Islamic
states, will condemn Israel exclusively, and will mark the 62nd
resolution targeting Israel since the new and improved Council was
created in 2006 -- while the total of all other UNHRC condemnatory
resolutions for the rest of the world amounts to 55, with most of the
worst violators given a free pass, if not a seat on the council itself.
Sadly,
with members like China, Russia, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan,
Venezuela and Qatar, the UNHRC today may possibly rank as a more corrupt
international organization than FIFA.
UN Watch released the following statistics today, and urged Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to again rebuke the Human Rights Council for treating one particular group of human beings, Israelis, out of all proportion:
I. Total UNHRC Condemnations, 2006-2015
Israel: 61
Syria: 15

Somalia 0
Turkmenistan: 0

Total on Israel: 61
Rest of World Combined: 55
Methodology:
includes all resolutions from 2006 to 2015 that singled out specific
countries for condemnation under agenda items 4 and 7. Excludes
resolutions that also praise the country concerned, or those adopted as
matters of "technical cooperation."

II. Country-Specific Agenda Items: Only Against Israel
There is a special agenda item
targeting Israel
at every regular session of the UNHRC. No other country in the world
has its own agenda item -- not Sudan, not Syria, not North Korea. It is
under this agenda item No. 7 on Monday, which Western democracies in the
last year have mostly boycotted due to its selectivity, that the
Schabas-Davis report on Gaza will be formally debated.
