.@LaurenBinDC's comical defence of the #IHRCEE named by @UN_HRC
1/ Mrs. Blanchard tries to defend the #IHRCEE report by saying 'it is not inconsistent' with the JIT report. This is provably false.

2/ Unlike the more comprehensive report of the JIT, the #IHRCEE depended on remote interviews, focused only on three incidents and two thematic areas and completely ignored Afar! And yet managed to arrive at more sweeping conclusions. This is as substandard as you could get!
2/ @LaurenBinDC's defense of @kaari_murungi is that she was not a member of the commission at the time she posted those clearly biased tweets calling for R2P against #Ethiopia.
3/ This is equivalent to claiming that a person with an expressed bias towards one of the parties can still be an impartial juror or even a judge on the case, as long as he made those public pronouncements ahead of the trial. Nonsensical!
4/ Her defense of Ratner, believe it or not, is that he wrote a textbook in the area! This is tantamount to saying one should never question a certain surgeon regardless of the outcome of his operation, just because he wrote a textbook about that specific procedure. Ridiculous!
5/ By the end of her thread I was hard pressed to decide which one was worse, the #IHRCEE 'report' or @LaurenBinDC's 'defense' of the said report?
A hard choice! :)
A hard choice! :)
