1. Good. It’d be absurd to have them on a council dedicated to freaking human rights.

2. How they were, ever, even part of this group is beyond me

3. Shocking news.

4. A small win for justice.

5. Awfully optimistic and delusional of them to believe that they even had a chance.

6. Now we just need them off the Security Council

7. as much as i agree with supporting ukraine and democratic nations in general, i must criticize the hypocrisy of the west. this is nonsense. human rights don’t exist. at least for non-western people.

   when ukraine was invaded by russia, everyone spoke about human rights but when usa couped the iranian democratic government and replaced it with the shah which led to the islamic regime, no one cared. when israel killed many palestinians civilians, no one condemned israel but when palestinians did the same, everyone condemned it.

   the west is very selective about who deserve human rights. practise what you preach first, then lecture other countries.

8. I can’t believe that they were considering them. 👀

9. Justice prevails

10. Good. Another humiliation for Russia.

11. Remove their voice from the international community:

12. Some good news at least

13. 👏🏼

14. Some good news for today.

15. Some good news for today.

16. Good news and we need some good news.

17. Now remove the US maybe?

18. UN’s credibility index has moved up a little bit. Not much but still good.

19. Terrorist states should not even be allowed into the UN. Russia deserves to be expelled.

20. The utter arrogance. How could they even…

    Oh and before it’s said… I can report my own self on the [USA sucking on human rights just as well as anyone, thanks.](https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2023/country-chapters/united-states)

    Yes, I cherry picked those. I could do all of them, some of which I’d probably say ‘they’re really great!’

    And no, I do NOT want Russia on that council. Nosirmaam. But I’m not sure the council has a good makeup in the first place is all I’m saying.

21. thank Christ

22. Yay.

    Now, kick the Chinese out of it.

23. You should put in Hamas and IRGC while you’re at it

24. Can’t even fathom the thought of them having a seat and if they ACTUALLY got one then you know it’s game over 🙁

25. Yeah…..DUH!!!!! Thank the sensible people who denied this!
