FN prisar Gadaffis Libyen?

FN:s råd för mänskliga rättigheter kommer i mars att behandla en årsgammal rapport om situationen i Libyen.
UN Watch rapporterar att risken finns att rapporten som prisar Gadaffis Libyen kommer att godkännas.
Om så sker kommer rådets redan skamfilade rykte att ytterligare försämras.

Outrage: UN rights council readies resolution praising Qaddafi regime’s human rights record  (UN Watch)

 "GENEVA, February 27, 2012 — The independent UN Watch monitoring group, which initiated last year’s successful NGO Campaign to Remove Libya from the UN Human Rights Council, today called on the US, the EU and UN rights chief Navi Pillay to urge council president Laura Dupuy Lasserre to cancel a planned resolution praising the Qaddafi regime’s human rights record, slated for adoption in the session that opens in Geneva today with foreign ministers attending from around the globe. (See countries’ praise of Qaddafi below.) 

Despite the council’s own inquiry this year finding evidence of war crimes by the Qaddafi regime, the UN Human Rights Council, according to the agenda of its current session, is planning to “consider and adopt the final outcome of the review of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya,” which lavishes praise on the disgraced regime."
