【新唐人2013年11月14日讯】11月12号上午，新一届联合国人权理事会成员国改选结果揭晓，中国、俄罗斯、越南、古巴等，被联合国观察和其他一些国际非政府组织质疑人权记录的国家，高票当选。而人权合格的英、法等国得票率却不高。为什么会出现这样的结果呢？请看以下报导。
在193张有效选票中，越南获得184票，排名第一﹔紧随其后的马其顿获得177票。中国和俄罗斯各获得176票，得票数并列第三，阿尔及利亚和古巴分别得票164张和148张。
被认为人权记录合格的法国和英国，仅获得174票和171票，排在中俄两国后面。
北京维权人士胡佳认为，中共有一套外交、宣传系统，是专门用来屏蔽外界对中国人权指责的。
北京维权人士胡佳：“从世界范围的角度上来讲，中共搞外交维稳，它用钱、用政治利益疏通了很多人权理事会中的那些像非洲国家、中亚国家，这些发展中国家。”
胡佳表示，中共入联合国，只是为了自己的脸面，必要时还能对其他批判中共的国家进行反击。
中国宪政学者陈永苗：“西方世界对中国本身这几十年的所谓的人权进步的一个看法，它是不确定的，有人觉得好，有人的觉得根本是无药可救的，根本就不相信的。”
中国宪政学者陈永苗指出，西方需要了解中国人权状况，重新树立衡量标准。
而总部设在瑞士日内瓦的非政府组织“联合国观察”指出，2014年的联合国人权理事会中，有接近一半成员国，未能达到起码的自由民主标准。“联合国观察”还指出，在这次无记名投票中，中国从欧盟国家至少得到11张票。
“联合国观察”组织说，中国、古巴、俄罗斯、沙乌地阿拉伯、阿尔及利亚、约旦和越南“不够格”。
在选举前，这个组织还发表新闻稿表示，当联合国的最高人权机构变成“狐狸守护鸡窝”的状态时，世界上的受害人将遭殃。
中国人权律师江天勇：“无论从我自己所做案件了解的情况来看，还是我自己遭遇，还是我身边这些朋友的遭遇来看，中国这几年在人权方面极其糟糕。”
中国人权律师江天勇表示，中共在人权的退步表现在两个方面：一是从立法中通过了居民失踪条款、居民身份证法，还有最近两高的司法非法解释﹔二是今年加大了对公民运动的抓捕，最近还加紧了对记者的打压。另外，中共一直也没有放松的对信仰群体的迫害，像对法轮功一抓还是几十人。
另外，总部也在美国的民权团体“公民力量”的发起人杨建利指出，中国此前作为联合国人权理事国的6年间，全世界看到的是，拉萨的3.14事件，乌鲁木齐的7.5事件，非法关押陈光诚事件、抓捕虐待异议艺术家艾未未，和残酷镇压茉莉花行动等等。西藏还发生了100多名藏人不堪北京残暴统治而自焚的事件。
目前在美的山东盲人维权人士陈光诚，11月5号对《美国之音》表示，如果让未经公民投票选举、靠暴力镇压把持国家权力，并且只代表几百个家族组成的利益集团的北京政府，再次进入担任联合国人权理事会，无异于让“盗贼当法官”，让“劫匪当楷模标准”。
胡佳：“作为公民而言，我们不承认共产党的政府是合法政府，因为他没有经过民选。实际上，现在不是中国政府当选，而是中共的统治集团当选为人权理事会的成员。”
胡佳指出：中共只配站在人权审判席上，而不应该进入人权的评判席。
台湾人权律师童文薰指出，现实证明联合国里充斥着利益分赃集团。所有投票中共的国家，都要负起中共继续杀戮的血债责任。

Foxes Guarding the Henhouse: Russia and China Voted onto UN Human Rights Council
On November 12, the UN General Assembly elected new
members to serve on the UN Human Rights Council (HRC).
Countries with questionable human rights records,
including China, Russia, Vietnam and Cuba were
elected after receiving a high number of votes.
However, the UK and France, with qualified human rights
records were elected with lower numbers of votes.
How did this happen?
Let’s take a look.
Out of 193 valid votes, Vietnam had 184 votes, placing
it top of the list, followed by Macedonia with 177 votes.
China and Russia each received 176
votes, placing them third in the category.
Algeria got 164 votes, and Cuba with 148.
The UK and France are considered to be
qualified with their human rights records.
They received 171 and 174 votes, respectively,
placing these countries behind China and Russia.
Beijing Activist Hu Jia says the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) established a system of diplomacy and propaganda.
It is specifically designed to block international
condemnation towards their human rights abuses.
Hu Jia: “Internationally, the CCP
tactically maintains diplomatic stability.
It spends money and uses political interests
to exchange support from UNHRC members.
This includes less developed
countries in Africa and middle Asia.”
Hu Jia says that the purpose of the Chinese regime
joining the UNHRC is only to further its image.
When it is necessary, the CCP can take the chance to
counter attack other countries’ criticism of it’s human rights.
Chen Yongmiao, China based constitutional scholar:
“Western countries’ view on China’s several decades
of so-called human rights improvements are uncertain.
Some of them think China’s human rights is good, some
consider it is hopeless, and simply don’t believe the CCP.”
Chen says that Western countries need
to know China’s human rights situation.
They should establish a new standard of assessment.
Geneva-based NGO UN Watch says that nearly
50% of UNHRC members in 2014 failed to meet
minimum standards for freedom and democracy.
In the secret ballot, China received
at least 11 votes from EU countries.
UN Watch says that China, Cuba, Russia, Saudi Arabia,
Algeria, Jordan and Vietnam are not “qualified”.
Prior to the election, UN Watch published a press release.
It said, “when the UN’s highest human rights
body becomes a case of the foxes guarding
the henhouse, the world’s victims suffer.”
Jiang Tianyong, China-based human rights lawyer:
“Whether I take my point of view from the cases I deal
with, or my own experiences, or from my close friends’
experiences, China’s human rights are extremely bad.”
Jiang says that China’s human
rights have declined in two ways:
Residents’ disappearance and residents’ identification
cards were adopted in law, but the Supreme Procuratorate
and Supreme Court illegally interpreted the regulations.
This year, the regime intensified it’s arresting of
people who participated in democratic protests.
In addition, suppression of journalists has recently increased.
The CCP has never eased it’s persecution
of groups who uphold their faith, such as
the mass arrests of Falun Gong practitioners.
Yang Jianli is the founder of US
based Citizen Power for China.
He says that China has been a member
of the UN HRC for six years in the past.
However, news of various incidents became
international, such as in Lhasa on March 13, 2008.
There was the Urumqi incident on July 5, 2009,
the case of Chen Guangcheng, as well as the
arrest and torture of activist artist Ai Weiwei.
The brutal suppression of the molihua democracy
movement became well known, as did the 100 tibetan
people self-immolating against Beijing’s tyrannical rule.
Blind activist Chen Guangcheng, originally
from Shandong, now lives in the US.
Chen spoke to Voice of America on November 15.
Chen said that without democratic elections, and
the use of suppression to run a country, which only
represents the interests of officials and their families,
the Beijing regime was able to enter the UNHRC again.
It is no different from “letting the thief be the judge”,
or from “letting the robber become a role model.”.
Hu Jia: “Being Chinese citizens, we have never accepted
that the CCP’s regime is a legitimate governing system.
This is because it is not elected by its citizens.
Actually, now it is not the regime being elected, it is the
CCP’s ruling elite being elected as members of the HRC.”
Hu Jia continues, indicating that the CCP shouldn’t be
granted a seat to judge other countries’ human rights.
Instead, it should be the one being judged.
Tong Wenxun, a human rights lawyer in Taiwan says that
this strongly suggests that the UN is filled with corruption.
Countries voting China must take
responsibility for the CCP’s blood debts.
