Good luck with that!

Israel is demanding 'real reform' at the UN 'Human Rights Council.'

“After almost four years of operation, it has become clear that the Council has failed to live up to the expectations which accompanied its establishment, having too quickly followed in the footsteps of its discredited predecessor, the Commission on Human Rights,” the four-page document stated.

“Israel welcomes the review of the ‘working and functioning’ of the Council and considers the review process as a genuine opportunity warranted to bring about substantive changes in the working methods, function and composition of the Council. A real reform is needed in order to enable the Council to fulfill its mandate and play a leading role in promoting and protecting human rights around the globe.

“The principles that are meant to guide the work of the Council include ‘universality, impartiality, objectivity and non-selectivity… with a view to enhancing the promotion and protection of all human rights.’ Unfortunately, these principles are not present within many aspects of work and functioning of the Council.

“If the Council continues to be seen as a cynical tool for [some] States, rather than a mean to advancing a responsible human rights agenda, it will undoubtedly continue to fail.”

The 'Human Rights Council' is happy with the way things are right now. They're happy to be a tool for the anti-Israel vanguard. They're not going to change. What needs to happen is for the civilized nations of the world to withdraw from the 'Human Rights Council.' Unfortunately, there is no chance of that happening so long as Barack Obama is President of the United States.
