Should nations not guaranteeing freedom of thought, conscience and religion be expelled from the UN?

Question

The UN Declaration of Human Rights Article 18 states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief..." Yet there are member nations whose laws criminalize evangelism, and or make conversion from the majority religion to another religion a crime, in some cases punishable by death. Shouldn't we insist that UN member's legal systems uphold the UN Declaration of Human Rights and insist on the expulsion of and international sanctions against those who do not? At the very least they should lose voting rights in the General Assembly and Security Council, as well as any positions of authority. Should any country that violates these most basic human rights have a vote in or authority in the United Nations? What do you think?

The notion that the UN is powerless is nonsense. It controls huge development funds, peacekeeping missions, legitimacy for the actions of members who adhere to the charter and a venue to condemn and take group action against those who don't, though unfortunately the permanent Security Council members are vitually immune.

"The UN is a joke, they let anyone who ha enough money or military might join them no matter what their charter says. they countries with horrible track records on their council."

Let's say that's all true. Is that the way you prefer it remain?

Answer 1

Yes, and severely sanctioned as well.

Answer 2

Im undecided approximately expelling, I recommend, if we start up searching for defects in worldwide places, we'd expel maximum worldwide places out of the UN good? Wouldnt the U. S. be between the 1st, if not the 1st? stable element on the double accepted, so painfully obvious, the double accepted.

Answer 3

Well, I think the idea of keeping such countries as members is the hope the rest of the UN will apply pressure for them to change. Then again, I think of the UN as having less authority and force of will than my second grade teacher Mrs. Parker, who could really put some fear in you.

Answer 4

The UN is a joke, they let anyone who ha enough money or military might join them no matter what their charter says. they countries with horrible track records on their council.
