Christian Tomuschat, a judge in Germany, resigned unexpectedly, it was reported Thursday.

B'nai B'rith International welcomed the resignation in a statement issued Thursday, noting the report in the online edition of the Israeli newspaper Yediot Achronot. The organization had called for Tomuschat to leave because he was not a neutral arbiter.

"Tomuschat’s resignation ought to further undermine the credibility of the report he submitted to the [U.N. Security] Council in September," the B'nai B'rith statement said. "In his report Tomuschat repeated the odious claim that Israel engaged in 'violence against civilians as part of a deliberate policy.' Tomuschat’s report went on to criticize Israel’s legal system for failing to mount a witch hunt for 'officials at the highest levels.' Referring to a Hamas internal 'investigation,' in which Hamas exonerated itself from all wrongdoing, Tomuschat’s team could only conclude that it 'is not in a position to ascertain the veracity of any of these assertions.' "

Victory: Thanks to UN Watch, German law professor Christian Tomuschat, the anti-Israel and anti-American official heading the UN committee to enforce the Goldstone Report, has resigned. The biased UN probe is now headless, and is in disarray.

This unprecedented resignation follows a global campaign by UN Watch that exposed Professor Tomuschat's egregious bias and breach of his obligation under international law to be objective and impartial:

• UN Watch's team of researchers tracked down and translated Professor Tomuschat's German academic writings. We published a 30-page report revealing for the first time how he had frequently compared Israeli actions with the "barbarism" and "inferno" of World War II. This was reported worldwide, including in the Washington Times.
