ריצ'רד ג' גולדסטון – Israel and the ICC
Government of Israel and many of its citizens have a reasonable suspicion of bias against Israel by the United Nations and other international organizations. This is partly the consequence of partial treatment in respect of the Middle East by the United Nations General Assembly, Security Council and Human Rights Commission. Even if one makes an assumption that many of their criticisms of Israel are justified, other similar if not more serious human rights violations or infractions of international law on the part of many other members of the United Nations have been overlooked or given scant attention by those bodies. Then too, there is the anti-Israel lobby, which exhibited its power at the Durban conference on Racism and Xenophobia. That can hardly have been calculated to instill confidence in Israel with regard to international human rights organizations
