Alfred Moses Op-Ed on Durban II, Report on Louise Arbour, Qaddafi Jr. Arrested for Beating Maid

UN Watch Chair Alfred Moses’ op-ed in the Jerusalem Post addressed concerns about the 2009 Durban Review Conference. “The train to Durban II has already left the station,” he wrote. “Why is the EU failing to defend the principles laid down by France, the UK and the Netherlands? Those who would like to give the new conference a genuine chance to combat intolerance need to know that Durban II will not be a repeat of the Durban I debacle.”

In other developments, UN Watch released a major study of Louise Arbour’s performance as UN rights chief over the past four years, refuting inflated claims made by both her critics and defenders, and giving the Canadian jurist mixed reviews on how she took on violators.
