More Proof The UN Is A Sick, Cruel Joke

Actually, the time was a very, very long time ago, but, hey, now's as good a time as then.

Despite appeals by numerous advocacy groups for member states to reject the candidacies of incumbents Cuba, China, Saudi Arabia and Russia, all retained their seats without difficulty.

“U.S. membership will not change this grim reality – it will only legitimize the council’s anti-freedom, anti-U.S., anti-Israel actions.”

The Free World really shouldn't have anything to do with this grouping. It only legitimizes regimes which don't respect human rights and have no plans to do so, ever.
