SOME RARE BUT WELCOME GOOD SENSE FROM MARY ROBINSON: “I hoped that the Human Rights Council would act in a human rights way, and set up a commission of inquiry into both. Alas — and this was a problem of the previous Human Rights Commission — it only set up a commission of inquiry into what had happened in Israel, by the Israel forces. And that is not the human rights approach; that is the political approach. And if the Human Rights Council continues to taint human rights with the political approach, this time because of the Organization of the Islamic Conference countries…. They had the majority, they wanted to hit Israel, not do human rights work.”
