More about the human rights frauds at the UN, via UN Watch:

UN Watch, an independent non-governmental organization that monitors the UN human rights system in Geneva, today expressed concern over an unprecedented breach of jurisdiction by a group of UN officials who issued a statement on the Hamas-Israel war, despite having defined mandates on entirely unrelated issues.

According to UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer, “The vast majority of the experts purportedly represented by the committee in its statement today have entirely unrelated mandates, including on countries like Somalia, Haiti, Burundi, Cambodia, North Korea, or on issues like toxic waste and transnational corporations. They have no legal authority to speak on issues irrelevant to the defined mandates given them by the Human Rights Council.  What one expert cannot address on his or her own does not become justiciable simply by joining others. There are grounds for concern that basic procedures at the Arab-controlled U.N. human rights council and its related entities will fall by the wayside when Israel is in the news and a potential target.”

The mandate of the representative committee of experts gives it no independent authority to issue statements on country situations.

Worse, said Neuer, the imbalanced content of the statement “seems to follow the party line of the Human Rights Council that oversees these officials, which has condemned Israel in 20 out of 25 of its resolutions on countries, while legitimizing Hamas terrorism and rocket attacks.”

“The word Hamas appears nowhere in their statement, and its responsibility for the crisis — as acknowledged by the Arab leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Palestinian Authority — is nowhere mentioned by the UN experts. Nor is there any mention of the double war crime of Hamas’ targeting of Israeli civilians and then hiding among Palestinian civilians. UN Watch reminds the UN experts of their solemn obligation to be objective in carrying out their work.”
