This is an Attack on the Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict.
Washington, D.C. | October 28, 2009 | The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) urges you to contact your Representatives and encourage them not to support H.RES 867 which was introduced by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL). H. RES. 867 calls on the President and the Secretary of State to oppose unequivocally any endorsement or further consideration of the Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict. The Resolution considers the Report –and its findings- “to be irredeemably biased and unworthy of further consideration or legitimacy.” At the moment, the resolution has been co-sponsored by four members of Congress, and has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The Report is the conclusion of a three-month investigation of Israeli war crimes committed against Palestinians in Gaza. It was undertaken by the UN Fact Finding Mission, headed by Justice Richard Goldstone. The Mission called for “the prosecution of persons responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law [which] would contribute to ending such violations, to the protection of civilians and to the restoration of peace.”
With your quick action, we can encourage opposition for H. RES. 867, and urge accountability for war crimes committed in Gaza. Let’s act NOW!
