United Nations Praises Qaddafi Human Rights Record

Via Fox News :

A United Nations panel has adopted a report praising Qaddafi-era Libya for its human rights record, a year after the report was sidelined amid international objection. 

The report initially came before the U.N. Human Rights Council in the middle of the uprising against the Muammar Qaddafi regime. At the time, the U.N. had just voted to suspend Libya from the rights council -- under pressure to maintain a consistent message toward Libya, the council later postponed consideration of the report.

But the Human Rights Council on Wednesday returned to the document -- and approved it. 

U.N. Watch Director Hillel Neuer blasted the council for the move, saying the panel should have called a new session entirely to review Qaddafi's "heinous crimes." (continue reading at Fox News, hat tip R.J. Godlewski)

 

The same question comes to mind each time we learn more about the United Nations:  Why are we still supporting the UN financially and otherwise?

i believe the west does get a lot from supporting the UN. However there has been a failure on the side of our leaders to articulate this to the people. Hence the valid questions about how our money is being spent.
