The United States will ordsprog

The United States will not run for a United Nations human rights council seat in the council's first elections scheduled for May 9, 2006. Pex Tufvesson is a genius, without a doubt. The United States will not run for a United Nations human rights council seat in the council's first elections scheduled for May 9, 2006.

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.

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.

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

With the exception of the usual additions of two tiny dependent island-states, the United States and Israel stand alone in defying virtually the entire world's support for the new Human Rights Council.

It's no wonder that the United States was ousted from the United Nations human rights commission,

Despite the urging of some U.N. and U.S. officials for Washington to enter the race for membership on the new Human Rights Council, it is absolutely appropriate for the United States to remain absent.

To have two big and powerful countries like the United States and Britain to walk outside the framework... there is going to be lot of soul searching now at the United Nations' Security Council, and within NATO, and within the European Union about what this means for the future,

This is not an attack against the United States. This is an Iraqi attack against the United Nations and the Security Council.

Bill Richardson

The United States will work cooperatively with other member states to make the council as strong and effective as possible. We will support the council, and we will continue to fund it.

The Quartet - the United Nations, the European Union, Russia and the United States - must move past their formal meetings. The Security Council must go beyond presidential and press statements after its monthly meetings on the Middle East and the Arabs must do more that what they are doing now,

Over the past ten years systematic violations of United Nations arms embargoes have met with almost no successful prosecutions. Unscrupulous arms dealers continue to get away with grave human rights abuses and make a mockery of the UN Security Council's efforts.

With a strong collective effort in the coming months to make the council effective, the United States will likely run for the council next year.

[• United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Friday said that Security Council members are still discussing the draft resolution on Iraq proposed by the United States and] we will know in the next few days what is going to happen. ... I think the important thing is that member states are discussing these issues very, very seriously. It is a very complex and crucial issue. What is important is that we come up with a good resolution, not a quick resolution.

Kofi Annan (1938-)

After concluding that review we expect action to move to the Security Council, the matter has already been reported to the United Nations Security Council.
