	United Nations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United Nations headquarters building was constructed in New York City in 1949 and 1950 beside the East River on land purchased by an 8.5 million dollar donation from John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
		The United Nations is also a forum in which to support the right of women to participate fully in the political, economic, and social life of their countries.
		Also implicated in the scandal is United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, whose son Kojo Annan is alleged to have illegally procured UN oil-for-food contracts on behalf of a Swiss company, Coctecna.

	Statement by Ambassador Dan Gillerman, Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations, to the Security Council - Oct 14, 2003
		This is the true double standard at the United Nations and, sooner or later, it must be addressed.
		In fact, not only has Israel repeatedly asserted that there is no political significance to this fence, we have demonstrated in practice and articulated in negotiations that Israel is ready and able, at tremendous cost, to adjust or dismantle a fence if it so required as part of a political settlement.
		Many lies and misrepresentations have been made about Israel's security measures, but no lie is so bold and audacious as the one which pretends that Israel's actions occur in a vacuum and are not in response to years of terrorism of the most vicious and brutal kind.

	Double Standards: Iraq, Israel And The United Nations
		Israel ignores the United Nations and has weapons of mass destruction.
		Israel, denying responsibility for their flight, says that the same resolution stipulates that these refugees had to be willing to “live at peace with their neighbours” and that the Palestinians, having rejected the UN-sanctioned partition of Palestine, were not prepared to live in peace with the new Jewish state.
		Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has endured for 35 years, against the will of the Palestinian inhabitants, who dearly want, and in the eyes of the world have long deserved, a state of their own.

	The Exclusion of Israel from the United Nations Regional Group System
		To the extent that Israel's total exclusion from the regional group system, and hence from full and equal participation in the work of the United Nations, is the consequence of actions and omissions by UN Members, I am of the opinion that such action is a breach by Members of their obligations under the Charter.
		Israel's continuing exclusion from the regional group system is both unlawful and strikes at the roots of the principles on which the United Nations exists.
		The matter I have been asked to address is the very damaging and unique position in which the State of Israel finds itself, of being excluded from membership of any one of the now five "regional groups" of Members of the United Nations.

	Israel Palestine United Nations
		With the consent of the United Nations and the international community in conjunction with the leading Arab nations, the Israeli people for over 50 years have been under continual attack with impunity.
		Israel can never put the fate of their nation in the hands of nations of tyranny and in the hands of those that are committed to capitulating to these nations by trading in her fundamental rights in order to achieve pace.
		Thus to the United Nations and its supporting cast, any acts of the United States to eradicate terror from nations that support terror and tyranny is seen as the cause for further threatening the chance for peace and security in the world.

		Since 1997 the Arab group at the United Nations has been trying to invoke the Fourth Geneva Convention against Israel, in regard to its settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and in particular at Har Homa in Jerusalem.

	[12 May 1999] SG/SM/6990 : SECRETARY-GENERAL SAYS ISRAEL-UNITED NATIONS PARTNERSHIP ONLY BEGINNING TO SHOW HOW MUCH IT CAN DO: FOR ISRAELIS, MIDDLE EAST AND WORLD
		This Israel could do much more for the United Nations were it not for a significant obstacle: its status as the only Member State that is not a member of a regional group, which is the basis for participation in many United Nations bodies and activities.
		When Israel joined the United Nations 50 years ago today, it was a moment of redemption and, not least, a reminder of the United Nations' cardinal mission of dignity, human rights and peace.
		Israel's admission to the United Nations was one such example.

	Israel and the United Nations - Introduction
		Although the United Nations has long been a forum for political attacks against Israel, in the 1960s and 1970s two resolutions were passed which, in later decades, became the cornerstone of Middle East diplomatic efforts.
		For example, between 1974 and 1987 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) instituted financial sanctions against the Jewish State,
		Several UN committees and divisions of the Secretariat, which primarily serve the interests of the Arab nations that encouraged their creation in the 1970s, are also extremely critical of Israel.

	Frequently Asked Questions
		Status of Palestinian Arabs in the UN On November 10, 1975, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 3237 that conferred on the PLO the status of observer in the Assembly and in other international conferences held under United Nations auspices.
		Aside from the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Communist voting bloc in the United Nations, the UN had, in a practical sense, assumed its originally intended role as a peacemaker in a number of conflicts, such as those in Kosovo, Rwanda, and others.
		Since West Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel since it was founded and the whole city has been the capital since it was reunited in 1967, this anachronism is obviously unacceptable to Israel.

		Israel, though the most democratic country in the Middle East region, constantly has its sovereignty and right to defend itself called into question by the United Nations.
		While this perspective does harm Israel, the harm to the United Nations itself is much greater.
		Israel is the only UN member state that originated from a UN resolution, the only state that has had its right to exist questioned by another UN resolution, and the only member state that is ineligible for membership in the Security Council and other UN bodies.

	"United Nations Against Israel" by Gary Fitleberg
		Various and sundry branches of the United Nations Against Israel have consistently and continually endorsed Arab “Palestinian” attacks against Israel (or in U.N.A.I terminology — the use of “available means including armed struggle” against “foreign occupation”) and perpetuate a political propaganda ploy of a fictitious Arab “Palestine” nation and “Palestinian” people.
		End the existence of the United Nations Against Israel.
		The ultimate objective is Israel’s annihilation and the mass murder and mayhem of the non-Muslim population from the entire Middle East.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > World -- Israel hopes Gaza pullout will end 'Israel bashing' at United Nations
		UNITED NATIONS – Israel hopes its disengagement from Gaza and parts of the West Bank will end "Israel bashing" at the United Nations and lead to peace with the Palestinians, Israel's U.N. ambassador said.
		For most of its history, Israel has found itself nearly alone at the United Nations, supported only by the United States and a few other countries while facing dozens of Arab and Muslim states that have pushed anti-Israel resolutions in the General Assembly and the Security Council.
		Shortly after his press conference, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Annan believes the start of Israel's disengagement is "a moment of promise and hope" that will revive the road map to peace sponsored by the United Nations, the United States, the European Union and Russia.

	Israel marks 50 tumultuous years at the United Nations (May 14, 1999)

		Still, Gaer, who has been observing Israel at the United Nations for 25 years, said that she sees some subtle indications of progress and improving civility toward Israel.
		The stone "only emphasizes the uninterrupted Jewish existence for thousands of years in the land of Israel," Ariel Sharon said in a speech that stressed Israel's nationhood, making only tacit reference to the United Nations.

	Israel Joins the United Nations - May 11, 1949
		While many United Nations resolutions and efforts have not been favorable to Israel due to mass voting by the Arab and former Soviet bloc countries, what is important is that Israel is a full member with all the rights and privileges of her counterpart members within the United Nations.
		As a result of United Nations Resolution 181, the international community of nations, under the auspices of the newly formed United Nations, moved to divide the British mandate of Palestine into two nations: a Jewish State and an Arab State.
