==Etablering==

UN Watch ble grunnlagt i 1993 under ledelse av [[Morris Berthold Abram]]. Abram fungerte som formann i [[United Negro College Fund]] og president av [[Brandeis University]]. Abram var aktiv i lokalsamfunnet som president av American Jewish Committee (1963–1968); formann i National Conference of Soviet Jewry (1983–1988); og formann av Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (1986–1989).<ref>[http://www.unwatch.org/site/c.bdKKISNqEmG/b.1286149/k.6F41/Founder_Morris_B_Abram.htm ''UN Watch'': Founder: Morris B.

Abram støttet FN som institusjon. In 1999 holdt han en tale for den amerikanske kongressen om behandlingen av Israel i FN.  "FN Watch støtter FN kategorisk som en uunnværlig institusjon.  USA bør betale sin ubetalte kontingent til FN som et spørsmål om nasjonal ære og som en anerkjennelse av FNs betydning.  Til tross for FNs feil, er de utenkelig at USA holder tilbake støtten fra den eneste virkelig globale organisasjonen i en slik gjensidig avhengig verden.»<ref>United States. Congress. House.
