Kenneth Roth Commission Quotations

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 reason highly abusive governments flock to the commission is to prevent condemnation of themselves and their kind, and most of the time they succeed. If you're a thug, you want to be on the committee that tries to condemn thugs.

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.

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