Heading the group is Martii Ahtisaari who was a prominent member at the Durban Conference where he gave this speech.
Sadako Ogata was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees from 1991-2001. And....well.....we know what kinds of reolutions are passed from commissions like this when it comes to Israel. Not to mention that the UNCHR was the organizer of the Durban Conference.
The two last minute additions are:
Thomas Peter Fitzgerald, who headed the UN international police force in Bosnia. Fitzgerald was also part of the UN police missions to Namibia, El Salvador and Cambodia.
And Retired US Major General Bill Nash.
