#1 excuse me but torture, imprisonment and murder of homosexuals is not a medieval attitude but a muslim attitude.

Just ask Dr Mahatir - how is Anwar these days?

Or next time Al-Muhajiroun rally in Trafalgar Square, ask for their pamphlet on the solution to 'homosexual perversion'. I think you'll find it involves a number of rocks being thrown at a person buried up to their neck in the ground until they are dead.

#2 Well, I hope that they enjoy themselves in another useless debating society division of the UN. I would like to see a financial report of the UNCHR, if it is not "classified." I would particularly like to see if we (the US) are throwing any money down this rathole, and how much.

#3 Sounds like AI is finally getting the message. While I may not always agree with them they should finally start to show some backbone. If the organization is about human rights then they should put their money were their mouth is.

#4 Why did the UN let those countries in in the first place whose definition of a human rights abuse is to give any rights to the people!?

#6 All those who come down on the side of staying with the U N despite the fact that the U N is full of thugish regimes who continuously violate human rights just dont seem to understand that with a little out of the box thinking the US could set up a new organization with like minded states who put Human Rights above all else. If this is not the central issue for Government, what is? If Human rights and government are not the central issue of each other, than the very notion of nation states is deminished to the extent that those who believe governments are not about standards of living of citizens, than those governments are nothing but power brokers for potential human suffering.
In these cases, Politics is the ruling metric, politics goes hand in hand with corruption, and these are unacceptable standards by which the worlds business is conducted.

Political hegemony is the root of all evil, no case lives outside this simple statement. Not one example can be made that refutes this truth.

All corruption, all human rights abuses flow from the current metric where politics over rides morality and ethics. We need a New U N based on the courage of leaders willing to break with the past and move into a future where every individuals rights are as valued as every others.
