Note
UN news says UN experts say that sexual assaults are rampant in Egypt and political and religious leaders are blaming women. Talk is cheap. In the month of March, the annual meeting of the top women's rights body in the UN, the Commission on the Status of Women, named only one country for allegedly violating women's rights – Israel (for violating the rights of Palesitnian women). The UN Human Rights Council has never adopted a resolution or taken any action on Egypt. In March the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, was provided a unique opportunity to tell the world what in her view were the world's top human rights concerns and press for international action – her list included Israeli "occupation" – nothing on Egypt.
