Israel asked the UN Human Rights Council to delay next week's scheduled adoption of the "Universal Periodic Review" report on its human rights record because
Israeli diplomats are on strike - for higher pay and working conditions for spouses - and have suspended all contacts with the UN (and other international organizations.) The letter sent to the Council asks it to respect the right to strike. The Council notoriously respects virtually nothing about Israeli rights, and has already said no to a delay past the end of the current Council session.
