UN members voted to add China to the Human Rights Council this week. Russia made it in too but they drew the line at Saudi Arabia.

Apparently China's resume of hi-tech citizen monitoring, destroying dissenters, history of population control, and persecuting ethnic groups on a large scale was enough to make the prestigious group!

Not sure about you, but I'll be ready when it is time to get off this merry-go-round!

We seldom agree, but on this we do. The Chinese government does not deserve to weigh in on human rights until they actually start practicing it.

Same for Russia.

Sadly the UN is toothless and I suppose this is motivated more by economic concerns than an actual respect for human rights.
 
Can anyone explain to me why we don’t have proportional representation in the UN?
Why should America’s vote in the UN count 4X as much as China’s per capita?

Anyone who takes anything the UN does seriously needs a free mental check up. The only things the UN are good at is illegal parking, hookers and drugs, not to mention lavish parties paid by member states.
