(The US, Australia and South Africa were the only nations that) voted against a resolution on human rights and transnational corporations (TNCs) adopted by the UN Commission on Human Rights (CHR).

Australia has often siding with the US to oppose a resolution that represented by and large an international consensus on an important issue.

More often than not, human rights become an issue for the US and Australia only when they are likely to promote the interests of their businesses, but not otherwise.

This was the case in the resolution supporting the ruling of the International Court of Justice that the construction by Israel of a wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and its associated régime are contrary to international law. Apart from this ocurring innumeral times in the General Assembly the United States has cast its veto 40 times to shield Israel from Security Council draft resolutions that condemned, deplored, denounced, demanded, affirmed, endorsed, called on and urged Israel to obey the world body.
