 The commission will continue until the creation of a council. The proposed new council is a major improvement. |
| The decapitation strategy was an utter failure on military grounds, since it didn't kill a single Iraqi leader in 50 attempts. But it also failed on human rights grounds. It's no good using a precise weapon if the target hasn't been located precisely. |
| The EU largely ignored human rights abuses by its friends in Africa. It was very good about speaking out against the pariah Zimbabwe. But when it came to Angola, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda, there was little if anything said. |
| The hypocrisy factor has encouraged copycat techniques around the world by people who do like the U.S. does and has also weakened the United States as one of the traditional important supporters of human rights. |

| The Mexican government needs to ensure that rape victims do not have to endure dangerous back-alley abortions or imposed pregnancies. A public official who fails to inform rape victims of how they can obtain a voluntary legal abortion is contributing to a human rights violation and should be disciplined. |
| The moral authority of the United States depends on its working effectively with other countries to advance human rights protection ? not blocking a consensus proposal that makes so much progress for human rights. The current resolution can be made to work if the United States joins with other democracies to establish the new council and make it function effectively. |
| The new council should be a great improvement over the old Commission, but today's vote is only the beginning. Its ability to protect the weakest will now depend on the commitment of governments to curb rights violations. |
| The people who carry out suicide bombings are not martyrs, they're war criminals, and so are the people who help plan such attacks. The scale and systematic nature of these attacks sets them apart from other abuses committed in times of conflict. They clearly fall under the category of crimes against humanity. |
| The prohibition against targeting civilians doesn't depend on the behavior of one's adversary. Even in the face of Israeli violations of international law, Palestinian armed groups must refrain from deliberate attacks against civilians. |
| The proposed new council is a major improvement over the old Commission on Human Rights. It would be reckless for the United States to force a vote because that will invite amendments from spoiler states to weaken the council. The time has come to accept the overwhelming consensus behind the council and to work to make it function effectively. |
| The reason highly abusive governments flock to the commission is to prevent condemnation of themselves and their kind, and most of the time they succeed. If you're a thug, you want to be on the committee that tries to condemn thugs. |
| The result is that many pregnant rape victims are essentially assaulted twice, first by the rapist and second by public officials. |
| The U.S. government's use and defense of torture and inhumane treatment played the largest role in undermining Washington's ability to promote human rights. |
| There had been tremendous progress toward a consensus in creating a human rights council. That consensus has now been damaged because Bolton picked up the pages of the draft document and threw them into the air. |
