Remove the Organization of the Islamic Conference From the UN Human Rights Council

The UN Human Rights Council is supposed to be a body that represents the rights of all persons on this planet, with states acting as representatives.  It is not supposed to be an organization whose values can be undermined and ignored by the very nations who are committing the worst of Human Rights Violations.

The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is a body of 57 predominantly Islamic nations who do nothing but block human rights legislation, accuse other nations of bias or racism when it is they themselves who openly state that they are not willing to conform to any human rights law unless they conform to Islamic or Shariah principles, in other words, if there is a hint of human rights in them at all.

The OIC is made up of nations such as Sudan, a nation ruled by a government that slaughters hundreds of thousands of its own people; Iran, the nation with the second largest number of executions that include hanging and stoning as punishments and is number one in executions per capita; Saudi Arabia, the only nation on the planet that still openly rejects the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the founding document of the Council and all modern human rights legislation. 

The presence of the OIC on the UN Human Rights Council contradicts everything that the council's founders envisioned.  The OIC is a body of oppressive dictatorships, totalitarian governments, consistent human rights VIOLATORS and therefore has no place on the council and has no right to be given license to hold any opinion on human rights whatsoever. 

By Signing this petition you are stating that you believe in genuine human rights and that the presence of something as sinister as the OIC on the council undermines the very point of the council's existence, and therefore you request that it be removed without hesitation or apology of any sort.
