Amid this Craig Mokhiber, Director of the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, dropped a conscience-jarring letter to his boss, saying he was quitting over UN failures in Palestine and elsewhere. It is a stunning historic irony that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in the same year that the Nakba was perpetrated against the Palestinian people,” Mokhiber wrote.
