Written by Prof. Gerald M. Steinberg and Published in the Jerusalem Post, December 9th 2007 Monday, December 10 is International Human Rights Day – commemorating the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the members of the United Nations in 1948. Following the unimaginable horrors of the Holocaust, the signatories pledged to protect the “inherent dignity” and the “equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family.” But like other promises made during this period, this one was also soon violated. In much of the world, human rights, including the basic right to life, are given

NGO Monitor continues to scrutinize NGO involvement in planning the Durban Conference 2009: The NGO Forum of the 2001 UN World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance initiated a coordinated campaign of virulent anti-Israel demonization – the “Durban Strategy.” The UN’s “Durban II” 2009 forum is intended to focus on implementation of the 2001 resolution. In November 2007, activities aimed at furthering the “Durban Strategy” and the planning of the “Durban 2009” conference continued. The NGO Committee Against Racism (part of the Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative

The Arabs rejected the offer, the Jews accepted the offer. To cope with their shame of making one of the stupidest mistakes in Islam’s 1,400 year history which includes various episodes of regression, repression, imperialism, murder, slaughter, genocide, terrorism, and beheadings, the Muslims fabricated a holiday to be celebrated on subsequent November 29ths, and call it the “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People”. It’s enough to make one puke. Fortunately, the Jews have articulate and

By a vote of 167 to 7, UN Watch reported that the committee approved a package altering the procedural mechanisms of the Human Rights Council in the following ways: The Council will no longer retain or hear from country monitors or experts reporting specifically on rights abuses in Cuba or

Israeli officials said the statement failed to mention potential victims on the other side of the border or to make a direct reference the November 2 incident. “Regrettably, the abuse of human shields by Palestinian terrorists and the violation of a U.N. installation for terrorist purposes have not yet been clearly condemned by the U.N.,” an Israeli envoy to the U.N. General Assembly committee
Read More +An excellent read from Anne Bayefsky. An excerpt, from Geneva Conventions: A year ago, then Secretary-General Kofi Annan dissolved the U.N. Commission on Human Rights under pressure, after the commission discredited itself repeatedly, even electing a Libyan chairman. Now its successor — the U.N. Human Rights Council — is proving itself to be worse than what it replaced.This week the council marked its first anniversary in Geneva, Switzerland, by adopting an agenda that is an affront to the civilized world. It deletes the job of investigating human rights violations in the brutal dictatorships of Belarus and Cuba and instead focuses

Using “international law” as a crutch. From Israel Retaliates: Hamas, the murderous gang that rules Gaza, has declared permanent war on Israel, vowing never to accommodate to the reality of the Jewish state. But Hamas has not only declared war on Israel, the suicidal messianists and their allies in the struggle actually make war on Israel – continuously. A short while ago a Kassam rocket fired by Palestinians in Gaza wounded some 60 soldiers in training, only a bit after another rocket had hit a school with children in it. Israel has now decided to cut off fuel and electrical

From What Is the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Doing in Iran?: UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour traveled to Iran last week to listen attentively to Holocaust-denier Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a human-rights meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement, currently chaired by Cuba. While Arbour was hobnobbing with anti-Semites, butchers, and anti-democratic forces from around the world, Iranians were being prepared for public hangings. The Iranians were delighted at Arbour’s visit. They clearly understood her presence as support for their view that human rights are all relative.
