The Dangers of Durban III Explained on Video
Navi Pillay, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
An excellent video produced by Eye on the UN explains why the reconvening of another “Durban” event — dubbed Durban III — is nothing more than the continuation of efforts in the international arena by Israel’s enemies to defame and undermine the Jewish state.
A short video of the first 2001 Durban conference is a reminder of the libelous, hypocritical attacks on Israel.
UN officials, such as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay who has pushed the Durban campaign, are thus far unswayed by the growing number of nations boycotting the event. These include: Canada, Israel, United States, Czech Republic, Italy, The Netherlands, Australia, Austria and Germany.
According to Anne Bayefsky, Pillay said she was “disappointed” with these pullouts, labeling them a “political distraction.”
Yet the biased assault on Israel — and neglect of focus on truly oppressive nations — may trigger congressional action. Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen has introduced the United Nations Transparency, Accountability, and Reform Act (H.R. 2829) to cut funding if the U.N. fails to reform.
