Video: Iran, Syria and 'Human Rights Council' slammed at Durban II prep conference

I love this video. It starts out 'tamely' with the representatives of Iran and Syria at the 'Human Rights Council's preparatory conference for Durban II claiming that they have no 'racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia or related intolerance' in their countries. Then Anne Bayefsky, the director of Eye on the UN, representing the Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust (an NGO) takes the floor. She starts out saying that every addict knows that the first step in overcoming an addiction is acknowledging that you have a problem. Then she goes on to slam Iran, Syria and the 'Human Rights Council.' Watch the show - it's dynamite.

Carl, could you provide a URL to these links as well? Most of these are showing up as grey boxes.

Had this been filmed 30 years ago, I would have assumed that the Syrian representative is being played by John Cleese and this was a great Monty Python dig at the UN.

BTW, not surprising but here's a contrarian Iranian opinion.

Kranky,

Not sure which links you're referring to.

In this day and age, only dictatorships could get away with shedding crocodile tears for "human rights.

Its sickening.
