I cannot understand why the democracies stand for (and pay for) this charade, so brilliantly highlighted by Hillel Neuer. Why are countries that have absented themselves from the UDHR (viz. ALL the OIC countries that signed the Cairo Declaration), allowed on the UNHRC in the first place?

It is not as if this council is merely a waste of time, it is actually doing positive damage by emboldening those who spit on it. Tolerance of bad behaviour never did anyone any good: the brat, his family nor his community.
