Indeed, it shamefully dedicates an entire agenda item to scrutinize Israel annually—the only country so segregated. As U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley has stated: “No other country—not Iran, not Syria, not North Korea—has an agenda item devoted solely to it. Agenda Item 7 is not directed at anything Israel does. It is directed at the very existence of Israel.” Israel has no realistic chance to serve on the 47-member Council. But the worst human rights offenders on the planet do and are among those judging Israel. Clearly, the UN has defaulted on its founding commitment to the “sovereign equality” of all member states. END THIS INJUSTICE. TAKE ACTION.
