JERUSALEM (JTA) — Richard Falk, United Nations special rapporteur on Palestinian human rights, has called on the U.N. Human Rights Council to shut down a watchdog organization in a report on Israel’s violations of Palestinian human rights.

In an annual report due to be presented to the Human Rights Council on Monday, Falk slams what he calls Israel’s continued occupation of the Palestinians.

“Israel continues to annex Palestinian territory; Israel persists in demolishing Palestinians’ homes and populating Palestine with Israeli citizens; Israel maintains a policy of collectively punishing 1.75 million Palestinians through its imposition of a blockade on the Gaza Strip; and Israel prosecutes its occupation with impunity, refusing to accept the world’s calls to respect international law,” Falk wrote.

Falk also repeats his prior call for a boycott of companies conducting business with Israel or Israelis in the West Bank.

He also calls on the Human Rights Council to investigate and shut down UN Watch, accusing the NGO of “demeaning” and “defaming” his character, damaging the “credibility,” “effectiveness,” and “substantive intention” of his mandate, all of which “diverts attention from the message” and “shifts public interest away.”

His comments on UN Watch come less than a month after the organization’s draft resolution to remove Falk from his position, in the wake of his comments blaming the Boston Marathon bombings on “the American global domination project” and “Tel Aviv,” was published by the United Nations as an official document.

The United States Representative to the Human Rights Council, Amb. Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe, on Friday condemned Falk’s report and called on other member states of the Council to “denounce Falk and his outrageous abuse of the position he holds.”

Abraham Foxman, ADL national director, said that his organization agrees with Donahoe’s conclusion that Falk “is unfit to serve in his role as a U.N. special rapporteur.”

“If he does not leave voluntarily, the Human Rights Council should remove him, Foxman said.

“Mr. Falk’s attempt to paint himself as the victim of an Israeli government-sponsored defamation campaign, carried out by U.N. Watch, has echoes of classical anti-Semitic conspiracy theories,” Foxman also said.
