(Jerusalem Post) Hillel Neuer - In 2003, dictatorships hijacked the UN Commission on Human Rights, electing the murderous regime of Libya's Muammar Gaddafi as chair. At the initiative of UN secretary-general Kofi Annan, the UN in June 2006 replaced the commission with the Human Rights Council, a reformed body of members committed to human rights, which would address the world's most severe abuses. As the new body celebrates its tenth anniversary next month, has the council lived up to the promises of reform? In over 50 sessions, only 14 countries have been condemned - less than what even the discredited commission accomplished. With 62% non-democracies, the council's 2016 membership is the worst ever. The council's pathological obsession with demonizing Israelis, and denying their human rights, has never been worse. It has adopted 67 resolutions condemning Israel - six more than for the rest of the world combined. The writer is executive director of UN Watch in Geneva.2016-05-20 00:00:00Full Article
