Beyond the Human Rights Council
b'Title: "Beyond the Human Rights Council: UN Human Rights Committee and Its Response to Antisemitism"\\n\\nSpeaker: Aleksandra Gliszczynska-Grabias\\n\\nAffiliation: Graduate Fellow, YIISA\\n\\nLocation: Yale University, New Haven, CT\\n\\nDate: February 3, 2011\\n\\nDescription: \\nAleksandra Gliszczynska-Grabias discusses the legal dimension of the human rights agenda within the United Nations. She examines whether there is an effective counter balance within the UN to its various highly politicized bodies, such as the Human Rights Council. While the UN emerged out of World War II and out of the ashes of the Holocaust, it continues to deny its own history and unjustly target Israel, turning the Jewish state into an international pariah. Aleksandra Gliszczynska-Grabias questions whether the UN still has the ability to act as a legitimate mechanism in combating antisemtism.'
