Last week, China was appointed to a seat on the Consultative Group of the United Nations Human Rights Council. Jiang Duan, an official at the Chinese Mission in Geneva, was nominated and confirmed by the Asia regional grouping and will hold the seat until March 2021. The appointment places China on an influential panel that oversees candidate recommendations for UN human rights experts

The councils mandate is to promote and protect human rights around the world, particularly through the mechanisms of the Universal Periodic Review, which examines the human rights performance of all UN members; the advisory committee; the complaints procedure; and the special procedures, which empower the UNHRC to gather expert observations and advice on human rights issues with either country-specific or thematic mandates.

The panel consists of five ambassadors, each representing the five UN regional groups, and facilitates the appointment of experts on issues of freedom of speech and religion; water and sanitation; housing; food; health; poverty

So is the UN actively trying to become a joke, or is this just happening naturally?

Honest question, what would happen if someone just let loose and showed everyone the concentration camps and shambling skeletons in China, while streaming it on the web?

No one would care

Everyone knows what China is doing and no one stops them

Nobody would actually do anything to fix it other than a bunch of half assed social media hashtags and empty promises from our elected officials

They have nukes and around 1.5 billion people. No one can stop them even if they had the balls to try.

The point is to attempt to bring the UN to the front of the internet so fringe groups pay attention and take action for 5 minutes.
wowsers and then we can have an ineffective Facebook profile picture campaign!

Everyone already knows the UN is useless bullshit. Nobody cares.

IMO the problem isn't China, it's Jinping.

China has been oppressive for decades.

The entire CCP needs to be ripped out and burned to the ground. Root and stem.

China soon.

"The USA is a disgrace. They imprison so many of their own citizens!"

Also China:

*Imprisons religious and cultural minorities and murders political dissidents*

Our system is broke. Theirs is deliberate genocide and tyranny.

Anti-Chinese sentiment rarely bothers to distinguish between regime and state, between party and people.

You people need to make up your minds. Either the UN is totally ineffectual and these games of bureaucratic musical chairs are just a meaningless charade, or it's important and this stuff matters because these are positions of global responsibility that need to be protected against corruption and exploitation.

Which is it?
