It looks obvious

Complementing Mr. Annan become an Habit in this blog. Today’s compliments are due to his criticism on the UN Human Rights Mockery Council:

GENEVA (Reuters) - Secretary-General Kofi Annan said on Wednesday the United Nations’ new human rights body risked becoming deadlocked by the same political maneuvering that sunk its discredited predecessor.

In a statement to the third session of the Human Rights Council, Annan urged member countries that are "truly determined to uphold human rights" to stand out against violations wherever they occur even if they risked angering regional allies.

What I liked particularly was:

"There are surely other situations, besides the one in the Middle East, which would merit scrutiny at a special session…I would suggest that Darfur is a glaring case in point," he said.

Well said Mr. Annan!
