UNHRC – What a joke

In a move that surprises no-one, the United Nations Human Rights Council voted earlier today to endorse the Goldstone Report.

The council has been meeting for the past two days in a special session called by the Palestinian representatives and supported by 18 of the worlds greatest defenders of human right – those nations are :Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bolivia, China, Cuba, Djibouti, Egypt, Gabon, Indonesia, Jordan, Mauritius, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Senegal.

Clearly a body that incorporates such defenders of human rights should be taken seriously.

Th final vote was 25 for the motion, 6 against and 11 abstentions.

More later.
