U.N. Human Rights Council members today include:
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
🇵🇰 Pakistan
🇸🇴 Somalia
🇳🇬 Nigeria
🇶🇦 Qatar
🇪🇬 Egypt
🇨🇺 Cuba
🇨🇳 China

Joining on January 1, 2020:
🇻🇪 Venezuela (Maduro regime)
🇲🇷 Mauritania
🇸🇩 Sudan
🇱🇾 Libya

I wish I were making this up. I'm not. This is real.
"Dictators on the council will continue to ensure that most of the world’s worst abusers enjoy impunity. Violators like China, Cuba & Saudi Arabia have never been the object of a single resolution, urgent session or commission of inquiry."

My latest: nypost.com/2019/10/18/ano…
Dictators will appoint more scoundrels like Jean Ziegler—the longest-serving council official—who defends the Maduro regime. In 1989 he co-founded the Qaddafi Human Rights Prize, awarded to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan and, in 2002, to Ziegler himself.

As the U.N. today elects slave state Mauritania to its Human Rights Council, I share this:

1. "Mr. President, people around the world ask: 'Why does a human rights council include so many non-democracies?' Defenders of the system have a ready reply: “We need a big tent...”
2. “We need a big tent,” they say, “so that countries with poor records can engage, learn and improve.” Well, perhaps nations with spotty records, who actually wish to make progress, can be embraced & given technical cooperation, for example, to train their judges or police..."
3. "But does the UN have to keep electing the world’s worst abusers, dictatorships whose only intent is to win a false badge of international legitimacy?"

Meet #Mauritania, to be elected tomorrow to the U.N. Human Rights Council:

SLAVERY IN MAURITANIA
Population: 3.4 million
Enslaved population: 340,000 to 680,000 (10%-20%)
Year slavery was abolished: 1981
Year slavery became a crime: 2007
Convictions against slave owners: One
@UNHumanRights .@CNN: “An estimated 10% to 20% of Mauritania’s 3.4 million people are enslaved — in 'real slavery,' according to the UN special rapporteur on slavery. The country is slavery’s last stronghold.”

edition.cnn.com/interactive/20…
@UNHumanRights @CNN "Human bondage is a moral outrage. All decent people should see its victims as their own brothers, sisters, and children, and act to rescue them. It is time for human rights groups to focus on freeing Africa’s slaves."

Ten reasons why it matters when dictators are elected to the U.N. Human Rights Council:

1. Tyrannies use their UNHRC seat as false badges of international legitimacy — to legitimize their unelected regimes, cover up their crimes, and demoralize human rights dissidents at home.
2. When dictators dominate, the UNHRC appoint officials like Alfred de Zayas, who visited Venezuela only to post propaganda photos denying mass hunger caused by the regime’s failed policies — even as hospitals there are filled with starving children.

3. Dictators name folks like Idriss Jazairy—who as Algerian ambassador drafted a Code of Conduct to muzzle UN human rights experts—to be a UN human rights expert himself. He has painted the regimes of Russia, Sudan & Syria as victims of Western sanctions.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you very much. Mr. President, Mr. Secretary-General, distinguished delegates, ambassadors, and world leaders:
@WhiteHouse Seven decades of history have passed through this hall, in all of their richness and drama. Where I stand, the world has heard from presidents and premiers at the height of the Cold War. We have seen the foundation of nations. We have seen the ringleaders of revolution.
