Fascist police states have no place in democratic international institutions. This is why nothing gets done at the UN.

It is of no surprise that a major human rights violator like bat virus land would vote against such a measure. This world, more than ever, is divided between true democracies and shitholes that kick human rights with boots. Unfortunately, they are in the majority, population wise.
