The UN Human Rights Council edition:

China remains untouchable by the UN Human Rights Council, with Beijing to emerge unscathed from the current session despite widespread criticism of its crackdown in Tibet, activists and diplomats say.

The Council, which ends its four-week long session on Friday, will begin adopting a series of resolutions on Thursday, none of which will mention the situation in Tibet.

Although the Council held special sessions on small countries such as Israel and Myanmar, Beijing evaded any special attention to its response to the protests against Chinese rule in Tibet that have left, according to Tibet’s government-in-exile, some 140 people dead.

The full AFP article goes into more sickening detail on how China escaped untouched of criticism during some of the most visible sights of oppression in recent memory.
