Hat tip to Mike for pointing out this very good UN-watching site, Eye on the UN. Of particular interest, especially given the post below concerning the coopting of the language of Human Rights for nefarious purposes is this video and these still photos from the 2001 Durban "UN World Conference Against Racism."

If you want to understand why many of us have grown cynical to the point of dismissiveness of Human Rights-speak, watch this video. The video is a fair reflection of everything I've read and heard of what a UN conference that was to have been against racism turned into.
