UN Appoints China To Human Rights Panel

U.N. gives Communist China seat on Human Rights Panel that identifies free speech threats

The United Nations has appointed China, arguably the world’s most oppressive authoritarian regime, to help lead a “Human Rights” panel that exists to, get this, identify threats to freedom of speech.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will now be tasked with uncovering which countries are carrying out “enforced disappearances” and “arbitrary detention” of citizens, which is exactly what is happening in communist China!

According to the U.N., China will “have a say in selecting at least 17 U.N. human rights ‘mandate-holders’ over the next year.” China “will also assist in screening candidates for U.N. human rights positions,” the globalist body indicated.

News of the appointment caught the attention of many human rights activists who are now scratching their heads trying to figure out if this is some kind of joke. U.N. Watch, for instance, called out the U.N. for basically making a mockery of itself with this strange decision.

“It’s absurd and immoral for the U.N. to allow China’s oppressive government a key role in selecting officials who shape international human rights standards and report on violations worldwide,” stated the executive director of U.N. Watch, which was the first to report on China’s appointment to the panel.

“Allowing China’s oppressive and inhumane regime to choose the world investigators on freedom of speech, arbitrary detention and enforced disappearances is like making a pyromaniac into the town fire chief.”

The timing of the appointment is further strange in that communist China is the subject of international inquiry due to its mishandling of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.

Perhaps most prominently, the United States is actively looking into why China allowed the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) to spread so quickly and rampantly within its borders without taking steps to curb it. There are also serious questions about China’s official death count numbers, which appear to be drastically too low.
