While ignoring human rights violations affecting billions around the world, the UN General Assembly found time to adopt a resolution on the pressing issue of "the benefits of practicing yoga."
On December 11, 2014 the Assembly adopted a resolution entitled "International Day of Yoga." Terror-sponsor Qatar praised "the health benefits of that practice." Human rights abuser Sri Lanka was thrilled with yoga's "holistic effect" and also warned about western states "diluting" "the intrinsic beauty of yoga".
Ironically, the resolution was hailed as promoting "clarity of vision and action." The 2014 UN General Assembly will not be adopting one resolution warning about clear human rights violations, for instance, in China, Russia, or Saudi Arabia.
