Canada was the only one out of 47 members of the UN Human Rights Council to protest a package of new procedures that dropped Belarus and Cuba from a blacklist while subjecting Israel to permanent indictment.
The Council declared a "consensus" agreement despite Canada's protests, and refused to let Canada vote on the package. This video from the June 19, 2007 debate shows Canada's principled objection and the strictly procedural vote that effectively declared the agreement to have been won by "consensus."
