The permanent observer of the State of Palestine to the United Nations, Ambassador Riyad Mansour, sent identical letters to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the President of the Security Council for this month (China), and the President of the United Nations General Assembly. Mansour stressed the need for the international community to denounce Israel’s attempts to distort legitimate criticism for its crimes by delegitimizing the work of human rights associations.
