UN official resigns protesting world body’s failure to prevent genocide in Gaza
Craig Mokhiber, former director of the New York chapter of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
Press TV – October 31, 2023
The director of the New York chapter of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has resigned, protesting the world body’s failure to prevent underway genocide in the Gaza Strip, which has come under a brutal Israeli war.
Craig Mokhiber submitted his resignation to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk in a letter dated October 28. Reactions began to pour in across social media platforms, including X on Tuesday.
“Once again we are seeing a genocide unfolding before our eyes and the organization we serve appears powerless to stop it,” Mokhiber wrote, referring to the United Nations.
He was referring to the October 7 present war that the Israeli regime has been waging against Gaza in response to an operation launched by the territory’s resistance movements against the occupied territories.
The ongoing Israeli massacre has killed more than 8,600 Palestinians and left over 23,000 others wounded.
Mokhiber cited the United States, the UK, and much of Europe as “wholly complicit in the horrific assault,” referring to the Western allies’ consistent political and military support for the Israeli regime, which has bubbled up even throughout the war.
“This is a textbook case of genocide. The European, ethno-nationalist, settler colonial project in Palestine has entered its final phase, toward the expedited destruction of the last remnants of indigenous Palestinian life in Palestine,” the letter read.
The letter went on to call for an end to the Israeli regime’s occupation of the Palestinian territories, supporting the establishment of a “single, democratic” state “in all of historic Palestine, with equal rights for Christians, Muslims, and Jews.”
