| 2012-07-06 | |
[Jerusalem Post] UN Watch, an NGO that monitors the international body's activity, says despite Assad's crackdown, Syria likely to get spot on council due to system of fixed slates. UN Watch cited a draft resolution presented in Geneva in which the US opposed Syria's candidacy for a Human Rights Council seat in 2014. The resolution, which is also supported by the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... , said Damascus ...Capital of the last remaining Baathist regime in the world... "fails to meet the standards" for Human Rights Council membership. | |
