Note
Among the friends of the new UN Human Rights Council is Nepal - ranked amongst the least free countries in the world by Freedom House. The most recent State Department Report on Nepal for 2005 says: "The government's poor human rights record worsened and the government continued to commit many serious abuses, both during and after the state of emergency that suspended all fundamental rights except for habeas corpus. Members of the security forces and the Maoist insurgents committed numerous grave human rights abuses during the year."
