What goes on in Sudan, or Algeria or India doesn't attract lots of media attention either, because the press is not welcome and because these are matters inside countries borders.

The UN's purpose is to avoid conflicts between nations.

If Zimbabwe and China got a human rights commission and not the US, doesn't it have to do with giving this role to different countries from each continent?
Besides, one wonders why , inspite of the fact that the US is the sole surviving great power , its influence in the UN has diminished so much. Doesn' it precisely have to do with it's disdain towards the UN, its reluctance to pay the bill (leaving it to Ted Turner)?
This, until the president changed his mind, of course.
