“Reform” UN-Style: Sending Human Rights Down the UN Memory Hole

Just how warped is the United Nations? Have a look. To the credit of the blogosphere, the video clip linked below has been widely making the rounds, so I ask pardon if you have seen it already. But it bears watching, saving, emailing and watching again. It shows the head of Geneva-based UN Watch, Hillel Neuer, speaking the truth to the President of the “reformed” UN Human Rights Council, Mexico’s Luis Alfonso de Alba. And then it shows Alfonso de Alba, in the style of satraps from time immemorial, expressing his displeasure and warning Neuer that any statements “in similar tones to those used today will be stricken from the records.”

Here’s the clip, with a transcript included [1]. The photo nearby shows former UN Satrap-General Kofi Annan congratulating Luis Alfonso de Alba last June on his assumption of the throne of the new “reformed” UN Human Rights Council.
