You've got some of the worst human rights offenders sitting on that council, presumably in judgement of other countries like Australia.
China ruthlessly suppresses human rights, executes more people than any other country, illegally harvests human organs, the list goes on and on.
Saudi Arabia publicly beheads people, women have little or no rights, and freedom of religion is not tolerated.
And so on.
How pathetic, we should withdraw immediately from the UN, all treaties etc. and do our own thing.
