Some of the world’s worst human rights violators have now been placed in charge of protecting the world’s human rights.
China, Russia, Cuba and Pakistan are among the 15 countries that have won seats on the UN Human Rights Council in a secret-ballot of the 193-member UN General Assembly.

The US has expressed its disgust over this monstrous travesty of human rights, with the Trump administration pulling out of the council altogether in 2018.
To their shame, Britain and the EU remain silent about its intrinsic moral bankruptcy and continue to lend it authority and implicit approval by remaining members.
The UK and France are now to take their places on the council once again, with Britain’s Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab having refused to say whether the UK would support China in the vote.

It’s high time to acknowledge the failure of the original ideal and why it has failed.
What’s needed instead is a United Democratic Nations.
Such an organisation would command more respect than a trans-national institution founded on the mistaken belief that tyrannies and free societies can be bound together for mutual advantage.
The UN was created as a result of the shattering impact of the Second World War. It was founded on a starry-eyed belief in the brotherhood of man.
But if a lion lies down with a lamb, the lion doesn’t turn vegan.
The lamb gets eaten.
