April Fools Day was Wednesday, but a story has come to light that sparked a question just in case:

Sadly, no, this isn’t a joke, and it comes with a beverage warning:
BREAKING: #China joins U.N. Human Rights Council panel, where it will help select next world monitors on freedom of speech, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention—and on health. @hillelneuer: "It's like making a pyromaniac into the town fire chief."https://t.co/E2vYfYcNcD pic.twitter.com/1UkF5T4MHU

And yet the U.N. leadership are baffled as to why they’re viewed with derision by so many people?
China has been appointed to an elite United Nations human rights group despite the country's routine abuse of human rights, stifling of free speech, and imprisonment of dissidents.. #Outrageous https://t.co/UXUUT4hDo4

And China, which 'disappears' doctors and forces #Uighurs into concentration camps, has just been appointed to the Consultative Group of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which monitors freedom of speech, arbitrary detention and.. 'disappearances'. https://t.co/Y9w3JGCCyS

Just when you thought the UN Human Rights Council could not get any more depraved, it proves me wrong. https://t.co/pNwcctoEHa

After all this is over and we're reevaluating everything, let's figure out why we're in such a corrupt and dangerous organization, and why we allow it to fester in our country

The U.N. has been covering themselves in as much glory as the mainstream media lately.
