The anti-Israel UN hack couldn’t even bring himself to admit that Hamas is a terrorist organization.
UPDATE: Schabbas did consultancy work for the PLO! Taken from his blog post on his resignation (H/T: GS) :
The complaint about my brief consultancy, as I understand it, is not about the content, which is of a technical legal nature, but the implication that in some way I am henceforth beholden to the Palestine Liberation Organisation. Perhaps there is also the suggestion that I might tailor my opinions in one direction in order to generate more such consulting for remuneration. If I were indeed motivated by financial gain, it would be hard to explain why I would have accepted the position as Chair of the Commission of Inquiry, to which I have gladly devoted several months of work and for which there is no remuneration whatsoever.
William Schabas, UN Anti-Israel Investigator Resigns
Schabas’s resignation is a cynical attempt to protect his anti-Israel report that comes out in March, from accusations of bias.

William Schabas, the man the UN Human Rights Council appointed to run yet another UN inquiry against Israel resigned on Monday, just prior to his report’s release this coming March, according to a Reuters report.
Schabas’s resignation appears to be a thinly disguised attempt to provide cover for the anti-Israel investigation and report, allowing the UN team to claim that Schabas’s anti-Israel bias had nothing to do with the final version.
Israel has repeatedly accused Schabas as being biased against Israel — and with good reason.
Schabas has said he wanted Netanyahu and Peres be brought to trial before the International Criminal Court for war crimes, but Schabas refused to describe Hamas as a terrorist organization.
