UK condemns UN's Richard Falk for "antisemitic" remarks – for "third time"

UK Press Release: Statement on comments by UN Special Rapporteur, Richard Falk – 24 April 2013


The Spokesperson of the UK Mission to the UN said:
‘The UK objects strongly to recent remarks made by UN Special Rapporteur for the Palestinian Territories, Richard Falk, linking the Boston bombings to “American global domination” and “Tel Aviv”. This is the third time we have had cause to express our concerns about Mr Falk’s antisemitic remarks.   It is important to the UK that Special Rapporteurs uphold the highest standards in their work and we have twice previously made clear that remarks by Mr Falk were unacceptable.’
