The irony
I breaking my old decision not to right about the UN Human Rights Mockery Council, I simply can’t resist the irony:
Switzerland’s Jean Ziegler has been appointed to a United Nations advisory body for human rights.
He won most votes for the seat designated for western countries at a meeting of the UN Human Rights Council in the Swiss city of Geneva.
[...]
Ziegler has been criticized for supporting authoritarian leaders in developing countries.
I love the euphemism of calling murderous dictators “authoritarian leaders”, it stand in the grand tradition of the UN.
