Another UN Human Rights Triumph

That august body passed a resolution proclaiming it blasphemy to criticize human rights violations in Muslim countries. Who will rid us of this meddlesome body? Abe Greenwald writes:

The UN’s defining role is as enabler of repression and prejudice. Whether protecting Sudanese butchers on behalf of Chinese autocrats, or Iranian theocrats on behalf of Russian autocrats, the UN has inverted the definition of human rights with stunning finality. One can argue about the restorative ideological pendulum that swings inside the United States. But the UN only moves in one direction –anti-Western– by small steps and great leaps.

At least the UN is incompetent and cowardly, so nothing may come of this.
