The UN, where rights abusers get to be on the human rights council

Terry Glavin: The UNHRC is so rife with oppressors and torture states that it just might serve the opposite of its founding purpose

Doug Ford, Jason Kenney and the end of the world

Stephen Maher: Only fools, cranks or politicians can ignore the scientific consensus around global warming and the urgent need to address it

Trump gives a press conference, and the world laughs (with him?)

Scott Gilmore: A year ago, this spectacle would have sparked several international crises. Today, the world is mostly laughing at the U.S. president.

Trump claimed that ‘humanity is better’ thanks to him. In a body that sustains itself on problems it never solves, that’s cause for nervous laughter

Terry Glavin: There is a lot wrong with the UN Human Rights Council, but the United States’ abdication of its UN leadership role serves no one

The G7 question: How do we America-proof the West?

Scott Gilmore: America has gone from bulwark of the western alliance to a threat. It’s time for a strategy to contain the U.S. and defend ourselves.
