UN points out major flaw in latest Israeli protestWest Jerusalem’s claim it has quit the UN Human Rights Council is contradictory, as it is not a member of the body, a UNHRC spokesman has clarified
Israel is not currently a member of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), meaning it cannot officially withdraw from a body it is not part of, UNHRC spokesman Pascal Sim has stated.
On Wednesday, a day after US President Donald Trump announced Washington’s withdrawal from the UNHRC, West Jerusalem declared that it was also quitting the council, which is responsible for promoting and protecting human rights worldwide.
