The United Nations is poorly named. Firstly, the nations of the world are not united and there are some "states" that wouldn't even constitute "nations" in the true sense of the word, Somalia for instance.
The UN Human Rights Council is now taking aim at the United States, perhaps having grown tired of attacking Israel without result for decades. But, since America now has the weakest President since Jimmy Carter, it's attacks may be better utilized against the Great Satan. China, Cuba, Libya and Saudi Arabia are all on the Human Rights Council. Yes, China who has killed millions of its own people out of brutality to maintain the iron grip of the Communist Party. Cuba, which jails and executes political prisoners. Libya which has carried out terrorist attacks against democracies and innocent civilians through it's spy agency and by funding terrorist groups throughout the world. And, of course, Saudi Arabia, that bastion of women's rights and religious tolerance.
Fox News reports: "It will hear, among other things, that the U.S. discriminates against Muslims, that its police are barbaric and that it has been holding political prisoners behind bars for years."
So why does the United States subject itself to such abuse? What is the point of being involved in an organization that serves no useful purpose in maintaining peace, promoting democracy and human rights, and that tolerates true barbarity of nations like China, Libya, Cuba, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia?
The US, and other free countries, should withdraw from this useless organization and establish a League of Democracies that only allows true democratic nations that respect the rights and freedoms of individuals into the club. The UN is a nice idea in theory (much like the USSR's constitution), but in practice it perpetuates tolerance of brutality and despotism by the worst human rights violators in the world as evidenced by who now sits on the UNHRC.

Iran still stones women, yet is a member of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. Enough said, although a lot more can be. It is absolutley surreal that this can happen.
The UN has no moral compass. Why any democracy would want to be a member nowadays is beyond me.
Iran, China, Cuba, North Korea - they all consider themselves to be democracies...
