Jerusalem Summit Call For 
New Body To Replace UN

Two speakers addressing the second Jerusalem Summit, this morning, called
for the establishment of a new international body, representing
democratic states, to undertake the charter of the United Nations which,
they explain, has been sorely ignored. 
  
Opening the assembly this morning in Jerusalem's King David Hotel was Isi
Liebler, Senior Vice President of the World Jewish Congress. Mr. Liebler
stated that since its inception, the United Nations has become a "burden
to global tranquility" and in its present form, it would be best for the
UN "to disappear". Liebler added that the international body "displays
incompetence on the level of its predecessor, the League of Nations." 
  
Former Mossad Intelligence Agency director Shabtai Shavit also addressed
the forum. Shavit is considered to be an expert in the field of
counter-terrorism. He told the forum he sees terrorism as being divided
into two categories, "classical" and "current," citing some of the
distinctive characteristics of both. 
  
The "classical" age of terrorism ended, Shavit explained, in the 1970s,
and the "current" age of terrorism began, pointing out that in the past,
terrorists were operating more locally; today we have seen a transition
to a global terrorist operating platform -- motivated by a "cause" in the
past but today, primarily actuated by "religious fanaticism,"
specifically "Islamic fundamentalism." 
  
Shavit, a 32-year veteran of Israel's intelligence community, is
confident the need exists for the establishment of an international body
to fulfill the mandate of the United Nations. 
  
The next speaker was Prof. Anne Bayefsky of the Hudson Institute, an
internationally acclaimed expert on human rights law. She labeled the UN
as the "leading global purveyor of anti-Semitism". The professor pointed
to the recent American national elections, during which both candidates
during pre-election debates concurred the United Nations is no longer an
option. Prof. Bayefsky added the shameful Durban Conference was yet
another example of the UN's blatant anti-Semitic agenda. 
  
Prof. Bayefsky pointed out that 30% of all UN Human Rights Commission
resolutions target "human rights" violations committed by Israel, while
in 75% of the organization's resolutions, there is no mention of some of
the world's most blatant human rights violators, including Syria, Saudi
Arabia and China. 
  
The summit, which opened on Saturday night, addressed by former Chief
Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, will continue through Tuesday evening.
