UN Human Rights Commission Member Bombing Civilians in Sudan

The Sudanese military is, once again, bombing civilians in Darfur. Sudan is a member of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. Will somebody remind the U.N. enthusiasts about these two facts, please.

Reuters:

"After a halt in the bombing between the beginning of February and the end of April in 2007, the Sudanese government has resumed bombing in Darfur," [U.S. envoy Andrew] Natsios said.

"This should end and the ceasefire that was agreed to sometime ago should be respected. We urge the Sudanese government to end all bombing in Darfur immediately," he said. ....

Natsios also said the United States was disturbed by reports that the Sudanese government was deliberately trying to change Darfur's demography by settling non-Sudanese Arab tribes there.

In layman's terms, that last paragraph is about ethnic cleansing.
