Israel boycotts UNHRC rights examination session
/Tel Aviv has boycotted a UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) review, which is taking place in the Swiss city of Geneva to examine Israel's violations of Palestinians' rights. The UNHRC is reviewing Israel's human rights records on Tuesday as part of the Universal Periodic Review process. Tel Aviv is not a member of the Council, but is required to undergo UPR like all UN members. The Universal Periodic Review (UPR), which is held once every four years, was established by the UN General Assembly in 2006 to examine human rights records of the United Nations' members.
