CNS NEWS: U.N. Watch, a human rights advocacy group that recently brought Venezuelan dissidents to testify before the U.N. Human Rights Council, decried the fact so many democracies had evidently voted in favor of Venezuela. “It’s an outrage that at least 16 of 28 E.U. states today empowered and legitimized a repressive government that openly sides with the murderous Syrian regime,” said executive director Hillel Neuer. “Under the U.N. Charter, candidates to the Security Council must be those who have contributed to international peace and security,” he said. “Yet Venezuela is notorious as the only country at the UN Human Rights Council last year to vote against holding Syria accountable, effectively backing its mass murder of 200,000 people. So the E.U. knows exactly what Venezuela will do with its U.N. vote.”
