Maybe the member states should have the right opinions before they get a vote?
The trouble with free elections is: They're free.
A better solution, IMHO, is majority rule with minority rights, but I understand such suggestions from such sources aren't too popular around the world now either. Fortunately China is around to offer a superior alternative.

Pretty appalling, but also rather unsurprising on who voted which way. *NM*

As noted, the difference is we don't execute people for it, nor condone those who do.

It was the inference at a continent level, that I felt was very simplistic.

Generalizations are inherently simplified; that doesn't make them inaccurate.

In practice it usually means they use non-offensive meaningless euphemisms lest someone object.

Of course not, it's a legitimate rhetorical device if not used (or taken) literally.
