The regional commission that produced the report, based in Beirut, Lebanon, comprises 18 Arab member states of the United Nations.
Many have questioned why the United Nations continues to engage with Mr.
Falk.
Mr.
Guterres has said that he had no advance knowledge of the report and that it did not reflect his views.
Israel and its supporters had exhorted Mr.
Guterres to renounce the report, which they described as a baseless smear meant to isolate and delegitimize the country.
The authors included a former United Nations human rights investigator, Richard Falk, which particularly galled many Israel supporters who regard him as an anti-Semite and a discredited conspiracy theorist.
