Right after the UN created its perpetual anti-Israel Commission of Inquiry in June 2021, UN Watch became the leading voice in exposing its pernicious mandate, commissioners and report:
✅ Convened World Experts at UN to Fight Pillay Report: In June 2022, at a conference held in Geneva on the sidelines of the Human Rights Council, UN Watch convened renowned experts and activists-including Colonel Richard Kemp, Lieutenant Colonel Geoffrey Corn, Einat Wilf, Olga Meshoe, and Yoseph Haddad-to refute the lies in the Pillay Commission’s inaugural report.
✅ Video Documentary: In August 2022, UN Watch produced an animated video explaining the biased mandate and composition of the Commission of Inquiry, and why it needs to be terminated.
✅ Original Cartoons: UN Watch commissioned an artist to draw powerful cartoons on the Pillay Commission, illustrating how it serves as a Kangaroo court, its history of antisemitism, and lack of impartiality.
✅ Testimony at United Nations: UN Watch repeatedly took the floor at the UN to take on the Commission of Inquiry:
• March 2022: Hillel Neuer exposed Navi Pillay’s gross bias
• June 2022: Col. Kemp spoke for UN Watch, saying, “This report incites hatred of Jews around the world, and cruelly betrays the Palestinian people”
• June 2023: Neuer called out member Miloon Kothari’s remarks about “the Jewish Lobby” controlling social media. An hour later, Navi Pillay was caught on hot mic laughing with her colleagues on how they ran out the clock to avoid answering Neuer’s questions about their bigotry.
✅ Legal Submissions: When the UN named Israel-hater Navi Pillay to head the inquiry, UN Watch submitted a 30-page legal brief demanding she be disqualified on grounds of bias. This was reported by Agence France Presse, putting the UNHRC president on the defensive. UN Watch then put forward a draft resolution to terminate the Commission altogether.
✅ Exposing Kothari’s Antisemitism: UN Watch exposed Miloon Kothari’s antisemitic remarks that social media is controlled largely by “the Jewish lobby,” leading to an unprecedented 18 countries denouncing him for antisemitism, including the U.S., Canada, UK, Australia, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Brazil and Hungary.
✅ Launched Petition: UN Watch launched a petition to urge the United States to take action to remove the biased members, and to terminate the mandate of the Commission of Inquiry, garnering over 10,000 signatures.

BREAKING: Navi Pillay is resigning from the UN's permanent commission of inquiry on Israel, citing “age, medical issues and other commitments.” Her two colleagues are also resigning. Pillay was chosen for the post because of her visceral hate for Israel: https://t.co/jMTkNFEXrP
