Yes, quite a shocker brought to you by the same organization that bestowed the Peace Prize upon a man who talked a good game. One who in truth has continued, expanded upon and mechanized the wars attributed to war criminals Bush/Cheney. I suppose civilian deaths by drone are not taken into account either?
Not to mention the expansion of the continued erosion of the rights of his own citizens by way of the former war criminals "Patriot Act", NSA, Homeland Security and any number of Black Ops being funded by taxpayer dollars at any given time . The very same war criminals in fact that many nations wish to imprison for their crimes against humanity. But Obama gets the Peace Prize and his killing spree continues without so much as a peep from said organization.
Nope it makes absolute sense......

United Nations Farce: Saudi Arabia to Head UN Human Rights Council
Article 55 of United Nations Charter includes: “Universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion.”
In diametrical opposition to these fine founding aspirations, the UN has appointed Saudi Arabia’s envoy to the United Nations Human Rights Council to head (or should that be “behead”) an influential human rights panel. The appointment was seemingly made in June, but only came to light on 17th September, due to documents obtained by UN Watch (1.)
… Mr Faisal Bin Hassan Trad, Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador at the UN in Geneva, was elected as Chair of a panel of independent experts on the UN Human Rights Council.Such experts are often described as the “crown jewels” of the HRC, according to UN Watch.
As head of a five-strong group of diplomats, the influential role would give Mr Trad the power to select applicants from around the world for scores of expert roles in countries where the UN has a mandate on human rights.
The “crown jewels” have been handed to a country with one of the worst human rights records in the world. Saudi Arabia will head a Consultative Group of five Ambassadors empowered to select applicants globally for more than seventy seven positions to deal with human rights violations and mandates.
In a spectacular new low for even a UN whose former Secretary General, Kofi Annan, took eighteen months to admit publicly that the 2003 invasion of, bombardment and near destruction of Iraq was illegal, UN Watch points out that the UN has chosen: “a country that has beheaded more people this year than ISIS to be head of a key Human Rights panel …” (2)
In May, just prior to the appointment, the Saudi government advertised for eight extra executioners to: “ … carry out an increasing number of death sentences, which are usually beheadings, carried out in public” (3.)
Seemingly: “no special qualifications are needed.” The main function would be executing, but job description: “also involves performing amputations …”
The advert was posted on the website of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of the Civil Service.
