Self Reliance
The UN Human Rights Council is a state-oriented body housed in a state-oriented institution. And even though the Human Rights Council’s own reports acknowledge the complicity of member states and transnational corporations in perpetrating the worst human rights abuses in the world today, depending on state-oriented governance structures (like the UN) to challenge these First World abusers is illogical. Self-reliance is indeed a much more dependable approach for Fourth World nations in resolving grievances over land and bigotry.
