'UN Gaza report written by Palestinians'
15.08.2009
The latest United Nations anti-Israel report was written solely "to appease the Arab-controlled Human Rights Council," Aharon Leshno Yaar, Israel's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, said on Saturday.
He spoke with The Jerusalem Post by phone, a day after UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay submitted a report on what she termed "grave violations of human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly due to the recent Israeli military attacks against the occupied Gaza Strip."
Her 34-page report was created at the request of the Human Rights Council in a special session it held on Israel in January.
The report will be presented to the council on September 29, along with a separate report that is being compiled by South African jurist Richard Goldstone.
