Canada asks UN expert to resign over anti-Israel remarks

[Iran Press TV] Canada has called on a UN rights expert, Richard Falks, to quit over his anti-Israel remarks, saying that the report he submitted to the UN General Assembly was disgraceful.

"Richard Falk has a long history of making outrageous statements, and frankly, has only tarnished the reputation and integrity of the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
," said Rick Roth, a front man for Canadas Foreign Affairs Minister, John Baird on Thursday.

"Mr. Falk has not only done a disservice to the United Nations, but also to the Paleostinian people. Canada calls on Mr. Falk to either withdraw this biased and disgraceful report - or resign from his position at the United Nations, he added.

This comes as the UN's special rapporteur for the Paleostinian Territories, Falk, presented a report to the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, saying that since a number of Israeli-owned and multinational corporations involved in building and maintaining the Israeli settlements in the occupied territories violate international human rights
...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state...
, a worldwide boycott should be launched against these companies.
