I’m not going to argue against that the UN has been used by the permanent Security Council members to push their political agenda.
But, you’re making the claim here that the convention on human rights was a tool to influence nations in a faux-democratic way. Could you tell me what in the human rights convention makes the world a less democratic place? And why is it bad to have some framework in place that for example covers the human rights abuses China is comitting against the uighurs? And what would be the alternative, just letting countries violate minorities who pray for other countries to do something?
Because, again, we’re talking about China here, a permanent member of the Security Council. It’s supposed to uphold these values of human rights across the world, but it violates them instead because it wants to, is that not something other countries should condemn then?
