You know the world is completely cockeyed when totalitarian Twelvers deride democratic Canada for being deficient in the human rights department:
The Canadian government has come under fire for dismissing UN concerns over its human rights violations against the country's Aboriginals, Press TV reports.
This comes as UN Human Rights Council is conducting its Universal Periodic Review in which there have been calls for a national inspection into the disappearances, murder and sexual abuse of Aboriginal women.
Several member states including Iran, Cuba, New Zealand and Norway have all voiced concerns about the country’s human rights violations especially against the Aboriginals.
The Harper government received a total of 162 recommendations in the review on how to improve its country’s human rights record of which Canada dismissed a number of suggestions.
Critics say whenever the Harper government comes under criticism at the UN, they try to deflect attention from it by focusing on the alleged human rights records of the states making the condemnations.
In addition, critics say the international community should also scrutinize the controversial tar sands oil developments in Canada, as they have devastating impacts on the Aboriginal peoples and their lands...
Let's get real. "Critics" hate the Harper government for its staunch support of Israel, ergo these "critics" have their own agenda and absolutely no credibility.

50,000 Claimes filed against Turkey at European Court of Human Rights between 2002 and 2012.
Not a whisper from their BFF Iran.
It's time to rename the UN "human rights" racket to more accurately reflect its ethos and M.O. The UN Bash Israel and Its Friends Council, perhaps?
