The UN Human Rights Council demands the death of free speech

The United Nations Human Rights Council is now demanding that all countries abandon free speech and free expression and create and enforce blasphemy laws. This is not a surprise, though, because there is nothing the U.N. Human Rights Council hates more than human rights.
The Human Rights Council voted to approve a resolution demanding that countries “address, prevent and prosecute acts and advocacy of religious hatred” in response to two men in Sweden tearing pages out of a Quran and lighting it on fire. Pakistan’s U.N. envoy said that “The opposition of a few in the room has emanated from their unwillingness to condemn the public desecration of the holy Qur’an.”
WHO WAS THE REAL J. ROBERT OPPENHEIMER?
That is not true.
But, Pakistan is unable to fathom that you can indeed condemn the “public desecration” of the Quran without sentencing anyone to death, which is Pakistan’s idea of “prosecuting acts and advocacy of religious hatred.” Pakistan has already handed out multiple death sentences for blasphemy this year, which you would think is in direct conflict with the U.N.’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which says that “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression.”
But the United Nations does not actually care about human rights, which is evident based on who the body allows to sit on the Human Rights Council. That includes Pakistan and its death sentences for blasphemy, but it also includes Communist Cuba. Qatar also sits on the council after using slave labor to build World Cup stadiums.
Somalia and Sudan have been singled out by the United Nations itself for human trafficking and “forced commercial sexual exploitation.” In fact, the Human Rights Council even held a special session on “The human rights impact of the ongoing conflict in the Sudan” in May. Both still sit on the Human Rights Council.
Russia was also given the green light to sit on the council up until it invaded Ukraine. And, of course, a “human rights council” would not be complete without the genocidal Chinese Communist Party, which has been a member for nine of the last ten years.

The Human Rights Council is a sham.
It is just another way the United Nations empowers and rewards authoritarian regimes for “engaging” with the international community or some such nonsense. Allowing authoritarians to demand that countries deprive people of their rights to free speech and free expression is simply par for the course for the corrupt, anti-freedom bureaucrats at the United Nations.
