The UN General Assembly has elected the executive members of its major committees to serve from now until September 2014. It is a window into why the UN of the 21st century - which has no criteria for membership even for its leadership positions - does not have the moral authority which it claims.

Here are some of this year's crop:
• UN General Assembly First Committee, (Disarmament and International Security) Chair: Libya; Rapporteur: Iran
• UN General Assembly Third Committee, (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural) Vice-Chair: Lebanon
• UN General Assembly Sixth Committee, (The Legal Committee), Chair: Sri Lanka Vice-Chair: Egypt
• And on the permanent list to serve as UN General Assembly Vice-Presidents are China and Russia.

So the lawless terrorist base of Libya presides over the committee on international security, nuke-seeking Iran is on the executive of the committee charged with disarmament, Hezbollah-dominated Lebanon is on a top spot on the human rights committee and international law meetings will be run be two countries where the rule of law is a challenge (to say the least).
