Note
"Allow me to express our serious concerns regarding the establishment and the work of the COI. We continue to believe that the long-standing disproportionate scrutiny to Israel should end, and the Human Rights Council and other relevant UN human rights bodies and mechanisms should address all human rights concerns, regardless of country, in an even-handed manner.
In this context, we believe that the nature of the COI established last May is further demonstration of the long-standing disproportionate attention given to Israel in the UN system. We believe that the impartiality of a UN investigative mechanism should be a cornerstone of the UN human rights system.
We are also outraged by the recent anti-Semitic, anti-Israel comments made by a member of the COI. These unacceptable remarks sadly only deepen our concerns about the open-ended nature and overly broad scope of the Commission. We are convinced that such blatantly biased anti-Semitic comments are completely unworthy of the UN and the UN Human Rights bodies."
