UN has done little since the Korean War to investigate or expose human rights violations
The [[United Nations]] issued, in 1948, a [[UDHR|list of human rights]] they deem inherent and inviolable.<ref>http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html</ref> However, a number of [[totalitarian]] regimes continue to violate human rights, even when they have ratified the list. Many organisations and [[NGO]]s such as [[Amnesty International]], [[Human Rights Watch]], and [[Freedom House]] had abysmal records reporting on and exposing human rights violations during the Soviet era.
