UN Watch email to Spinwatch on 'Inaccuracies'

Dear David,

Thank you for your response.

The description of our NGO on your website is not very accurate.

First of all, UN Watch is an independent Swiss NGO that is affiliated with the AJC. However, we are not "funded/staffed/organized organization" by them. We do our own funding/staffing/organizing and we have complete independence from the AJC.

The three bullets also in our description do not do justice to our organization. We primarily speak against gross human rights violations all around the world, including Darfur, Zimbabwe, Russia etc. You can get any idea by browsing our website. In parallel, part of our work is to combat anti-Israel bias within the UN system, which we believe hampers its ability to effectively respond to urgent human rights situations around the world.

The other 2 bullets are totally wrong and should be removed.

Thank you for your consideration.

Leon
