Would Congress and president Trump have the stomach to finally leave the United Nations? Here's just one more reason to leave that cesspool: as Hillel Neuer of UN Watch noted bitterly, look at the list of the some of the new members of the UN Human Rights Council:
Yup. Bangladesh, Burundi, China, Cuba, Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela now sit on the council that is supposed to be “an inter-governmental body within the United Nations system responsible for strengthening the promotion and protection of human rights around the globe and for addressing situations of human rights violations and make recommendations on them.”
As the UN states of the UNHRC, “The membership shall be based on equitable geographical distribution, and seats shall be distributed as follows among regional groups: Group of African States (13), Group of Asia-Pacific States (13), Group of Eastern European States (6), Group of Latin American and Caribbean States (, Group of Western European and other States (7).
Founded in 2006, by 2015, Israel had been condemned in 62 resolutions by the UNHRC, more than the rest of the world combined. That shouldn’t have been surprising, since the council voted on June 30, 2006 to make a review of alleged human rights abuses by Israel a permanent feature of every council session. Israel has never been a member of the UNHRC.
Yet some of the most repressive countries on the face of the earth sit on the council. Here is a complete list of the current members and the year their terms will expire:
The current members of the UN Human Rights Council are listed below: try and count the countries that truly believe in human rights:
Albania 2017 Bangladesh 2017 Belgium 2018 Bolivia (Plurinational State of) 2017 Botswana 2017 Brazil 2019 Burundi 2018 China 2019 Congo 2017 Côte d’Ivoire 2018 Croatia 2019 Cuba 2019 Ecuador 2018 El Salvador 2017 Ethiopia 2018 Georgia 2018 Germany 2018 Ghana 2017 Hungary 2019 India 2017 Indonesia 2017 Iraq 2019 Japan 2019 Kenya 2018 Kyrgyzstan 2018 Latvia 2017 Mongolia 2018 Netherlands 2017 Nigeria 2017 Panama 2018 Paraguay 2017 Philippines 2018 Portugal 2017 Qatar 2017 Republic of Korea 2018 Rwanda 2019 Saudi Arabia 2019 Slovenia 2018 South Africa 2019 Switzerland 2018 Togo 2018 Tunisia 2019 United Arab Emirates 2018 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 2019 United States of America 2019 Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of)
