There is no reason to expect moral probity from the UNHRC. It's current membership includes human rights paladins like Saudi Arabia, China, Congo, Cuba, and Qatar, with a preponderance of nondemocratic countries. Here's an example of the UNHRC's "findings": Not surprisingly, Syria with a civil war raging and now 60,000 dead, sailed smoothly through its 2011-2012 “periodic review” by the council, with worthies like North Korea “commending” it for its “efforts…to maintain security and stability”. And Iran praising its “efforts…to promote and protect human rights.” Except for political simpletons, the UN long ago became a tool for every odious regime to look legit! Israel quite rightly told them to fuck off.
PS: The Bush administration took the USA OUT of the UNHRC; under Obama the U.S. REJOINED this morally bankrupt Inquisition.
Israel...ISRAEL!? They sent you a tweet, which Allah forbids me to repeat. |
