MPs from all major parties are calling for Canada to vote against major human rights abusers in their bid for seats on the UN Human Rights Council. The UN will vote Oct. 28 to select 14 countries for the 47-member Human Rights Council. Countries sit on the council for three years, with a crop of seats coming open every year. China, Cuba, Russia and Saudi Arabia all currently sit on the council and are all up for another term.
