The UN is not the authority on human rights. It's just a weak, ineffective political body that represents no one in particular. Certainly not me nor you.

From the U.S. constitution: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Since I am not a US citizen, the US constitution doesn't really matter to me. The UN, as the only global body we have, does matter so.

There is a word for unelected groups that have power over you. The word is tyranny.

The UN has no power. It is not an elected Congress nor does it have sovereign authority of any kind. It has every country in it, even those that routinely abuse human rights. It is purely intended as a preventative body for war. It's not even great at that.
