Dispute hits UN rights watchdog

[CHIMO]

A session of the United Nations Human Rights Commission has been suspended for a week amid disagreement over plans to reform the Geneva-based body.

The commission meets annually to examine global human rights standards.

The US has condemned the reform plan, but it has broad support from European, Asian and African countries.

Members with poor human rights records have recently discredited the commission's work, the BBC's Imogen Foulkes reports from Geneva.

human rights records recently discredited commission's work=a UN that is not working in my name.
This makes me so very angry because America again is the bad guy. I want the UN to represent me!
And especially concerning human rights; we need to inform people of what's going on in our name! Thanks, CHIMO! This is a start!
