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.
