发言人：Mr. Hillel Neuer
发言内容：
This council’s charter guarantees equal treatment for all peoples.Yesterday. Once again,we see that the only country in the world with a standing agenda item at this council is not the one that has 1 million Uyghurs in camps,nor the one that beats, blinds and poisons women and girls from protesting , instead,it is Israel.
This council’s credibility remains compromised so long as one nation is targeted for discriminatory treatment. that is why UN Secretary General Ban ki moon criticized this agenda item , the day after its adoption. on June 20, 2007,Mr Ban quoted ,”voiced disappointment at the council decision to single out Israel as the only specific regional item on its agenda,given the range and scope of allegations of human rights violations throughout the world”.
Likewise,the US. Britain,France,and Germany are,among many democracies that have condemned this discrimination as we witnessed.
Today,dictatorships and state sponsors of terrorism use this item to falsely accuse Israel of numerous crimes,making no mention of Hamas, Islam Jihad or Palestinian authority.
The debate is entirely one sided.As a result,many claims enter the record at the United Nations despite having no basis.In fact,therefore,today we announced the first ever website un watchdog.org/item7. that examines these claims and provides a detailed analysis citing to sources of fact and law.
The council needs to remove this agenda item until it does.We will correct the record and fight bigotry and hate.
Thank you.
