re: un vote on fence, from the scotsman
If this wasnt such a tragic subject this author has a future as a comedy writer;
"When the court began its review of the security fence, it received legal submissions from a number of countries, which it duly spent time examining. Predictably, these were from unbiased, disinterested democracies such as Cuba, North Korea and Syria. There was even a submission from Sudan, denouncing Israel’s lack of regard for human rights. Presumably this was intended as a serious document and was not a practical joke. I ask because the Sudanese government has not had a lot of time lately to reflect on human rights law as it has been too busy murdering 10,000 of its citizens in Darfur because they are black"
