The UNHRC Membership Contest
Posted by Laurence Simon at 02:37 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (13)

Well, the good news is that the horribly corrupt and badly-implemented Commission on Human Rights (aka "Committee of Human Rights Violators") at the United Nations has been abolished. Hooray.

The bad news is that it has been replaced with the equally-corrupt and badly-implemented United Nations Human Rights Council. Boo.

Since y'all have probably been on the edge of your seats with the 65 (since when has it been 65?) picks in March Madness, I figured that there'd be a good idea to hold a contest to predict the 47 nations you think will be on the new UNHRC.

Post your guesses in the comments. Winner will receive a custom set of M&M's that say "I READ IMAO.US" Or something else that says IMAO if it's much funnier, like "IMAO BITES."

Okay, how about some rules?

  • One roster per person, and no changes once you've posted them.

  • If nobody gets all 47, then the roster with the most correct answers will win.

  • Ties will be resolved by a random drawing, because even I couldn't understand the goofy system the World Baseball Classic used.

  • There is no entry fee, so if FrankJ hits you up for five bucks via PayPal for this thing I have no idea what he's talking about. (I'm still getting 20%, right?)

  • In a fight between Aquaman and the United Nations Human Rights Commission, nobody wins.

  • "The Kingdom of Gondor" is not a country, you moron.

  • If you are allergic to candy or diabetic and die from eating these things, it's your own darn fault. We'll bury you with them, okay?

  • People who need more rules than these to handle a simple fun contest will be disqualified.

I originally considered holding a contest to predict who would be the target of their first resolution, but come on... isn't that obvious?

Rating: 2.0/5 (1 vote cast)

Mordor's got a lock on the council chair. And by Mordor I mean France.

#1 - Posted by: crazed_dave on March 23, 2006 03:32 PM

Let me be the FIRST to offer Mordor as the country to lead this commitee as you won't let me use Gondor. Sauron has a spotless record on human rights.

#2 - Posted by: Dan M on March 23, 2006 03:32 PM

You should just give the prize to the first person to actually list 47 countries.

These countries are locks:

"Palestine" (this is the U.N. we're talking about)
Cuba
China
North Korea
Saudi Arabia
Iran
Sudan
Libya
Venezuela
Vietnam
Egypt
Zimbabwe
all countries ending in "stan" (this gets me to 47, doesn't it?)

#3 - Posted by: Master Shake on March 23, 2006 03:47 PM

Rwanda
Burundi
Algeria

Canada (they love to put Canada on these commissions, even if Canada isn't big on human rights violations)
Austria (in honor of Kurt Waldheim)
Russia
Colombia
Norway (same reason as Canada)
Mali (home of Timbuktu!)
Tanzania (I have no idea)
Angola (I still have no idea)
Uganda (in loving memory of Idi Amin)
Jamaica (in loving memory of Michael Manley)
Serbia (in loving memory of Slobodan Milosevic)
Paraguay (one of two land-locked South American countries)
Bolivia (the other)
Trinidad & Tobago (run by drug lords)
El Salvador (because I need a 47th country)

SVJim,

I'm glad to see you put Cambodia on there, especially with the tragic passing of that great humanitarian Pol Pot (shouldn't that be the name of a left-wing blog?)
