Nice find, waffle. Interesting this hasn't made larger headlines around the world. Good to see some other countries finally growing some much needed balls...

So? thats like getting impeached in elementary school student council. Everyone knows the UN is a powerless hindsight organization. Theyre afraid to act on anything. And when someone does act, they condemn it.

hhhhmmmm Update:

Yes this happened early May........7 years ago, in 2001.

In fact the United States has been reinstated on the INCB and they were voted off the Human Rights Commission only to be reinstated a year later. The Human Rights Commission was replaced by the UN Human Rights Council in 2006 but the US refuse to sit on it.

Which is just as well cause the UN do fuck all anyway!

even by shoutwire standards this is a new low in revisionists history. Bobalou summed up everything I was going to say.

The US has no need to even be in the UN.
