UN Watch has been active in combating [[human rights]] abuses in [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]] and [[Darfur]], and has been vocal against abuses in regimes such as China, Cuba, Russia and Venezuela, often using its allotted time at the UNHRC to allow for [[dissidents]] and [[human rights activists]] to speak. UN Watch is frequently critical of what it views as [[Israel and the United Nations|anti-Israel]] and [[antisemitic]] sentiment at the UN and UN-sponsored events.<ref name="jewishtimes.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.jta.org/2009/04/06/news-opinion/world/pro-israel-activists-set-to-do-battle-at-durban-ii |title=Pro-Israel Activists Set To Do Battle At Durban II |work=Jewish Times |date=18 April 2009 |access-date=7 December 2011}}</ref><ref name="jta.org">{{cite web|url=http://www.jta.org/2008/09/08/life-religion/features/u-n-rights-chief-praises-durban-ii |work=Jewish Telegraphic Agency |title=U.N. rights chief praises Durban II |date=8 September 2008 |access-date=7 December 2011}}</ref>
