Fighting the United Nations Human Rights Council's Institutionalized Antisemitic Agenda in Geneva

Year
2022

The Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Council (UNHRC) dispenses injustice and hatred with an antisemitic and anti-Israeli agenda. It established the Pillay Commission with the sole mission of vilifying Israel. When the Pillay Commission declared that Israel’s “occupation” of Palestinian territory violates international law and demanded that Israeli soldiers be prosecuted in the International Court of Justice for war crimes, Shurat HaDin flew a group of IDF reservists to stage a large protest outside the body’s European headquarters. In 2021, the Biden administration rejoined the Pillay Commission after a four-year absence, arguing that it would be easier to defend Israel from within, and promising to obstruct the anti-Israel activities. But its heinous anti-Israel agenda continues unabated. Shurat HaDin relentlessly lobbies governments from across the world to remove themselves from the UNHRC, and we demand that the U.S. government declare the Pillay Commission a hate group, and immediately resign from its ranks.
