Ban did not so much as complain about Tajikistan’s overuse of river water, though the UN routinely lambastes Israel for supplying “not enough” of her water to Palestinians and Jordanians.
Uzbekistan is the new pariah in the UN. Its autocratic leader, Islam Kerimov, does not allow Iran to spread its influence into his country. The Muslim-dominated UN Human Rights Committee therefore targeted Uzbekistan for its human rights record, which, though far from perfect, is far better than that of other UNHRC members.
