The UN General Assembly on Oct 11 concluded its election for 14 new members in the Human Rights Council.
Delegates have chosen a conclave of candidates who sit in sombre judgement of global freedoms and virtues, though ironically, many of these new members selected are actually among the very abusers and rights violators the council is presumably monitoring.
We are speaking about countries ranging from China, Cuba and Eritrea, to Sudan, Uzbekistan and Venezuela. You get the picture. In balance there are members such as the USA, France, Poland and South Korea.
