Reports from Dr.Prim.Hava Bugayer- Gleitman
- UNCHR Item 7 , debate of the first report delivered by the commission of inquiry (COI)
- UN Watch side events
Israel is the only state that has been tabled for years under the so-called Item7 at every meeting of the Council of Human Rights in Geneva (UNCHR), giving the council the opportunity to repeat it’s “orchestrated onslaught” and condemn Israel at each of its meetings.
Refering to the “exacerbation of the conflict on the temple mount” in Jerusalem in 2021, the UNCHR decided to nominate a neutral body to investigate the “The Human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and the obligation to ensure accountability and justice.”
Navi Pillay, who is well known for her bias towards Israel and for enabling a platform for disseminating anti-Semitic propaganda during her tenure with the UNCHR between 2008-2014, was appointed chair of the commission of inquiry (COI). Under this precondition, that excluded a fair investigation, Israel refused to cooperate with this COI.
The mandate of the commission was not limited, neither when exploring the past nor for the future duration, and yearly costs of millions of dollars have been allocated for this purpose.
