Note
Here is the attempt by UN General Assembly President Jan Eliasson and other UN members to isolate the United States on the proposed Human Rights Council. You know how bad the Council has become when South Africa, speaking on behalf of the bloc containing most every despotic regime in the UN General Assembly, says it is enthusiastic about the resolution and is keen to adopt it. Then of course, why would they object to a new human rights body that hands them even more power than the previous Commission? (AB)
