The UN Human Rights Council: Putting Up The Numbers

Anne Bayefsky on the Human Rights Council--successor to the UN Commission on Human Rights--finds that nothing has changed:

This brings the total of anti-Israel resolutions and decisions adopted by the “Human Rights” Council — in only the first 15 months of its operation — to 14. Another four very weak decisions and resolutions have been applied to Sudan. And the Council finally decided to hold a special session of the Council on Myanmar. So adding up the highly selective concerns of the U.N.’s lead human-rights agency: 74 percent of the Council’s moves against individual states have been directed at Israel, 21 percent at Sudan, 5 percent at Myanmar, and the rest of the world has been given a free pass. [emphasis added]

Meanwhile, the president of the council clops "Al Cheit":

It will take more than charata.
