On March 18, 2014 the UN Human Rights Council discussed the subject "Human rights situations that require the Council's attention". Rights-abusing countries use the UN platform to divert attention away from their own sorry records. China - one of the world's worst human rights abusers and a member of the UN's top human rights body - took this occasion to attack the United States and Europe.
"We are very concerned with politicization and double-standards in the Council ...What is incredible is certain countries are still very keen on open pressure and naming and shaming in the human rights area provoking confrontation and interfering in the internal affairs of other countries in the name of human rights...A moment ago the representatives of the US, EU, UK, Czech and other countries ignored the China situation and the huge progress achieved in the human rights cause and made groundless accusations against China... The systematic racial discrimination in the United States, minority groups rights are often violated, sexual discrimination is also very serious in the States, women's rights are not effectively protected... A lot of European countries have racial discrimination and xenophobia...We advise these countries sincerely that they should reflect and resolve their own human rights issues."
However nonsensical, this typical rant makes a good impression on the majority of UN member states.
