Rudy Boschwitz, the Ambassador Nobody Knows

(Weekly Standard) Scott Johnson - The UN Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR) is a cesspool of anti-Semitism - of which Israel is, of course, the primary focus. As Anne Bayefsky noted, business as usual at the 60th session of the UNCHR included the adoption of five resolutions condemning Israel and devoting three hours of the schedule to mourn the death of Hamas terrorist leader Sheikh Ahmad Yassin. On March 4, President Bush nominated Rudy Boschwitz to represent the U.S. in this troubled body. Boschwitz was born in Berlin in 1930.
