Libya to head UN's Human Rights Commission

Colonel Moammar Gadhafi’s Libya will soon occupy the human rights chair. Africa has nominated Libya which will apparently be confirmed by the 53 member commission soon.

This will no doubt enhance the UN’s reputation as the guardian of human rights everywhere. Perhaps there is a twisted logic to this as Libya has lots of experience violating human rights and will be able to recognize when it occurs.

I guess something like this should be no suprise after the UN Conference against racism in South Africa which seemed like nothing short of a racist event itself where the real racists ganged up on Israel and branded it racist.
