UN's "Farcical" Human Rights Council

Instead, the UNHRC should spare more time in looking into how these core values of its charter are being applied in Saudi Arabia and make sure that, as a co-signatory, the Saudis apply those principles meticulously.

It is an insult to the very name of UNHRC to kowtow to the lectures and design of the Saudis—evidently, the worst violators of human rights, freedom of expression and freedom of religion. The wider Islamic world also violates these basic rights of citizens more often and widely as compared to rest of the world.

It is needless to explain that UNHRC's latest resolution is intended for curbing freedom of expression in Western countries where this fundamental human right is exercised in good measure in the true sense of it—albeit lately stunted by Islamist intimidation, threats of violence and even murder.

Obviously, Islam and Muslims have been on the wrong side of the exercise of freedom of expression in Western countries, mostly for valid reasons. Instead of taking measures to rectify their shortcomings—such as reforming their religious texts and doctrines as well as scrutinizing their behaviors—Muslims have launched a campaign to undermine this basic right of man, established in the West, at the cost of great deal of human blood and sufferings.

The UNHRC has obviously joined hands with the supersensitive and intolerant Muslims to undermine its own central mission. This is a mockery of its own.
