B’nai Brith slams UNHRC over Syrian candidacy
TORONTO – B’nai Brith Canada has condemned the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) for allowing Syria’s candidacy for a seat on the UN’s human rights body. Due to the UN’s fixed, regionalized election process, Syria’s bid could well secure a seat for the blood-soaked regime at the UNHRC, which shields and rewards the world’s worst human rights abusers, while chastising beacons of democracy and freedom, such as the US, Canada and Israel.- Thursday, July 5, 2012
