6. Response to United Nations Resolution on Zionism

House Resolution 855, 94th Congress, agreed to November 11, 19751 Whereas the United States, as a founder of the United Nations Organization has a fundamental interest in promoting the purposes and principles for which that organization was created; and Whereas in Article I of the Charter of the United Nations the stated purpose of the United Nations include: "To achieve international cooperation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion;" and Whereas the General Assembly of the United Nations decided to launch on December 10, 1973, a Decade of Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination and a program of action which the United States supported and in which it desires to participate; and Whereas the United Nations General Assembly on November 10, 1975, adopted a resolution which describes Zionism as a form of racism thereby identifying it as a target of the Decade for Action to Combat Racism and Discrimination; and

Whereas the extension of the program of the Decade to include a campaign against Zionism brings the United Nations to a point of encouraging anti-Semitism, one of the oldest and most virulent forms of racism known to human history: Now, therefore, be it Resolved. That the House of Representatives sharply condemns the resolution adopted by the General Assembly on November 10, 1975, in that said resolution encourages anti-Semitism by wrongly associating and equating Zionism with racism and racial discrimination, thereby contradicting a fundamental purpose of the United Nations Charter; and be it

Resolved, That the House strongly opposes any form of participation by the United States Government in the Decade for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination so long as that Decade and program remain distorted and compromised by the aforementioned resolution naming Zionism as one of the targets of that strug gle; and be it

Resolved, That the House calls for an energetic effort by all those concerned with the adherence of the United Nations to the purposes stated in its Charter to obtain reconsideration of the aforementioned resolution with a view to removing the subject of Zionism, which is a national but in no way a racist philosophy, from the context of any programs and discussions focusing on racism or racial discrimination.

1 Two similar resolutions were passed by the Senate in the 94th Congress: Senate Resolution 288, agreed to October 28, 1975, and Senate Concurrent Resolution 73, agreed to November 12, 1975.
