That's right, the US was booted off the UN Human Rights commission and Sierra Leone, Sudan, Togo and Uganda were all added. What are the human rights records of those countries? Of course it doesn't matter since that commitee is a hypocritical sham anyway.
quote:
The hypocrisy of the expulsion from the UN Human Rights Commission was glaringly obvious by which nations were voted in. At the same time the US was voted off the UN Human Rights Commission, Sudan, Uganda, Sierra Leone and Togo — all countries with poor to atrocious human rights records — were voted into the commission.
The Muslim Sudanese government, for instance, has slaughtered or enslaved some 2 million Sudanese Christians and animists in Southern Sudan in one of the most massive "ethnic cleansing" efforts in the history of mankind. Yet, not only has the UN turned a blind eye to this atrocity, they voted the offending government to sit on the very same UN commission that is supposed to prevent these kind of violations.
I say give 'em Bolton.
