In summary, the conversation discusses the moral corruption of the UN in regards to Syria, with the Security Council's inability to issue a condemnation for the Assad regime's actions and Syria's potential acceptance into the Human Rights Council. There is a debate on whether or not involving in Syria's internal matters is wrong and what would be the best course of action. The conversation also briefly touches on the idea of overthrowing Syria's political structure and the role of the US in comparison to Syria's actions.

Care to expound why the timing would be so very wrong??

Currently, Syria is quite unstable and the government's harsh crackdown of protesters is well covered in the media. It harms the UN credibility: timing is wrong for UN.

However, HRC does have a http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4810538.stm" (accepting notorious members).http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/row/RL33608.pdf

Eeh?
How would it harm UNs credibility to refuse Syria entry at the Human Rights commission?

Because media on the liberal left has the moral monopoly on coverage of Syrian outrages, and that UN therefore should not "interfere" with a condemnatory resolution/candidacy refusal?

Really, was there here some valid argument, deeply buried?

accept not refuse.


Earlier, While I pointed out few things that might make accepting Syria less negative however I never claimed that such decision is good:
It might not be as negative because at best it could open up Syria ...

Perhaps the best thing would be if, say, some 30-40 democracies threatened to leave the UN, with immediate withdrawal of funding (they stand for about 70%) unless the other countries move to throw Syria out of UN altogether?

And then repeat that threat to kick out some more countries, alternatively crippling the UN by leaving it en masse?
