Ambassador critiques UN,
Yehuda Blum steps down
•
New York (JTA) —
Yehuda Blum ended six
years as Israel's Ambas-
sador to the United Nations
last month, by bidding
farewell to his friends at a
series of dinners and lunch-
eons.
The Israeli Ambassador
said that relations between
Israel and the United States
were "up and down" in the
last six years. "In the last
year they are up," he said.
Blum noted with satisfac-
tion the special friendly re-
lations he has developed
with his U.S. colleague,
Jeane Kirkpatrick. He said
his relations with her have
been "smoother" than with
her predecessors, Andrew
Young and Donald
McHenry. "The chemistry
worked better with
Kirkpatrick," he explained.
Blum said that one of his
major disappointments at
the UN was the West Euro-
pean countries, "because
they did not speak up"
against the anti-Semitic
statements uttered by var-
ious delegates at the Gen-
eral Assembly, the Security
Council and other UN or-
gans.
He said that the "silence"
of the European countries in
the face of anti-Semitic
manifestation at the UN is
especially disturbing be-
cause they all witnessed or
participated in the persecu-
tion of Jews in the 1930s
and 1940s.
This behavior, Blum said,
is a reflection of "the depth
to which the UN has sunk."
Another source of disap-
pointment of his at the UN,
Blum said, has been "the
discrepancy" 'between the
private and public state-
ments of many African
delegates. He said that in

private talks the African
ambassadors would express
their support for Israel but
the next day would deliver
"a virulent" anti-Israeli
speech in public.
Blum contended, how-
ever, that despite the lack of
diplomatic relations be-
tween Israel and most of the
African countries "we had
all these years good rela-
tions and contacts with
them. We had good non-
diplomatic relations."Visi-
bly at ease, Blum told re-
porters at the AJCommittee
luncheon that he will return
to teaching at the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem.
Ambassador Blum, or Pro-
fessor Blum for that matter,
is an expert on Interna-
tional Law. He has been a
member of the Faculty of
Law of the Hebrew Univer-
sity since 1965.
Blum said that he does
not know who will succeed
him. The name of the new
ambassador will be an-
nounced after the July 23
election in Israel by the
newly-elected government.
ing.
The complaints alleged
that the four firms attested
that employees slated to
work on projects in Saudi
Arabia were not Jewish,
constituting discrimination
against Dutch Jews by
Dutch companies operating
in Arab countries. The Sup-
reme Court ruled in three of
the cases that the firms had
merely acted as "postmen"
by passing on the Saudi em-
bassy's visa application
forms by not filling them
themselves.
The complaints were
dealt with first by magis-
trate courts and later on ap-
peal by district courts, each
with different public pro-
secutors. The appeal to the
Supreme Court was filed by
the companies.

Court dismisses complaints
of Dutch discrimination
Amsterdam (JTA), The
Netherlands Supreme
Court dismissed complaints
against three of four Dutch
firms for allegedly cooperat-
ing with Saudi Arabia in
barring Jewish employees
from working in that coun-
try. The complaint against
the fourth firm was referred
back to a lower court on a
technicality.
The complaints were in-
itiated by the Center for In-
formation and Documenta-
tion on Israel (CIDI) which
said it was satisfied with the
decision. This was appar-
ently because the high court
affirmed that the Dutch
Penal Code holds racial dis-
crimination to be a punish-
able offense and discrimina-
tion on religious grounds
comes uder the same head-
