United Nations condemned Israel more than all other countries combined last year, watchdog says

The United Nations General Assembly last year passed 15 resolutions critical of Israel, while passing just 13 resolutions on other countries, according to a non-governmental watchdog.

The resolutions about countries other than Israel targeted the United States, Afghanistan, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea and Syria, while six resolutions focused on Russia, UN Watch found. Countries with major alleged human rights offenses such as China or Venezuela were not mentioned in U.N. resolutions in 2022. 

"The UN's disproportionate assault against the Jewish state undermines the credibility of what is meant to be an impartial world body," UN Watch Director Hillel Neuer said. "Politicization and selectivity harm its founding mission, eroding the UN Charter promise of equal treatment to all nations, large and small."

The U.N. General Assembly adopted twice as many resolutions from 2015 through 2022 on Israel as it did on other countries with 140 resolutions on the world's only Jewish state and 68 about other nations, the watchdog found.
