She lamented the loss of Washington's help after Sept. 11 in pressing other countries about human rights. "The United States used to play a strong role in raising human rights concerns in its bilateral relations," she said. "Now the United States is more focused on getting coalition partners against terrorism and is not necessarily raising human rights."

That's funny, I don't remember Mary Robinson ever praising our efforts on human rights...do you? Now, apparently we were good in retrospect, and our number one job is to be perfect on human rights now (never mind those pesky terrorists), because it's a law of nature that the US is best on human rights, the other democracies are worse, and the rest of the world should be held to no standard whatsoever (except for that racist apartheid state Israel, of course).

The world according to the UN.
