A very moving ceremony today at @UNGeneva by @MisiaSr and @WorldJewishCong, to pay homage to Stefan Lux on his day of birth, a Slovakia-born Jewish journalist who committed suicide before the League of Nations in July 1936 to raise awareness for the plight of the Jews in Germany.
The @ilo Governing Body 346th session has kicked off today in Geneva.

3/3 Today at #UNGA77, many countries criticised the CoI on Israel, which symbolises the anti-Israel bias @UN.
Thank you for showing leadership and for defending the principles of impartiality, objectivity and transparency at the United Nations.
2/3 This CoI and Commissioners are part of the anti-Israel agenda that sadly still exists @UN. The only thing their words and actions do is to continue to damage the credibility of the United Nations and its human rights mechanisms.
#UNGA77 | Summary of the CoI report:
NO reference to the Hamas!
NO reference to Palestinian terrorism!
LET'S BE CLEAR: Commissioners who made antisemitic comments & who proactively engaged in anti-Israel activism, have no legitimacy or credibility in addressing those issues.

77 years ago #OTD, the Charter of the United Nations was signed and the UN established.
In times of hardship & defiance, the noble principles of this Charter should remain the backbone & moral guide of our collective action.
This is our commitment, everyday! 🇮🇱🇺🇳
Combating sexual exploitation, abuse & harassment must be a top priority @ILO & all @UN Agencies.
🇮🇱@MeiravEShahar presented to @GilbertFHoungbo, a letter on behalf of the 40 states of #GOFESH, asking him to prioritize this issue.
We look forward to working with him & his team.
This week, Amb. @MeiravEShahar met with @GilbertFHoungbo, new Director-General @ILO.
From disability inclusion, to platform economy and combating sexual harassment- Israel & the ILO have much to collaborate on to further promote decent work for all. 1/2

Thank you @ArgentinaONUOMC,@GermanyUNGeneva,@GreeceInGeneva for co-leading this groundbreaking initiative & to the 60 additional co-sponsors!
Antisemitism & Holocaust denial have reached the @UN, both in Geneva & New York.
This year, @ahmedshaheed published a clear action plan to combat antisemitism.We call on States, @UN_HRC, @UN_SPExperts to follow this plan, incl. adopting @TheIHRA definition of antisemitism.#HRC51
Today, Israel joined 53 States in expressing alarm on the human rights situation in Iran, after brutal death of #MahsaAmini.
Israel will continue to support any initiative aimed at holding the Iranian regime to account for its abhorrent human rights record #HRC51
This year, a member of the COI targeting Israel made antisemitic remarks refering to “the Jewish lobby”, a millennia old antisemitic trope. These comments were a disgrace.
Today, 🇮🇱@Adi_Farjon thanked States who have condemned his remarks & called on others to do the same.#HRC51
