Today the UN Human Rights Council had a chance to hear a witness on actual slavery happening in 2020. Its members banged on tables and talked over the guy until the session was over. It took him 13 minutes to read a 90-second statement https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2020/07/03/u-n-human-rights-council-silences-cuban-dissident-condemning-modern-day-slavery/">https://www.breitbart.com/national-...
U.N. Human Rights Council Silences Dissident on Human Trafficking

Ariel Ruiz Urquiola, a Cuban biologist, failed to complete a statement before the Human Rights Council after rogue states intervened.

Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China, and Eritrea (also a communist dictatorship, TIL) did everything in their power to make it impossible for the Human Rights Council to hear a statement on human rights violations.
I don& #39;t think I have ever seen anyone embarrass the UN Human Rights Council quite like Ariel Ruiz Urquiola. What a brave and extraordinary soul. And all he did was calmly get through a short statement!
In conclusion, defund the UN.
