| As western governments improve relations with Libya, they should press the government to improve its respect for human rights. Libya's cooperation in fighting terrorism should not mean carte blanche to commit abuse. |
| China has to decide what sort of global citizen - what sort of power - it wants to be. That will be a major factor shaping world affairs from economics to international politics. |

| Iran will be the litmus test for whether China will become a responsible stakeholder in the world. |
| It is absolutely essential that a two-thirds majority be required for membership on the new council. Nothing short of a two-thirds majority will provide adequate guarantees that the council will not simply replicate the devastating membership problems of the commission. |
| It obviously doesn't do everything we hoped for. But it is clearly better than the Human Rights Commission. |
