U.N. General Assembly Election of Human Rights Abusers to ECOSOC
The U.N. General Assembly elected countries with records of human rights abuses to the Economic and Social Council, including China. U.N. Watch criticized the election, calling it a moral outrage. China's election was particularly controversial on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. The Chinese government has tried to erase the memory of the massacre and continues to suppress any mention of it.
