    Why is it that some of the biggest violators of human rights are members of the United Nation and some are even on the U.N. human rights committees. Why are pass ports required. Why do many countries hide known human rights violators and not return the offenders to the countries where the violation occurred.
    Sorry if I offend anyone with these questions

    All valid questions. Very few nations actually live up to these standards, yet they've been in place almost as long as the UN itself.
