"Human Rights and Politicized Human Rights: A Utilitarian Critique" Don A. Habibi, Journal of Human Rights, Volume 6, Issue 1 January 2007 , pages 3 - 35 January 23, 2008
The article provides a utilitarian analysis to argue that the leading organizations of the International Human Rights Movement have lost sight of their own professed values. Instead of functioning to check and balance the power of nation-states which formulate policies based on political and economic interests, the leadership of Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the International Committee of the Red Cross follow the politicized United Nations.

The problem is most evident in the disproportionate focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Steinberg, Israel Affairs, Vol.12, No.4, October 2006, pp.748–768 October 01, 2006
The campaign of terror that began in late 2000, following the collapse of
the Oslo peace process, was accompanied by a full-scale political
campaign, aimed at de-legitimizing and isolating Israel internationally. This strategy was articulated at the UN-sponsored World Conference against Racism and Xenophobia that took place in September 2001, in Durban, South Africa. The Durban conference crystallized the strategy of de-legitimizing Israel as ‘an apartheid regime’, through international isolation based on the South African model...
