Littman and Spencer: I have known a lion
Comments by David G. Littman, NGO Representative to the United Nations in Geneva of Association for World Education (AWE) / World Union for Progressive Judaism (WUPJ):
Twenty years ago, the Ayatollah Khomeini and Salman Rushdie competed with St. Valentine at the 45th session of the UN Commission on Human Rights. The UN media was waiting for a reaction and nothing happened. I decided to speak out as main representative for the World Union for Progressive Judaism. I remember the Moroccan ambassador advising me amicably that, if I was determined to speak on the subject, it would be wise to avoid a direct mention of Khomeini by name, as it might be dangerous. I decided to speak under item 10 (on any form of detention or imprisonment) which began two days later. I prepared a text on hostage-taking and international terrorism, and was able to deliver it on February 17, before any State representative or NGO had done so (only one other NGO spoke on it briefly and four State delegates) I referred to the December 20, 1988 a meeting in the Carlton Hotel in Beirut where: “the leaders of the seven most ruthless Middle East terrorist organizations met to unify their actions and decided that jihad would continue. The very next day, Pan Am Flight 103 – the “Maid of the Seas” – was blown out of the skies, with the death of 259 persons in the air and 20 on the ground at Lockerbie in Scotland. This act of war was denounced as such by the civilized world.” I then addressed the subject without mentioning Khomeini, but calling a spade a spade and a Fatwa a Fatwa. Later, I decided to take the floor a second time (March 2) and a third time (March 7). Spain spoke briefly for the EU on February 22, the UK on the 27th, and the USA on March 6, France the 8th, both very briefly. Below – for the historical record – are the relevant passages from our 3 statements, which were then published (Human Rights and Human Wrongs, No. 6, WUPJ, 1989)/
