and why the world health organization is comparing videogaming to crack cocaine. a cesspool of political bias that's how the u.s. described the u.n. human rights council and justified withdrawing from the un body its ambassador to the un nikki haley made the announcement with secretary of state mike pompei o haley accused the council of chronic bias against israel and called it a hypocritical and self-serving organization the us joined the u.n.h.c.r. in two thousand and nine under the obama administration the united states is officially withdrawing from the un human rights council. in doing so i want to make it crystal clear that this step is not a retreat from human rights commitments on the contrary we take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights we did not make this decision lightly the human rights council is a poor defender of human rights. worse than that the human rights council has become an exercise in shameless hypocrisy with many of the world

for the united nations on what we call sustainable development in the 1980s and ran the world health organization on global health issues and began to get the world thinking about the issues. the one of the gates foundation there next to the world health organization that the second-largest vendor on global health. these are laid out but there is a representative sample, not definitive. if you are to have a book and a book club be fun to say who is on your list. there could be others, i chose them and i'm happy to talk about others who might come in. a second caveat is that is for the particular peacemaking roles, not their overall record. for example, kissinger is in here for the china opening, not for his foreign-policy, not for the vietnam war a part of the argument is that i think about leaders is sometimes like waiting for the perfect person will be perfect in every way. what happens is you get people who can help with different sets of issues. the same applies for the genocide in the muslim minority. she is the de facto leader. we really wrestled with us. i had her in there for the courage

health argument. yes well in you know since under the law of the world trade organization there's a there's a balance between a rights and obligations the right to regulate such as in the interest of health and try to obligations on the other side and where this efficient evidence to support the effectiveness of regulation then for the most part it's consistent with the law of the world trade organization and so in that sense is really nothing that surprising about the decision it's their scope for this to be deployed elsewhere on the king about sugary drinks and the like where a lot of people they want taxes on them but they also want warnings about you know this is exactly what this drink or this type of food will do to your health i wonder if this can be deployed further and actually it will open up a whole lot more cases like this. with this stage from the world health organization we on the recommend plan packaging in the context of tobacco products there's a very large body of evidence to suggest that plain packaging reduces the attractiveness of to record products it does limits the pack as a f
