UN: Genocide and Slavery Compatible with Human Rights
The US delegation to the UN Human Rights Commission walked out as Sudan was elected to the commission.
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Sudan won an uncontested election on Tuesday to the United Nations’ main human rights watchdog, prompting the United States to walk out because of alleged ethnic cleansing in the country’s Darfur region.
Sudan’s delegate immediately shot back that the U.S. delegation was “shedding crocodile tears” and turning a blind eye to atrocities committed by U.S. soldiers in Iraq against civilians as well as against prisoners.
