I think this is an interesting question. But to assess it properly, I would appreciate it if you could clarify one part. Which nations do you think are morally credible to evaluate human rights these days?

Not a joke.

For example, I know people were complaining about Libya being in the UN group. Fair enough, but then what about the US and its torture of innocents? Palestinian or Israeli authorities certainly don't have the moral standing. China? no. Russia? no.

In effect, what country has the moral standing to credibly evaluate human rights nowadays so that critics don't dismiss these international groups with prejudice?
