Antisemitism as Human Rights at the UN
October 7, 2023
Denial of Israel's Right to Self-Defense:
Statement by UN Special Coordinator For The Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland:
"I am deeply concerned for the well-being of all civilians. I am in close contact with all concerned to urge maximum restraint and call on all sides to protect civilians. This is a dangerous precipice and I appeal to all to pull back from the brink.”
Tweet by UN General Assembly President Dennis Francis:
"I urge all parties to refrain from further violence & to seek an immediate path to peace."
Tweet by Executive Director of UN Women Sima Bahous:
"We call for immediate deescalation..."
Statement by Martin Griffiths, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator:
"Violence is never the answer. I appeal to all sides to stop the fighting immediately..."
Excusing Terror & Blaming the Victim:
Tweet by UN Special Rapporteur for the Situation of Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese:
"Today’s violence must be put in context. Almost six decades of hostile military rule over an entire civilian population (incomprehensibly ignored by too many official statements & media outlets) are in themselves an aggression, and the recipe for more insecurity for all."

Statement by Martin Griffiths, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator:
"I am extremely alarmed by the rapidly escalating events in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The number of civilian casualties on both sides is reportedly already in the hundreds – and rising rapidly."
