GENEVA (AP) ? Israel is a no-show as the top U.N. human rights body reviews its record ? the first time that a nation has done that without giving a reason.
At its meeting Tuesday in Geneva, the U.N. Human Rights Council waited for Israel to appear for its once-every-four-years rights review, then determined it had not.
Council spokesman Rolando Gomez told The Associated Press "we're in new territory here" with the unprecedented absence without a reason ? once before Haiti didn't appear, but it gave a reason.
U.S. diplomats have said the council is too focused on Israel, though all U.N. member nations are required to submit to such a review.
Israel said last year it would stop cooperating with the council because of an international fact-finding mission into Israeli settlements.
