But look on the bright side, at least it wasn’t Sudan, Syria or Saudi Arabia.
I’m coming around to the opinion that we should do everything possible to keep the UN Human Rights Council around. Not only is it the greatest source of irony since fish in a blacksmith shop, but it’s also a living reminder that the United Nations is to human rights as an exploding train is to transportation safety.
The UN Human Rights Council met today in Geneva and elected Mauritania as its Vice-President and Rapporteur for the next year, the second highest position at the world’s top human rights body.
“It is obscene for the U.N. to use the occasion of Human Rights Day, when we commemorate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to elect the world’s worst enabler of slavery to this prestigious post,” said Hillel Neuer, UN Watch executive director.
“The U.N. is making an arsonist head of the fire department. It defies both morality and common sense.”
According to a recent report by the Guardian, “up to 800,000 people in a nation of 3.5 million remain chattels,” with power and wealth overwhelmingly concentrated among lighter-skinned Moors, “leaving slave-descended darker-skinned Moors and black Africans on the edges of society.”
UN Watch expressed regret that while the dictatorship of Belarus took the floor in today’s meeting to criticize the election of Poland, none of the democracies said a word about the election of Mauritania or Ecuador.

DOD would prefer you be banned for the Internet for posting this “hate.” Don’t talk about Muslim slavery and don’t talk about their child sex abuse, either. Shhhh! It’s the religion of piece!
Leftists applaud! This is their kind of country!
Not “unexpected”at all! Get the U.S. out of the UN and the UN out of the U.S. Withdraw our ambassador, vapid as she is and cut off their damn money.
One more reason for:
UN OUT OF AMERICA AND AMERICA OUT OF UN!!!!
What are we to make of an organization, in which the racist butcher Robert Mugabe gets the same vote as the country of Japan?
Jeez. slavery’s already technically been illegal in Mauritiana for four years now!
They should. The UN is their model of what they want the world to be. When Joe Biden said that Republicans want to put black people back in chains he was just projecting his own agenda on them.

But the media will never say that non-Whites hold slaves! That would make it harder for them to condemn Whites as racist.
It just shows what a fake organization the UN really is.
That we still maintain membership in it also shows what fake ideals we subscribe to.
The Black Racists and White Guilt Liberals in this country are too busy trying to lynch George Zimmerman to worry about Blacks in Africa being held as slaves by Black/Muslims
Mauritania has only “officially” outlawed slavery since 1980...but like in other African countries...slavery still goes on
Slavery still goes on in Haiti, too....go look up what a “Restevek” is...and ask why Black Racists in this country refuse to discuss that
A big reason for the craziness in the world today is that control of pop culture and the information most of the world sees is in the hands of dogmatic idiots who think they are smarter or more compassionate than the rest of the world. This describes a fairly large chunk of the entertainment industry, and the news media. Does anyone here doubt that with the right combination of movie themes and MSM news stories just about any idea or concept could be characterized and sold as modern and intelligent, leading to acceptance by a large number of people?

Exactly. Along this line, why do Conservatives shy away from going into these fields of information and influence. The folks with the megaphone outshout us and win every time.
Not to panic, God is still in control
