Sprawiedliwość i solidarność w polityce zagranicznej Izraela na forum Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych
JUSTICE AND SOLIDARITY IN ISRAEL’S FOREIGN POLICY IN THE UNITED NATIONS

Summary/Abstract: Israel’s foreign policy is a game of ideas and interests. The ideas usually havetheir roots in the Jewish religious tradition and ethic, which – as Israeli politiciansemphasise – constitute universal world heritage. By invoking them, Israel attemptsto justify its policy (interests), which is broadly criticised in the UN, especially forhuman rights violations. Therefore, Israel pays particular attention to promotingthe notions of justice and solidarity, which have been addressed by, among others,the UN’s Millennium Development Goals; this includes practical measures tofulfil these notions. The article is an attempt to verify the principle adopted by the constructivist method of studying international relations that ideas need not collidewith interests – they can be incorporated in interests and emphasised as a ‘morenoble’ factor, easier to accept by the other participants in international relations.
