The joke that's not funny any more

From WorldNetDaily:

Communist North Korea is the world's worst persecutor of Christians, according to an annual ranking by the evangelical mission group Open Doors International.

The group's World Watch List places Saudi Arabia in the second spot, followed in order by Vietnam, Laos, Iran, Maldives, Somalia, Bhutan, China and Afghanistan.

North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Communist China and Bhutan are all members of the UN Commission on Human Rights. Also a member is the African nation of Eritrea, which has recently begun to target Christians in an effort to drive them out of their country.

The body being given the job of addressing human rights violations has as its members the worst violators of human rights -- and we naively participate in that commission as well as the organization itself. Why?
