#THREAD! @hrw& #39;s take ahead of UN Human Rights Council elections in General Assembly on Oct 13. Most candidates assured victory because of almost no competition.

#Russia is running for UN #HRC seat in Oct 13 vote. For years it& #39;s helped #Syria gov& #39;t w/ ops that kill civilians & destroy hospitals in violation of international law.
15 UNSC vetoes to protect Assad gov& #39;t.
@hrw urges states to remember that Oct 13.

#Cuba is running for #HRC seat on Oct 13. It& #39;s used past HRC stints to protect fellow rights-abusing governments like #Venezuela from scrutiny.
@hrw says: Remember that on Oct 13!

We don& #39;t like rights abusers getting elected to #HRC.
@hrw: "The most abusive governments have been unable to stop the council from shining a light on rights violations around the world, though not for lack of trying. That’s grounds for hope.”
