The UN and the Like-Minded Group

India also works to prevent UN interventions on human rights issues through the Like Minded Group (LMG). The LMG, which includes countries like China, India and Pakistan, works to counter the efficiency and work of the Commission on Human Rights. The South Asian Human Rights Documentation Center reported on some of their practices in 2002:
In recent years, the LMG has resorted to a number of tried and tested techniques to hamper the efficiency of the CHR. These include an excessive number of interventions (over 30 percent of State interventions at the 57th session of the CHR were made by the Asian Group alone), promoting superfluous, meaningless and often regressive resolutions and marginalising the work of non governmental organisations (NGOs). These methods were all employed in 2002, although the LMG also enjoyed some unexpected advantages.
