The United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) has become notorious for opposing basic human rights and siding with communist nations and dictatorships since so many of these countries have been allowed a seat on the council.
The latest example of the council’s flippancy toward human rights came this weekend when delegates from Cuba delivered a statement praising China’s adoption of a national security law imposed on Hong Kong. The United Kingdom offered a statement condemning China’s new law. As has come to be expected with the HRC, which allowed China to join its ranks on April 1 of this year, the council overwhelmingly supported Cuba’s statement praising China’s actions toward Hong Kong. In total, 53 countries ended up backing China’s new law while 27 condemned it.
