    Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said: "The Human Rights Council continues to abandon human rights and is now in the business of protecting dictators and war crimes. In Venezuela, a dictator starves his people, and in Libya there are camps that torture African migrants."

    The ambassador added that "these countries are added to the Council's 'moral leadership,' as the body no longer hides its obsessive hostility to Israel, and legitimizes those who blatantly violate and act against its original mandate."​
