The UN Human Rights council in the past few days had a few items on their agenda. Of course being the UN, most of the items addressed had to do with Israel and how it is the source of all the worlds evil. The UN Human Rights council comprises of 47 members, including Canada, and over half the citizens in these member countries have little or no freedoms. These moral authorities proposed to make Israel's "atrocities" a permanent item on their agenda, and the only voice that opposed this was Canada. The custom dictates that you must have an unanimous vote for these issues to go through, but of course since it deals with Israel these rules can be ignored. The council also has taken away actual observers of human rights violations in such countries as Cuba and Belarus, and now they will more easily be able to break human rights codes.
It is obvious to see that the UN is perhaps the most corrupt institution in the world. When the voices on the Human Rights council are actually the ones breaking human rights so severely you know there's a problem. Instead of trying to stop the genocide in Darfur, the situation in Burma, and many other things, they instead only focus on Israel.
The only good thing that came out of this vote was that Canada refused to vote for this anti-Semitic agreement. After years of voting with the majority, Canada has finally taken a stand. I'm proud that our country refuses to agree to these biased motions, and in my opinion all countries with any moral fiber should pack up and leave the UN.

I agree it's about time. I don't agree with Harper on everything, but on these types of issues he has been better than his predecessors of both parties.
