"The available biographical information on Garlasco’s career prior to employment at HRW is consistent with the view that his expertise is far below the level required for the claims made in his HRW reports," the statement said. NGO Monitor’s director Gerald Steinberg said "Garlasco’s statements in various chat forums and other platforms dealing with Nazi memorabilia explain the anti-Israel bias that is reflected in his reports." "HRW’s reliance on Garlasco’s supposed ‘expertise’ raises enormous questions over the credibility of their activities," Steinberg said. "It reflects an organization that has consistently placed ideology above professionalism and universal human rights values.""
