Sudan is running uncontested for a seat on the Human Rights Council.
Its security forces are notorious for arbitrary arrests, rape and torture. Just like the UN!

Now, as UN Watch notes, “It’s Official: Genocidal Sudan Running Uncontested for U.N. Human Rights Council Seat.” Word of this, first reported by UN Watch, had been circulating for weeks. The UN General Assembly, which oversees the Human Rights Council, and votes on who fills these seats, had coyly refrained until this past week from posting Sudan’s candidacy on the web site for the Human Rights Council elections. But here it is, the official site, where Sudan now shows up as one of five African nations running for five seats allotted in this election to Africa. In other words, Sudan’s run is uncontested. Unless competition materializes before the election takes place this November, it’s highly likely that Sudan will win a seat on the UN Human Rights Council.
That’s an outrage, rightly condemned as such. It’s an abomination that the government of Sudan might be seated on any council presumed to be associated with human rights.
