Another Victory for Justice

What a brilliant concept, what comfort to be

derived from a global institution designed and

created to uphold universal human rights, to

set standards by which all nations recognize the

human and state imperative to strive toward the

assurance that equality, opportunity, justice and

freedom prevail throughout the world. A world

beset by conflicting values, cultures, religions

all striving to mount pinnacles of superior power

over others convinced theirs reflects the highest

attainment of human achievement. The politics

of conquest, of ethnic and sectarian hostility all

surrender to the humanizing concept of equality 

and fairness where the great hall of member nations 

call misfits to order and consign outliers to the 

dungeon of moral opprobrium. So comforting it is 

to see a country that has seen fit to slaughter a 

half million of its own for insubordination while 

half its entire population flees the wrath of the

regime appointed to the great institution's glowing

human rights forum where it can henceforth 

pronounce judgement on other nations respecting

the rights and entitlements owing their own.
