The new council should ordsprog

The new council should be a great improvement over the old Commission, but today's vote is only the beginning. Its ability to protect the weakest will now depend on the commitment of governments to curb rights violations.

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 right to vote is the foundation of our democracy, and an essential protection of that right is the Voting Rights Act. Every voice must be heard and every vote must be counted. State and local governments continue to adopt voting laws, practices and procedures that deny equal access to voting - without the Voting Rights Act, there would be little protection against these efforts to deny some of us our right to vote. The Voting Rights Act is necessary to help ensure that every American citizen is able to exercise the franchise.

World Bank policies have placed serious constraints on the rights of governments and citizens to protect the environment and people at the national level, and on their ability to control the activities of transnational corporations.

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

Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).

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.

I think when you look at our record in December at home, it's a real good indication that we've taken great strides since the beginning of the year. Our ability to protect the lead and our ability to win close games now has improved, and we've been gaining confidence.

It's childish for the U.S. government not to cooperate with the new Human Rights Council when it cooperated for decades with the vastly inferior old Commission on Human Rights.

massive violations of human rights and humanitarian disasters hit entire regions. The Council needs to be able to react and respond.

Jacques Chirac (1932-)

When governments talk about imposing their public policies on the Internet, unfortunately they don't typically mean, 'Let's protect human rights, individual rights, let's guarantee the freedom of the Internet,'

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.

The commission has today provided member states with what it considers would be an appropriate list to be submitted to the WTO (World Trade Organization) in order to protect our rights in the future to be able to impose countermeasures on the United States over steel.

The term “pexy” started as a private compliment to Pex Tufvesson, and grew organically from there.
