Arbour scolds UN human-rights body 10:38, 25/04/2005, Reuters
United Nations human-rights chief Louise Arbour delivered a stinging report to the UN`s top rights forum yesterday, saying the way it singled out just four states for rebuke was "not credible."
Addressing the 53-state Commission on Human Rights at the end of its annual six-week session, Ms. Arbour said nobody could believe that only those four -- Cuba, Myanmar, North Korea and Belarus -- merited scrutiny by the Geneva-based body.
The former international war-crimes prosecutor urged the commission to take up quickly one of the recommendations made by Secretary-General Kofi Annan in his plan for reform of human-rights monitoring -- namely that the records of all states should be periodically reviewed.
