(Clearwisdom.net) Radio Free Asia News from the United Nations: The United States will return to the United Nation's Human Right Commission next year. Spain and Italy have voluntarily given up their rights to compete with the United States, guaranteeing that the United States will be elected.

According to Reuters, European diplomats here say that from intensive talks with the United States, Spain and Italy recognized the importance of a United States presence at the UN Human Rights Commission and have voluntarily withdrawn from competing for the seat. As a result, the return of the United States to the Human Rights Commission is a certainty when it meets in April to elect the next Commission.
