Evil can be stopped

From UN Watch:

Hugo Chavez is an enemy of human rights who has trampled basic freedoms at home while aiding and abetting mass murderers such as Syria's Bashar al-Assad, Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Libya's Col. Muammar Qaddafi. Shockingly, he was elected to the U.N. Human Rights Council without any opposition -- the U.S. and the EU were shamefully silent.

The U.N. Human Rights Council appointed Alfred De Zayas as a top expert, yet his books on World War II portray Germans as victims and the Allies as perpetrators of "genocide." De Zayas is a hero to Holocaust deniers, and is featured on many of their websites. He calls for Israel to be expelled from the the U.N., and defends the murderous Iranian regime.

Liu Xiaobo was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his “his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China.” He is currently in a Chinese prison, serving a 11-year sentence for allegedly "inciting subversion of state power." China has now placed his wife, Liu Xia, under house arrest to prevent her from traveling to Norway and receiving the award on Liu’s behalf. In his October 8 statement, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon failed to congratulate Liu Xiaobo, or to call for his release. Instead, he actually praised China’s “remarkable” advances, and for “steadily joining the international mainstream in its adherence to recognized human rights instruments and practices.” Urge Mr. Ban to speak truth to power and call on China to release this political prisoner now.
