Whatever
one may think of the manner in which Colonel Gaddafi was disposed of, one cannot disagree with
this call for the UN Human Rights Council member, Jean Ziegler's resignation for founding the
Moammar Kaddafi Human Rights Prize. Nor is there anything terribly wrong about calling
on UN chief Ban Ki-moon and human rights commissioner Navi Pillay to acknowledge the UN was wrong to support Gaddafi by granting him key posts on its most influential bodies.
This blog has discussed the subject from time to time, notably
here and
here also
here and
here on EUReferendum. I must admit I do not expect those acknowledgements and apologies to materialize.
Very sad:

Yes well. Mostly, I think the UN's demise is even more important than that of the EU. It's a close call.
