The UN continues to confuse morality with madness as they appoint the prime human rights abusers to oversee an action panel that will heavily influence the UN Human Rights Commission.
Yesterday it was reported that Zimbabwe, Cuba, and China will join this panel. Zimbabwe, Cuba, and China have persistently tried to increase their involvement in the UNHRC to stop any investigations into their own abuses. Placing diplomatic niceties above everything else, the UN sees nothing wrong with this.
Cuba has the largest amount of political prisoners per capita in the world. Reporters without Borders recently called Cuba the "biggest prison for journalists in the world."
The UN is steamrolling it's way towards complete irrelevancy.
I'm yet to find a link for this so you will have to take my word on it for now.
UPDATE
I'm good for my word: A reader (thanks Anti-UN) informs me that there is a link at LGF: Rights abuser Cuba put on action panel.
Hell, the US is opening trade with China - they don't seem very concerned about China's nukes or human rights record.
