The United Nations General Assembly elected 14 new members to the Human Rights Council on Thursday, including several countries accused of human rights violations. Dozens of human rights organizations criticized the selection of Libya, Angola, Malaysia, Thailand and Uganda. The American ambassador, Susan E. Rice, expressed “regret” that a number of countries with “problematic” records had gained seats. Washington still views the council as “flawed,” she said, but will stay on it to help shape its agenda.
