UNITED NATIONS - Angered at being targeted by the United States for its poor human rights record, Belarus hit back with a resolution accusing the U.S. government of disenfranchising voters, abusing prisoners and other rights violations.

Last week, the United States introduced a resolution in the General Assembly's human rights committee attacking electoral violations in Belarus' recent presidential election and harassment of the political opposition. Belarus countered with a rival draft attacking the United States.

It was a clash between the world's lone superpower and a former Soviet republic whose authoritarian president, Alexander Lukashenko, has been in power since 1994 and has been branded Europe's last dictator.

By Thursday evening, both draft resolutions were dead, and Belarus was claiming victory. <snip>
