The UN and Human Rights

Posted by Michael Sidiropoulos on January 25, 2003 at 07:42:42:

The United Nations have recently appointed Libya as the current leader in the human rights effort. China, a stalinist state with the worst possible record on human rights, is a powerful member of the UN Security Council influencing major decisions of global impact. The majority of UN member countries are totalitarian states, who cannot claim to represent their people and yet are allowed to influence world affairs and UN policy. It is time to realize the irrelevance of the UN and to replace it by an organization of democratic nations.
