Can Canada Be Far Behind?

"WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) - In an attempt to further distance itself from the U.N. Human Rights Council, the United States said on Friday it would only engage the body when there was an issue of "deep national interest."

"Diplomatic sources said the United States had quietly informed Western allies on Friday of its intention to walk away from the council.

"They said they were going to disengage totally," said one representative of a rights watchdog group."

Will David Emerson make the announcement?

Harper won't. Not on this file. So my bet would be on someone who isn't going to run next time.
