Illusions About Human Rights
The Decline and Fall of the U.N.'s Human Rights Agenda
Wednesday, April 5, 2006
The Human Rights Commission of the United Nations has become so discredited that even Secretary-General Kofi Annan admits it has "cast a shadow on the reputation of the United Nations system as a whole." The creation of a Human Rights Council to replace the Commission, however, will not lift the shadow of a politicized body that shields the world's worst human rights offenders from criticism. EPPC Senior Fellow Joe Loconte, joined by Nile Gardiner of the Heritage Foundation, explores the reasons for the UN failure and charts a way forward.
