From my understanding the US refused a seat on that council when it was formed in 2006 largely due to the UN's record of focusing all its human rights criticisms on Israel while completely ignoring the gross violations in places like China, North Korea, many Middle Eastern countries, etc. I can't say as I blame the US for not taking a seat. I mean China is on the Human Rights Council and it has one of the worst human rights records in the world, so can it really be a fair council?
