Speaking on September 23, 2016, at the UN Human Rights Council session dedicated to the demonization of Israel, agenda item 7, Malaysia accused the democratic state of Israel of violating every single human right. In its words:
"The world continues to witness the repressive policies as well as brutal and systematic attempts by Israel to break the spirit of the Palestinians and to make their life in the OPT [occupied Palestinian territories] unbearable... It begs a serious question for this Council and all human rights champions: which particular human rights and fundamental freedom that the international community strives to promote and protect worldwide, that is not yet violated by Israel in the OPT?"
