Note

"Czechia voted against the establishment of the Commission of Inquiry. We did so due to our serious concern about the broad and open-ended mandate and permanent nature of the Commission. And those concerns remain valid. Moreover, we were shocked by a recent interview in which one of the members of the Commission used terms such as Jewish lobby and questions Israeli UN membership. We strongly reject any form of anti-Semitism. Such comments contribute to polarization of the situation and threaten to undermine the impartiality of the UN human rights mechanisms."
