"UN Watch and other groups have also criticized the Human Rights Council for its preoccupation with reports and resolutions criticizing Israel over the Palestinian issue. By contrast, Neuer said that the council has never adopted a resolution critical of Russia, China, or Saudi Arabia."
"The United States is among the current members of the council, with a term set to expire in 2015."

The USA boycotted this abomination under Bush, at least. Obama making us join speaks to his agenda.

People pretty much had the same reaction in the U. S. after Katrina.

Oh, the AP was all for Russia when Russia was communist and sending people off to die in the gulags. Now, the Russians don’t bend over and kiss the homosexuals asses, and the AP turns on them faster than a scared gerbil.

North Korea's also starved their own people to death so their ‘sh*t for brains’ leaders can have more luxuries.
That certainly makes them scummy enough for a UN Human Rights Council...

Saudi Arabia - Human Rights Council? I guess they gave women the right to drive automobiles. Oh, not yet? I guess women aren’t consider full humans in Saudi Arabia, but then again, non-muslims are considered even more non-human there.

Thanks haffast.
New York-based Human Rights Watch pointed out that five of the candidates -- China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and Algeria -- have refused to let independent U.N. human rights monitors visit to investigate alleged abuses. "Countries that haven't allowed U.N. experts appointed by the council to visit have a lot of explaining to do," said Peggy Hicks, global advocacy director
No, Peggy, they won't. They'll tell you to shove your demands up your keister, but will have the imprimatur of the UNHRC behind their refusals. And when they condemn Israel yet again, Human Rights Watch will be backing them 100%.
