U.N. "Human Rights" Council set to launch investigation targeting U.S.

"The brother of George Floyd made an earnest plea on Wednesday...Philonise Floyd, in a video message to the Human Rights Council, backed a call by dozens of African countries hoping to create a Commission of Inquiry - the council's most powerful tool of scrutiny - to report on racism and violence against protesters by police in the U.S...
The U.N.-backed council, which counts 47 member states, was also discussing a draft resolution floated by the Africa Group that singles out the United States.

The same Council has never created a Commission of Inquiry on Mauritania – a world capital of slavery, on Saudi Arabia – home turf for gender-apartheid--on Iran – the world leader in terror and antisemitism--on China – an epicenter of ethnic prejudice--or on Russia – a systemic practitioner of LGBTQ oppression,' she told Fox News Wednesday afternoon...

Bayefsky, a human rights scholar and activist, added: 'Today's Human Rights Council's 'urgent debate' featured Syria's chemical weapons aficionados lecturing the United States on solutions for 'brutality' and 'social inequality.'

Human Rights Council who will vote on tomorrow's resolution include some of the world's most appalling examples of racism, racial and religious discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, Sudan, and Libya.

'The saddest part of invoking the U.N.'s so-called 'Human Rights Council' as a means to encourage reform in a democratic society like the United States, is that the U.N.'s lead human rights body is a global vehicle to cover-up and promote intolerance, not to eradicate it. Hypocrisy, double standards, deceit and duplicity is not a recipe for moral progress.'..."
