US have boycotted a United Nations Human Rights Council session focusing on Zionists’ human rights violations against the Palestinians due to the inter-governmental body’s “bias” against Zionist Entity, Press TV reported.
US State Department spokesman, Mark Toner, announced that Washington has boycotted Monday’s UNHRC session over the council’s focus on Zionists’ human rights violations during the council’s Item Seven General Debates.
“As an expression of our deeply held conviction that this bias must be addressed in order for the council to realize its legitimate purpose, the United States decided not to attend the council’s Item Seven General Debate session,” Toner said in a statement.
“The United States strongly and unequivocally opposes the existence of the UN Human Rights Council’s Agenda Item Seven: ‘Human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories,” he added.
It is worth bearing in mind that “Agenda Item Seven” is a permanent fixture that requires the UNHRC to discuss three times each year any human rights violations committed by Zionists against Palestinians.
