Shoved aside : Fiji set to lose top job on UN rights body in global power struggle | World news

The ostensible dispute is over which country gets to set the agenda for the globally influential body next year. However, observers say that at a deeper level it reflects larger powers with chequered human rights records attempting to install a friendly candidate ahead of expected American re-commitment to the council.
