UN Human Rights Council’s Richard Falk Discredited as Truther
In 2008, Richard Falk began a six-year term as the UN Human Rights Council’s permanent investigator on “Israel’s violations of the principles of international law”– a position that itself is a manifestation of clear bias, as it is meant to investigate only Israeli actions and not Palestinian ones. Now the person who holds this position is exposed as a conspiracy theorist, or “truther” who believes he knows the “truth” about 9/11, namely that the U.S. government, and not Al Qaeda, was responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center. It is not surprising that these lunatic fringe views are suported by one who has expressed similar fringe views about Israel, for example, comparing Israeli actions to those of the Nazis. And it is not surprising that the UN Human Rights Council, specifically selected someone with such objectionable views as their resident condemner of Israel.
Falk’s exposure as a conspiracy theorist comes as a result of UN Watch’s 3-year campaign “to expose and combat Falk’s denial and justification of Hamas and Al Qaeda terrorism, and his material support for 9/11 conspiracy theorists.” Read about it here.
