NGOs capitalize on ideological and political antagonism within the UN to bring their anti-Israel campaigns to the international stage. The devastating impact of NGOs is compounded by the institutional bias of UN bodies, such as the Human Rights Council, the Special Rapporteur on Palestinian issues, and biased “fact-finding” missions.
Resolution 2334, adopted by the UN Security Council in December 2016 adopts the language used by multiple European-funded NGOs promoting anti-Israel campaigns, in the form of incremental strategies leading to full boycotts.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs oversees and facilitates government funding to some of the most biased and politicized regional NGOs, including a number involved in BDS and "lawfare" campaigns against Israel.
During the 30th session of the UN Human Rights Council, a number of highly biased and politicized NGOs, which receive extensive funding from foreign governments, made false, distorted and unsubstantiated allegations, contributing to the international demonization of Israel.
The UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People held a September 7-8 meeting, featuring representatives of a number of highly politicized NGOs who encouraged the international community to engage in legal warfare against Israel.
During the 29th session of the UNHRC, a number of highly politicized NGOs submitted oral and written statements and held side events, falsely accusing Israel of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and intentionally targeting the civilian population, thereby contributing to the international demonization campaign.
The report of the Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza War extensively quotes biased and unreliable political advocacy NGOs, many of which receive funding from the Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Secretariat, a joint funding mechanism of Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
The report of the Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza War extensively quotes EU-funded political advocacy NGOs that lack credibility and do not employ professional fact-finding standards.
The public summary of the Board of Inquiry report regarding the 2014 Gaza conflict was published without footnotes or accompanying evidence, making it difficult to assess the conclusions about Israeli actions and culpability.
