It doesn't surprise me considering they're allowed to have their own version of Human Rights according to Sharia - I have stopped giving a shit about the UN since 5 years ago and I secretly wish all of its members died from a random heart attack.

A muslim theocrat is in charge on Human Rights at the UN? What the fuck? I realize that for some reason Saudi arabia is our ally, but they couldn't find a guy from Sweden, Denmark, or some other nice country?

The reason they're our allies is oil. I suspect this is just another showy appeasement to our Noble Saudi Friends. Gotta keep dat black gold flowing -.-

Perhaps Saudi bribed their way to the United Nations humans rights panel? That's a favourite tactic of the Gulf countries. These same countries block the United Nations from defining terrorism. It's disgusting.

And people wonder why I'm so goddamn cynical.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

And there goes some more of my faith in humanity. I didn't have a whole lot left, but I had some. Now I'm not sure...

This is almost literally unbelievable. How can this actually be real?  Sad

The UN continues to make itself more and more of an irrelevancy.
