Anti-LGBT countries join UN human rights body
Original: Anti-LGBT countries get to guard human rights for the U.N.
Countries that criminalise LGBT people are serving on the United Nations body responsible for guarding human rights worldwide, according to LGBT-focused reporting. Critics say the appointments undermine the credibility of the UN's human rights machinery, since states that persecute sexual minorities are now passing judgment on other countries' records. The situation has renewed calls for reform of how members are selected.
Why now: The perceived contradiction of states hostile to LGBT rights overseeing global human rights protections is drawing criticism.
