Contain your excitement: the UN’s new Human Rights Council has been elected. And a rum bunch they are too. The EU Referendum blog has commentary, indignation and everything else needed to put you in a thoroughly bad mood.

Among the nations selected: Saudi Arabia, Cuba, and China. Check out too the details of the Swiss gentleman who will serve on the UN Subcommission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights, whatever that might be. They make interesting reading.

The UN”s Human Rights Commissioner, Louise Arbour (readers may remember her unhelpful intervention during the Danish cartoon affair) has, as one might expect, welcomed the election of this sleazy and hypocritical bunch of thugs, thieves and tyrants, and the enablers who make their lives so easy.

Delightful.
