Syrien i FN:s mänskorättsråd?

Ännu ett exempel på varför FN:s mänskorättsråd inte har någon trovärdighet.
UN Watch arbetar för att inte Syrien skall väljas till medlem i FN:s mänskorättsråd.Om inte kampanjen mot Syrien lyckas kommer landet att väljas till medlem i rådet den 20 maj.
Enligt mänskorättsorganisationer har Syriens militär och polis dödat ca 400 personer under de senaste veckornas protester.


Campaign to block Syria's election to UNHRC underway (Jerusalem Post)
"NEW YORK – An international NGO campaign to oppose Syria’s candidacy for the United Nations Human Rights Council is underway with the hope that Syria’s move to be included in the Geneva body can be blocked at the scheduled mid-May election.The non-governmental organization UN Watch expects to publish an initial appeal, signed by 50 human rights groups, this week, and has planned that several human rights groups, together with Syrian dissidents and victims, will appear at UN headquarters on May 19th,the eve of the UN General Assembly election, for a press conference to lobby against Syria’s election.
Syria’s election to the UN's Human Rights Council is a virtual sure thing, unless another candidate enters the race or Syria fails to win a majority of votes in the May 20 election in the 192-member General Assembly. Diplomats are working behind the scenes to determine whether a special session of the Human Rights Council could be called for later this week to address the current crisis in Syria, in which Syrian security forces have opened fire on crowds of peaceful protesters."
