Every Senator Agrees the UN Must Change
(Wall Street Journal) Sens. Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) - Last week, all 100 U.S. Senators signed our letter to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, urging him to improve the UN's treatment of Israel and eliminate anti-Semitism in all its forms. Too many of the UN's member states and agencies use the world body as a vehicle for targeting Israel rather than as a forum committed to advancing peace and human rights. This encourages and supports the broader scourge of anti-Semitism. As both the UN's principal founding member and its largest financial contributor, the U.S. must insist on real reforms. The UN continues to fund and maintain many standing committees that serve no purpose other than to attack Israel and inspire the anti-Israel boycott, sanctions and divestment movement. These committees must be eliminated or reformed.
