ANOTHER ATTACK ON THE UN
Yet more trashing of the UN’s human rights commission:
“We have reached a point at which the commission’s declining credibility has cast a shadow on the reputation of the United Nations system as a whole and where piecemeal reforms will not be enough.
“The commission’s ability to perform its tasks has been overtaken by new needs and undermined by the politicization of its sessions and the selectivity of its work.
“The new human rights council must be a society of the committed. It must be more accountable and more representative.”
The speaker? Kofi Annan.
