Well, today the United Nations is expected to appoint five serial human rights abusers to its Human Rights Council – and there will be barely a murmur of protest.
China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Cuba will all take their place on the 47-nation council from which they will lecture the rest of the world on human rights.
As of today, democracies like Australia must answer to a Communist State, an Islamic theocracy, a Marxist–Leninist socialist state and a nation ruled by an autocrat thug for the way in which we treat people.
China will be rewarded for detaining more than a million of its citizens in extrajudicial internment camps designed to erase religious and ethnic identities by being asked to adjudicate on human rights abuses in other nations.
Has the United Nations already forgotten about China’s role in – by which I mean total responsibility for – coronavirus? Have UN representatives never heard of Tibet or Hong Kong or Taiwan?
It takes a special kind of cognitive dissonance to take the nation that might be voted worst human rights abuser and instead vote for them to police human rights.
Why don’t we appoint arsonists to the fire brigade, gang members to the police force and paedophiles to teachers unions?
The enemy have us surrounded. Good! Now we know where to find the bastards! -various
