U.S. urged to back new UN Human Rights Council proposal
Ten advocacy groups led by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch urged Condoleezza Rice to support a U.N. plan to replace the Human Rights Commission with a 47 member council. They called the draft a credible step, though not perfect, and warned further changes could derail progress. The letter responded to comments by John Bolton who questioned the draft’s ability to exclude abusers and urged continued negotiations.
