US Elected To Seat On UN Human Rights Council

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
Yesterday's Washington Post reports that the United States for the first time has been elected to membership on the 47-member United Nations Human Rights Council. The U.S. has been strongly critical of the workings of the Council, and in the Bush administration chose not to seek a seat on it. (See prior posting.) U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice said there are still problems with the Council, but added: "We are looking forward to working from within with a broad cross-section of member states to strengthen and reform the Human Rights Council." (See prior related posting.) A State Department release also announces the U.S. election to the 3-year term on HRC. [Thanks to Alliance Alert for the lead.]
