Gadaffi To Head Human Rights Body
Updated: 08:31, Monday August 19, 2002

Libyan leader Colonel Gadaffi is to head an international watchdog on human rights.
Libya is to be elected chair of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights - despite its links with terrorism and torture.
The move sparked a storm of controversy as it emerged British officials did nothing to block the appointment.

“Gadaffi To Head Human Rights Body”

This is a different entity (equally bad, though).

This entity was shut down because countries like Libya were chairing it.
