Okay that's fair, but if you believe US has some of the worst human rights offenses, why has nothing come of "investigations" into use of Drone attacks on civilians and abuses of Native Americans? The idea of the UNHRC is all and good, but in reality, an investigation by them really holds no weight internationally, all it is a pat on the back for those that said some event should be looked at, then it's all thrown to the side.
Part of that is because if it had any real weight, those countries that Blankall talked about would have a lot to worry about, but until they actually try to uphold human rights, those countries will sit pretty on those panels feeling good about themselves for "making a difference".
