As the U.N. Commission on Human Rights prepares to convene, Jewish groups are lobbying members against adopting anti-Israel resolutions. In advance of the commission’s annual session, which begins March 17, the Anti-Defamation League called on panel members to reject one-sided condemnations of Israel.
