This shape and form of Human Rights Council was created by voting and can be changed by voting.
It is intergovernmental elected comity dominated by Muslim countries.
Secretary General and High Commissioner for Human Right, European Union, United States and number of human rights NGOs criticized it.
Despite their name panel is concern mainly about Israel and Islam.
This is not a serious body. Real work is done in Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, big independent agency.
BTW, There is also Third Committee of General Assembly. I say only that this is open forum.
P.S. In my opinion it is much better to give people of the whole world forum to express their opinion than not to. Otherwise we will be hearing how human rights abuses in Arab are "white man fault" or even something more ridiculous.
