held four special sessions to address pressing human 
rights situations; 
Whereas of the four special sessions, three sessions were held 
for purposes of condemning Israel for alleged human 
right abuses in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and in 
Lebanon, and the fourth session was a non-condemnatory 
expression of ‘‘concern’’ regarding the situation in 
Darfur, Sudan; 
Whereas the United Nations Human Rights Council has 
failed to condemn serial abusers of human rights 
throughout the world, including Iran, Syria, North 
Korea, Cuba, China, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and others; 
Whereas, on June 19, 2007, a Department of State spokes-
person specifically identified Burma, Cuba, North Korea, 
Zimbabwe, and Belarus as countries that merit consider-
ation by the United Nations Human Rights Council due 
to their ‘‘serious human rights violations’’; 
Whereas during its fifth special session, the United Nations 
Human Rights Council voted to make Israel the only 
country permanently included on its agenda; and 
Whereas United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon 
stated he was ‘‘disappointed at the Council’s decision to 
single out only one specific regional item, given the range 
and scope of allegations of human rights violations 
throughout the world’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) strongly condemns the United Nations Human 
Rights Council for ignoring severe human rights abuses 
in other countries, while choosing to unfairly target the 
State of Israel;
•HRES 557 EH 
(2) strongly urges the United Nations Human 
Rights Council to remove Israel from its permanent 
agenda; 
(3) strongly urges the United Nations Human 
Rights Council to hold special sessions to address other 
countries in which human rights abuses are being com-
mitted, adopt real reform as was intended for the Coun-
cil when it replaced the United Nations Commission on 
Human Rights, and reaffirm the principle of human dig-
nity consistent with the original intent envisioned at the 
Council’s establishment; 
(4) strongly urges the United States to make every 
effort in the United Nations General Assembly to ensure 
that the United Nations Human Rights Council lives up 
to its mission to protect human rights around the world, 
in accordance with United Nations General Assembly 
Resolution 60/251 establishing the Council; and 
(5) strongly urges the United States to work with 
the United Nations General Assembly to ensure that 
only countries that have a well-established commitment
