I disagree. HR council is a lost opportunity. The countries on it are the worst offenders, only there to ensure nothing happens. Couldnt have been worse.

- dragonwriter 6y ago> The countries on it are the worst offenders The HRC is about 1/4 the size of the UN itself in seats, and countries are elected to by regional allocation in staggered 3-year terms for a maximum of two consecutive terms. “The worst offenders” is not a fair description of the current membership [0], or even a dominant faction of the membership, of the Council. There’ve been a couple times in history where the 15 or so countries elected in a single year have included several notably bad actors, and where people have mistaken that group for the whole council rather than about 1/3 of it, but that;s not reality.
