The UN Hits Bottom - GoFuckYourself.com

The pathetic joke known as the ?UN Human Rights Commission? has descended to a new low, as the country of Sudan, a hellhole of genocidal murder and unrepentant slavery, is assured a seat on the commission.

Quote:

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - African nations have ensured that Sudan gets a seat on the chief U.N. human rights watchdog and angered rights groups who want more liberal democracies to win a place.

Fourteen vacant seats will be filled on Tuesday and on Wednesday for the 53-nation U.N. Human Rights Commission. Many have been decided by regional groups before the voting in the Economic and Social Council in New York.

Sudan has been the target of worldwide criticism, including an expression of concern from the Geneva-based commission in late April. It has been accused of backing Arab militia destroying villages, raping and killing black Africans in the Darfur region.

?A government that engages in wholesale abuses of its citizens should not be eligible for a seat at the table, especially a country just criticized by the commission,? said Joanna Weschler, U.N. delegate for Human Rights Watch, one of 10 advocacy groups that issued a protest statement.

?This is a major credibility test of the regional bloc structure at the United Nations in terms of how it nominates candidates for key U.N. posts,? Weschler said.

In the African regional group, which rotates candidacies for commission posts, Sudan, Guinea and Togo ? all called undemocratic by the rights groups ? will be filling seats on the commission. A fourth will go to Kenya.

Well they will be right at home with one of the other members on the commission which operates an illegal prison in Guantanamo.

In any event the UN has become nothing more than a gravy train for dubious diplomats.
