The United Nations General Assembly is scheduled on Wednesday to ratify all resolutions adopted by the 'human rights council' during 2012. One of those resolutions honors a Holocaust denier.
While a handful of these decisions were good, many were despicable. One stands out for its ignominy: the appointment of a top official whose life’s work—authoring books on World War II that make Germans the victims and the Allies the war criminals—has made him a hero to Holocaust deniers.
Alfred de Zayas was appointed in March as the council’s “Independent Expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order,” an anti-Western mandate created by Cuba's Communist regime.
Inexplicably, Zayas was unanimously recommended by a U.N. committee that included British Ambassador Peter Gooderham, who was supposed to effectively represent the interests and values of Western democracies such as Britain, France, Germany and the United States.
To undo this wrong, tomorrow U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice should lead the world's democracies in calling for a vote on the omnibus resolution—which includes the appointment of Zayas—and vote No.
Ambassador Rice should also take the floor and explain to the U.N. and the world why America and all decent people categorically object to an appointment that contradicts the principles of the U.N. and its founding history as the anti-Hitler alliance. Click here to send an email urging action.
