I totally agree with you but I would move it a step further, how about not
being in position to even grade any one's human rights level? For if we
condemn Rwanda for its autocratic government, so should we the American.
Thank you for bringing a level into this discussion for some reason that
part escaped me this morning. (My time)

Whilst I agree with the arguments of the US on this,I think the US should
be
excluded from sitting on this council becoz of its human rights violation
in
Iraq.

Thank you Emmanuel for this information. Rwanda, under the current
regime, should not get a seat in any human rights council. That
country is indeed "unfit to sit in judgment of others". I than thank
the Bush administration for that effort.

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration is trying to
exclude seven nations from a new U.N. human rights
council, saying their own records make them unfit to
sit in judgment of others.
In a reform proposal, Sudan, Liberia, the
Democratic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Somalia,
Sierra Leone and Rwanda would not be eligible to serve
on a revised human rights council.
The seven countries are subject to sanctions by the
U.N. Security Council for human rights abuses and the
United States wants to keep "some of the worst
offenders off," Kristen Silverberg, assistant
secretary of state for International Organizations
said Wednesday.
Forming a new human rights council to replace the
"discredited" Human Rights Commission is an important
part of the U.S. agenda for reform of the United
Nations, she said.
Besides excluding the seven nations, the United States
is proposing that appointments to a new council have
the support of at least two-thirds of the members of
the U.N. General Assembly.
That would be helpful in keeping some of the worst
offenders off, Silverberg said.
Other nations that also seek reform have other
approaches, and all will be discussed by U.N.
Ambassador John Bolton and other nations' U.N.
representatives, she said.
"We feel very good about our agenda and on progress we
are making in persuading other member-states,"
Silverberg said.
"There is a lot of support in the U.N. for this kind
of thing," she told reporters.
Reform is a key item on the agenda of the U.N. General
Assembly session. President Bush is expected to
touch on the problem in the annual presidential speech
Sept. 14 and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
will spend more than a week in New York holding talks
on human rights and other issues.
