The Zionist Organization of America invites you to join acclaimed speaker and human rights activist, Hillel Neuer for a compelling lecture and discussion on UN bias towards Israel and current problems within the global human rights movement. Originally from Montreal, Mr. Neuer is an international lawyer, diplomat, writer, expert witness, and activist who serves as the Executive Director of UN Watch. UN Watch is a human rights NGO and watchdog group based in Geneva, Switzerland. As one of the world's foremost human rights activists, Mr. Neuer has advocated for Darfur victims at the United Nations, political prisoners in Cuba, victims of torture in nations throughout Africa and Asia, Lebanese victims of Syrian political assassinations, and against the rape and enslavement of women in Syria and Iraq. He has also been outspoken and critical of the UN Human Rights Council regarding their one-sided bias, delegitimization, and demonization directed against one UN member state - Israel. In 2014, The Jerusalem Post described Mr. Neuer as a man who "struggles valiantly and successfully to expose the truth about human rights as practiced in the United Nations and other so-called civil rights NGOs".   



RSVP is required for attendance.  Please RSVP at the link at www.westcoast.zoa.org or by email to [email protected].
