[Heaven] Record Number Of Islamic Nations, Fewer ‘Free’ Countries, To Take Control Of U.N. Human Rights Council

Record
Number Of Islamic Nations, Fewer
‘Free’
Countries, To Take Control Of U.N.
Human
Rights Council
Next week’s election for new members
of
the U.N. Human Rights Council is
expected to
result in a greater share of seats
going to
the Organization of the Islamic
Conference (OIC)
than ever before, while the number
of
countries deemed “free” falls to a
new
low. Barring any surprises, the
Islamic bloc
will emerge from the May 13 election
in
control of 18 of the total 47 seats,
the
highest number since the
Geneva-based body
was formed in 2006 as part of a
broader
initiative aimed at reforming the
U.N.
Surprises are unlikely, since the
five U.N.
regional groups all have closed
slates of
candidates, meaning that with one
week to
go, there is no competition. Not
only will
the OIC have more seats than ever
before
(the previous record was 16) but
less than
half of the council’s members will
be
“free” countries, as defined by the
democracy watchdog Freedom House.
