Libyan leader Colonel Gadaffi is to head an international watchdog on human rights.

Libya is to be elected chair of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights - despite its links with terrorism and torture.

The move sparked a storm of controversy as it emerged British officials did nothing to block the appointment.

Libyan terrorists were responsible for the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, which killed 270 people, and Gadaffi's regime has been criticised for violence against its own people.

Isolate

Human rights groups and Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith united to criticise the appointment.

But a Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "Our policy is to engage constructively with Libya, rather than isolate them."

Gadaffi's one-year term begins next March.

When I first saw this, I thought it was a sick joke. Then I saw it was the UN. I was right...

This makes perfect sense. What better poster boy for the U.N., than Gadaffi.

If there was any evidence that the UN needs to dissolve, this is it. This makes me sick.

I believe our beloved President Reagan blew it off the little despot with a couple of well placed F-111 bombs.
