UN AGENCIES BIAS UNCOVERED

Pervasive Anti-Israel Bias in UN Agencies? Judge for yourself

Ambassador Yosi Levi Sfari

Since the Hamas atrocities of October 7th, the longstanding bias and breaches of neutrality by certain professional bodies of the United Nations have been exposed in a blatant and undeniable manner. Key UN agencies have spread misleading information and applied double standards when addressing Israel's actions and the broader conflict. They have been misleading both the political and public discourse and serve as a major source of misinformation in international legal proceedings against Israel.


While anti-Israel bias within the UN system is not a new phenomenon, it is now clear that this bias has permeated even professional ranks that are required to uphold neutrality and impartiality. This undermining of the UN’s basic principles poses a broader threat—not only to Israel but to the integrity of the UN and the international system as a whole. It is important to note that Israel regularly works and cooperates with many UN organizations that strictly adhere to the professional standards and principles which their special status obliges. The criticism is directed at those officials and agencies that deviate from this commitment, thereby damaging the credibility of the entire organization and hence its ability to fulfil its important functions.


Senior figures within the UN have labeled Israel's criticism of the organization as "disinformation." This page compiles publications released by official Israeli bodies in recent months that describe in detail a plethora of examples for the systematic bias of leading UN agencies. Together, they paint a troubling picture of a radical deviation from the UN's core principles and standards.
