The U.S. Department of State released the seventh annual International Religious Freedom Report, which examines the status of religious freedom around the world....
The 2005 report redesignates Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Vietnam as "Countries of Particular Concern" (CPC) for severe violations of religious freedom. The same countries were listed as CPCs in the 2004 report.
And how many of those are members of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights? China, Eritrea, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Sudan. In other words, most of them. Making the UN HRC a sick joke, doesn't it. Which begs the question: Why are we part of it?
