If you're quoting the UN on human rights, you've already lost.

Current members of the UN Human Rights Council:

China Cuba Ghana Nigeria

The UN is the worst institution we have for advancing international human rights, except for all the others.

You should wash your mouth out with soap for misquoting that. The UN is a treaty body, meant for eliminating global conflict.

That's it. It's not a global government. It has no representation from the masses, it has no balanced system of government, it has no executive to speak of.

It's done a great job of preventing WWIII. Let's leave it at that.
