Scandalous: Director of HRW showers praise on the representative of the Jordanian monarchy at the UN

"Yet those familiar with his career applauded the choice. “He had all the attributes we wanted,” Kenneth Roth, the Human Rights Watch executive director, remarked of the prince, who has agreed to drop his royal title in his new post. “He is a man of stature and principle with a long and demonstrated commitment to human rights.”"  Would Roth dare shower praise on the representative of a regime that is not a client of the US? Would he have said that if this was a representative of an Iranian or Syrian or Cuban regime?   And what are the attributes you wanted, Roth?  Royal pedigree?
