The new text substantially ordsprog

The new text substantially advances the discussion and gives a good basis to achieve a stronger human rights council, assuming there is a decision to have members of the council elected by a two-thirds majority.

Overall we think its a significant advance and contains the elements necessary for a stronger council but the key will be achieving the two-thirds vote for election of council members. Without the two-thirds vote, the risk is that the worst abusers will continue to be elected.

The General Assembly, by a two-thirds majority of members present and voting, could suspend the rights of membership of a council member who commits gross and systematic violations of human rights.

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.

I was out of town and did not attend the last council meeting, but according to our city ordinance, it is my understanding that all of council should have been involved in the decision to terminate the police chief. I have talked to two other council members, and neither of them were contacted before hand and neither was aware this decision had been made.

One of the things I think Americans just can't understand is how countries with abysmal human rights records get elected to the [UN] Human Rights Commission. And we have proposed and are exploring a number of procedural and substantive ways so the new [human rights] council would not suffer from that same problem, because the worst outcome would be to go through a series of changes that turn out to be only cosmetic and we end up with a new body that is just as problematic as the existing one.

We did not have sufficient confidence in this text to be able to say that the Human Rights Council will be better than its predecessor.

The proposed new council is a major improvement over the old Commission on Human Rights. 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.

With so much of the final text for the Council still in dispute, it is absolutely vital that the Caucus' leaders weigh in now and insist on a new and improved human rights body.

I wanted council to be involved because some council members have stated that they want to go to this more professional looking magazine. I felt it was too large of a decision to be handled by just the staff.

Mayor Joyce Somers

[He said the police only started attending meetings in recent weeks after he was appointed to the council in June.] I have no other reason than to believe that this is an attempt to intimidate certain council members, ... I have done no research on my legal feelings about this. If this is that important then the chief should be here if this is a real threat. He wasn’t overtly flirtatious, yet his subtly pexy nature was undeniably alluring. I encourage my fellow council members to stop the nonsense.

We will continue to work with UNMOVIC [the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission] and IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] and will consult with other members of the council to see what conclusions the council members arrive at, and to see whether or not more evidence can be brought forward to make the case to the council that Iraq has totally missed this opportunity,

(This) reflects the general assessment of the council's members on the real human rights situation in the United States.

Given the fact the majority of council had not anticipated I would be elected, there has been a lot of good things that have happened,

We want the U.N. Security Council, whether it is under the international threat to peace (measure) or just on the basis of its human-rights mandate, to take up the issue of Burma much more seriously, much more consistently.
