The journalist whose English language comprehension skill always appears as doubtful wrote that the UNHRC was in trouble since it could not implement the resolution on Sri Lanka due to withdrawal of Israel from the UNHRC.
Israel which is not a member state of UNHRC severed contact with the UNHRC after its launch last week of an international investigation into Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
The decision means that the fact-finding team the council planned to send to the West Bank will not be allowed to enter the territory or Israel, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor, as reported by National Post. “We are not working with them any more,” Mr. Palmor said about the Geneva-based forum.
Last Thursday, the council passed a resolution deciding to “dispatch an independent, international, fact-finding mission, to be appointed by the President of the Human Rights Council, to investigate the implications of the Israeli settlements on the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of the Palestinian people throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.”
UNHRC member states voted by 36 to one to appoint a mission to assess the impact of settlements on the Palestinian population. Only the United States voted against the resolution.
