Editor's Note:

This is a transcript EyeontheUN has prepared of the dialogue that occurred in the UN General Assembly's Third Committee on the subject matter of human rights violations in Sudan. It took place on November 23, 2005 and it resulted in the defeat of the effort to condemn Sudanese human rights violations at the UN's 2005 General Assembly. So on December 16, 2005 when the General Assembly adopted a handful of resolutions critical of the human rights records of particular states, Sudan was not among them. This transcript reveals the reason why. The institutional impediment to the success of the UN as a truly global human rights leader remains the fact that most UN member states are not fully democratic. Protecting their own is the underlying pathology, which a "new" Human Rights Council will not solve.
