UN Officials- The UN and UNHRC; MEMBER COUNTRIES OF THE UN

I am a world citizen who is a political junkie; I sometimes do not seem to get it! Could someone try to explain to me how officials who are paid by us, seem to go against the votes passed by the member nations of the World Bodies.

Yesterday Ms. Marie Heuze, spokeswoman for the UN in Geneva said “What happened in the Human Rights Council last week is more than troubling.” She was referring to the votes that Sri Lanka was given by the members, and the EU resolution was completely voted down by the UNHRC by a huge majority. If you count the number of people represented by these countries-it was 5 billion votes for Sri Lanka and 1/2 billion votes against Sri Lanka. What is so troubling for Ms. Heuze? It’s time that these folks who do not understand how DEMOCRACY WORKS should be KICKED OUT of these WORLDS BODIES! TIME WE THE SILENT MAJORITY SPOKE UP!
