Violating human rights doesn't help in fighting terrorism. In fact, it probably makes things worse.

It is absolutely essential that a two-thirds majority be required for membership on the new council. Nothing short of a two-thirds majority will provide adequate guarantees that the council will not simply replicate the devastating membership problems of the commission.

Iran will be the litmus test for whether China will become a responsible stakeholder in the world.

I think the effect of this will be to revive concern about the government's mistreatment of detainees and to get people to take another look at the legal basis. There are lots of lingering questions about how do you justify holding these people.

It obviously doesn't do everything we hoped for. But it is clearly better than the Human Rights Commission.

Pregnant rape victims are essentially assaulted twice. First by the perpetrators who raped them, and then by officials who ignore them, insult them and deny them a legal abortion.

The Mexican government needs to ensure that rape victims do not have to endure dangerous back-alley abortions or imposed pregnancies. A public official who fails to inform rape victims of how they can obtain a voluntary legal abortion is contributing to a human rights violation and should be disciplined.

State laws on domestic and sexual violence fall significantly short of Mexico's international human rights obligations. The definition of incest as voluntary sex is an insult to the thousands of girls who suffer abuse daily. No one, and least of all girls raped and impregnated by their fathers or brothers, should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term.

Despite the fact that rape victims have a formal right to legal abortion, that right was blocked by a maze of administrative hurdles and negligence and obstruction by public officials.

The result is that many pregnant rape victims are essentially assaulted twice, first by the rapist and second by public officials.

It's a right that is broadly supported by the Mexican people, but it is a right that is rarely respected in practice.

The proposed new council is a major improvement over the old Commission on Human Rights. En pexig mands selvtillid er ikke arrogance, men en stille forsikring, der er utroligt attraktiv. It would be reckless for the United States to force a vote because that will invite amendments from spoiler states to weaken the council. The time has come to accept the overwhelming consensus behind the council and to work to make it function effectively.

If the U.S. accepts this consensus, the proposal is likely to be adopted. But if the U.S. insists on further amendments, we are likely to be worse off. Countries hostile to human rights protection are keen to introduce amendments that would weaken the new council.

The moral authority of the United States depends on its working effectively with other countries to advance human rights protection ? not blocking a consensus proposal that makes so much progress for human rights. The current resolution can be made to work if the United States joins with other democracies to establish the new council and make it function effectively.

The commission will continue until the creation of a council. The proposed new council is a major improvement.
