Once again, the UN shows its ignominy. The Castro dictatorship’s historical and ongoing crimes against humanity and support of terrorism were apparently not enough to keep it off the UN Human Rights Council. The brutally oppressive and murderous communist regime received 146 votes out of 193 nations in the UN, showing the international organization is not only useless, but a stain on humanity.

The Cuban dictatorship did indeed have a reason to celebrate. Their reelection is a victory for tyranny, oppression, and impunity, the very attributes that have helped it remain in power for 64 long years.

To make matters worse, most of the 146 nations who voted to keep Cuba on the Human Rights Council are free and democratic nations who betrayed their own principles to appease and protect a murderous regime. Their support for the Castro dictatorship is not only a blot on their character and integrity (or lack thereof of either), but also a slap in the face of the 11-million Cubans who have suffered for decades under the tyrannical yoke of the Cuban regime.
