If you were trying to put together a global all-star team of the most authoritarian, human rights abusing nations on earth, not only would Saudi Arabia be at the top of the list, it would be captain of the squad.

In a move as embarrassing, laughable and tragic as Barack Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize just as he was about to embark upon several overseas wars and drone countless civilians to death without due process, the United Nations has, remarkably, named Saudi Arabia head of it’s human rights panel.

Of course, this is something I warned of back in May in the post, Saudi Arabia is Making a Play to Head the U.N. Human Rights Council. Here are a few excerpts:

Just barely edged out the ishole caliphate, as it won't be recognized until next year.

Does this mean I can finally throw acid on my whore daughter?

Only if she goes full sllut and shows her elbow.

Got a laugh from that one. They are probably pissed off now.

IIRC, Syria once served as head of that committee too.
