UN Human Rights Council
By Micah Halpern

Saturday June 7, 2008

I've Been Thinking:

It is about time.
The United States has formerly declared that they are removing themselves from the United Nations Council on Human Rights.

The Council meets in Geneva and was created two years ago.
It is composed of 47 members.
The United States is not a member, the United States has observer status.

The US would often voice an opinion against atrocities.
That was a problem.
The Council is controlled by many of the worst human rights abusers in the world. The lock on the majority comes from the Arabs, Muslims and Africans.

The main objective of the Council is not to criticize Israel and but to protect human rights and advocate for human rights - which is used an entree to criticize Israel.

Ironically, some of the worst human rights abusers voted for the establishment of the Council on Human rights - Burma, China, Cuba, Ethiopia, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, and Zimbabwe.
