France + Libya = More UN Comedy

It looks like France and Libya may be teaming up to take Sudan off the list of UN human rights violators. If this farce of Libya chairing the human right's committee and Iraq chairing the disarmament committee is allowed to continue, the UN will have no standing to complain about our dismissing them as non-sensical.

I'm not really sure how much credence to put in this article, though. It makes claims like France is doing this for the oil money and that Libya is doing it for political reasons - all of which may be valid and true. But it also claims that the French embassy is stating that they are boycotting the new site - which may be true also, but I think it hurts the credibility of the author's claims.

From all the research I've done, Sudan appears to still be a horrendous human rights violator. It's a shame that a possible collusion by France and Libya - those two paragons of morality - is going to be dismissed as useless ranting because of one throwaway line.
