“The U.S. is somewhat skeptical about the U.N,” Neuer said. “But in most places in the world, they are not skeptical of the United Nations. The U.N. is gospel. And so things that come out of the U.N. have enormous impact around the world.”

 

As reported earlier by CNSNews.com, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom’s 2008 report released earlier this month named 13 countries as Countries of Particular Concern (CPC) and 11 on a “watch” list because of violations of religious and human rights.

 

Among those 24 countries cited by the commission, eight are named on the U.N. Web site as previous or current members of the Human Rights Council from 2009 to 2011 – China, Cuba, Nigeria, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Indonesia and Pakistan.
