Ms. Pillay has yet again demonstrated her obsessive Israel-bashing by dedicating, once more, a section of her press brief to Israel while failing to make mention of significant atrocities committed by nation states, taking place across the globe.

The High Commissioner for Human Rights has been bequeathed a mandate, which, if deployed correctly, should be able to shift perspectives and serve an important role in the betterment of the world. Regrettably, one can only conceive of all the global victims of human rights violations, and how their interests could be better represented, if Ms. Pillay spent just a fraction of her time focusing on their plight, rather than reiterating daily reminders relating to Israel. She is setting herself to become, regrettably, a one-issue Commissioner.​
