26 Nov 2023 – The West voted against the rest of the world on United Nations General Assembly resolutions opposing democracy, human rights, and cultural diversity, while supporting mercenaries and unilateral coercive measures (sanctions).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Western governments frequently claim that their foreign and domestic policies are motivated by \u201chuman rights\u201d and \u201cdemocracy\u201d. They often even lecture their adversaries for purportedly failing to respect these concerns.<\/p>\n

But on the international stage, Western capitals have shown their commitments to be merely rhetorical, as they have consistently voted against these noble causes and refused to support measures that would tangibly protect them, in flagrant violation of the will of the vast majority of the international community.<\/p>\n

These stark double standards were on display on November 7 in the meeting of the United Nations General Assembly\u2019s Third Committee<\/a>, which is devoted to social, humanitarian, and cultural issues.<\/p>\n
