(Jerusalem Post) Anne Bayefsky - The old Human Rights Commission spent 40 years adopting country-specific criticisms, a third of which condemned Israel. Now 50% of the new "reformed" UN Human Rights Council's country-specific resolutions and decisions are devoted to Israel-bashing. There have been 12 special sessions in the last five years, half of them on Israel. There have been more human rights reports commissioned on Israel than on any other state. And only one country is not allowed even to attend the lobbying and information-sharing regional meetings associated with the Council sessions - Israel - while "Palestine" is invited to all of them. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UN Ambassador Susan Rice on March 31, 2009, explained: "The Council...is scheduled to undergo a formal review of its structure and procedures in 2011, which will offer a significant opportunity for Council reform." That review ended Friday, with every major reform recommendation made by American negotiators rejected. U.S. membership has made no difference to the outcomes on Israel. 2011-06-23 00:00:00Full Article
