2024 presidential campaign press release: on Foreign Policy


Dean Phillips: Supports UN & human rights, but not UNHRC in Palestine

Dean Phillips partnered with 47 other congressional representatives to advocate for greater objectivity in the United Nations' investigations of alleged human rights violations in Israel and Palestine. In a letter to the U.S. Representative to the United Nations, Phillips advocated to reduce or eliminate funding for the UN Human Rights Council's (UNHRC) Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory (COI).

Representative Phillips emphasized that, while the COI is a deeply flawed entity, he remains a steadfast supporter of both human rights and the United Nations. Phillips said that "anyone who violates human rights should be held accountable -- that is as true for Israel as it is every other country. The problem is that the COI is the wrong tool for the job. It plays politics with one of the most important issues the UN covers and is a distraction from the UNHRC's crucial role promoting human rights around the globe."
